  #575 - Orc Nation, A Degree in Limbs and Sir Doctor Captain John Robins MP 15.09.2026 1h 21min

  Watch out world because there’s a new doctor in town, and he’s got big plans. Yes it’s Dr Robins from now on, and if he’s lucky maybe someone will even chuck an MBE at the end. This feels significant.But who is our esteemed doctor broadcasting with today? We’ll tell ya; a man who can’t keep his defining characteristic within the confines of his own podcast (Elis), and an iguanadon (Dave). All is explained within.Plus, Sam and Ash from Skinwigs pop by to play a music-based Made Up Game that sees Elis and John trapped in a collaborative hell.Do you have any correspondence for our newly minted doctor? Send it to [email protected] forthwith.

  #574 - It’s Groinal, Club 44-60 and Crying At A Dog Called Bonehead 11.09.2026 1h 1min

  Big week for Elis because he’s cried all the liquid out of his body in the cinema. Why? Well it’s obviously because a South American woman named her dog Bonehead. And he’s in a spoilery mood after his big premiere trip. Well as spoilery as you can be about a film about a greatest hits tour show anyway.To bring him back down to earth Elis does have his dirty / clean laundry aired on the biggest comedy show on TV. Dave thinks we’ve got a big exclusive from it which is really stretching the threadbare definition of the term.We also receive quite an authoritarian email and hear of the hellscape of being a club rep in the noughties.Have you got any sartorial superstitions?

  #573 - Denim Condoms and Prunes: A Strange Episode 08.09.2026 1h 17min

  Remember where you are when you listen to today’s episode, because it’s one for the history books. It’s earth-shattering. It’s a leap forward in what’s possible in broadcasting. It’s one small step for man, one giant leap for podcast-kind. Because Elis James is about to eat a prune for the very first time in his life. We’ve got the tension music ready. This feels significant. This is historeh. But the innovation doesn’t stop there, as John reimagines PMQs and puts forward his plans for a brighter, better Britain. There’s a Cymru Connection bombshell, Elis gets trapped in resin, and John becomes a crossfit ghost.To enter the prune chat email [email protected] lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.

  #572 - My Multiple Men, Common Sense Express and In Association with Prunes 04.09.2026 1h 6min

  John’s hammering away at the word count of his opinionated column again. This time in his crosshairs it’s e-scooters. Politically he’s a hard person to work out. Which from a balance perspective is actually very helpful.There's also reports from Pembrokeshire, and we hear from a character who has piqued the boys' interest lately.Plus, when there’s news of (yet more) boundary breaking content to be fed into the digestive tract of the British audio industry, sometimes you just need it to sit in the stomach for a few days to build suspense.

  #571 - She Shy, Crumpets for the Boys and What of the Chickens? 01.09.2026 1h 6min

  It’s Lou Sanders FM once again and boy has she got Producer Dave sweating. From a pretty much unusable show introduction, to an anecdote that definitely flirts with the term ‘radio friendly’, one can only assume that Dave is dreaming of Elis’s swift return...But for now it’s Big Mummy and her Fact Factory, as Lou dishes up some tasty truths in the form of surprise facts about chickens and hiccups. One thing everyone can agree on: it’s a different show when Lou’s in town.John has finally met his match in dessert form, there’s a brief encounter with the paranormal, and a Made Up Game rule sends shockwaves through the team.Do you have a fact to submit to Big Mummy’s Fact Factory?

  #570 - Radio Husbands, Everything’s Magnolia and The Wetter The Better 28.08.2026 59min

  Lou is here! And she’s already made one friend and one enemy on the way in. Buckle up, in the first few minutes there are bad Welsh accents (sorry Elis) and promiscuous tales flying round the studio. Safe to say Dave is wishing he was still on holiday…Speaking of, John’s been on his holidays and even swam in the sea, twice. Get in the sea, change your state - Lou’s always said it. The colder the better. The wetter the better. Turns out, you can’t worry when you’re looking for little fish.Elsewhere, Lou is taking a stand in our all-new, all-precarious and all-very-delicately-dealt-with feature: Lou Sues Again. Plus, we’ve fired up the ol’ Rapid Response Unit to hear directly from you the people about some of your longest relationships.Do you own a fire truck in Thanet and have your own private well?

  #569 - Elis’s Nads, The London Custard Co. and 100 Cymru Connections 25.08.2026 1h 18min

  The tensest feature in global podcasting turns 100 today. That’s right, Elis James attempts his 100th Cymru Connection. This. Feels. Significant.His heart feels hot but his bum feels cold. Luckily his nads feel just right. He keeps repeating ‘Ruthin’ over and over again and his core temperature resembles that of an ill person. Can he reach the magic 50%? For the 100th time, let’s see.In other news there’s a new producer in town, as the brilliant Ruth Husko takes her place in the hotseat in a bid to tame the unproducables. We learn how Ruth played a vital role in hunkifying John’s book, and she chairs a Made Up Game that leads to one contestant experiencing a near death experience (it’s a word-based game, so we’ll let you decided who it might be…).All this, plus Mick Hucknall enters the scene in a brand new chapter of ‘Contact’.You can enter the Elis and John scene right now by emailing [email protected] lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.For weekly visual highlights, head to youtube.com/@elisandjohn.For everything else, head to elisandjohn.com.The Elis James and John Robins Show is a Significant Production.

  #568 - Laxative Links, Wow (Cubed) and A New Low For Freezer Storage 21.08.2026 54min

  In significant happenings John reveals the longest relationship of his life and what has caused it to break down. Namely, a Boggle addiction. We also discover the silent reality of what it’s like to be his neighbour.Elsewhere, Dave has gone to a cuddly toy exhibition in Harrogate but we plough on in his absence. However the occasion where Dave can’t cut the tension when Elis tries to prove John wrong is noticeable.Plus, we receive UK highways enthusiasm from the US of A. “Just tell me more about the roads.”Got any highways (or byways) input?

  #567 - Bilking, A Glis Glis Stakeout and Old Uncle Yogsley 18.08.2026 1h 7min

  It’s a very prison-based episode today, as John reveals he might be going there for petty crime, and Elis draws parallels between Albert Camus’s prison-residing outsider Meursault and Johnny JR. Was Camus foreshadowing the life of our favourite Bristol-born broadcaster?But don’t worry, it’s not all highbrow existentialism. John discovers another self-penned story on his hard drive that involves farts (but crucially, is not ABOUT farts).Also expect answers to the questions: Can you Cymru Connect over a horse? Can you take your odd socks to a raffle? And is the sky really a neighbourhood?Transmit your thoughts to email and send them pronto to [email protected] lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.

  #566 - The Infinite Diversion, Screaming In My Car and Hell Is Close To Stow-on-the-Wold 14.08.2026 1h 8min

  Robins has had a disaster. The sort of disaster that should only besiege Elis James. But what could it be? Tardiness? Something indicative of cognitive decline? Or maybe far worse?We also receive some very weak vindication for Elis after the mockery he received for his book openings, and we ask, would a 20 year old with a heavy goods vehicle licence be permitted to drive The Sportage?Got a £7 bag of crisps, a ham hock and an artisan cruffin to send in?

  #565 - Clive The Unwell, 30 Dairy Farmers and The 17:02 to Faversham 11.08.2026 1h 18min

  Well, well, well, well, well. Elis has officially completed the best gig of his life, and that’s even without his routine about Black Bart the pirate. A mere five and a half hours away by train, we have discovered his emotional hinterland: the Eisteddfod in Pembrokeshire.But away from the crowds, the choirs and the clog dancers, away from the druids and the dairy farmers, can our Welsh Hero handle the pressure back in the studio and Cymru Connect away from the motherland?Plus, is Dave the captain of a sinking ship? John seems convinced, after a surprise reading of The Ballad of ‘Reading Jil’. But move over, Oscar Wilde. We have some literary legends of our own as we play a Made Up Game for the ages. Let’s just say you’ll be seeing The Adventures of Flogworth and Blimp on the shelves very soon...probably.If you're one of our cute rats with something to say, get in touch at [email protected] lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.For weekly visual highlights, head to youtube.com/@elisandjohn.For everything else, head to elisandjohn.com.The Elis James and John Robins Show is a Significant Production.

  #564 - I Tire of You, Glowing in Welsh and Chris Edwards’ Bad Skin 07.08.2026 1h 16min

  The literary world has been set alight after a new best selling author was unveiled 30 years too late the other day. Is John Robins about to redefine the grounded motoring sci-fi genre for the 21st century? The first step is getting pointers from someone who’d consider 'thousands' of book sales to be small fry. Elsewhere, Elis is being consistently told how hot and sexy he is by the British population. Well Welsh Elis that is. John also gets corrected on the purpose of high speed rail, Adrian tells us about his superb clutch control and a Mad Dad puts a keyboard in the oven. It’s a bumper one.Got anything else to pump up Elis’s ego?

  #563 - Thatcher’s Playlist, Neil The Alien and The Bag of Digital Death 04.08.2026 1h 9min

  Elis may have been struggling with delayed trains, but fear not - it turns out our Producer Dave has a hotline to the Big Dog himself: Bandy Urnham. Nothing a quick phone call can’t fix…Plus, if you thought John's now-legendary Bag of Death was but a distant memory, think again, as the boys uncover the beginnings of a creative endeavour that our Thornbury wordsmith began at the age of just 13. And lo, we enter the era of the Password Protected Bag of Digital Death.But enough of passwords, protection and privacy. Elis is still on a mission to connect with his fellow Welsh folk in a tense edition of the Cymru Connection.Plus, we welcome a brand new feature - highlighted in pea green on Dave's big list of new ideas, no less - The Rapid Response Unit.Have you got an Alien Novel in you?

  #562 - The Riff Ripcord, No Joy in a Tesco and Loyal As 10,000 Dogs 31.07.2026 1h 11min

  John has shaken up the show at a big meeting in Elis’s absence. He should be prepared. In the meantime, comedy fans have been getting the true Elis James stand up experience: Having your joggers called s*** and then introducing Chris McCausland. Get ready Albert Hall. Maybe the mojo does need to return. Plus, the words reaping and sowing once again come to mind, as Buckinghamshire’s most hubristic man sees the warning light chickens come home to roost. Also, John has a frequent male escort and a new friend. They are not the same. Been unwittingly papped or have comments on ABS sensors?

  #561 - Foxer & Foxee, Count Connection Face and Silly Sausage Britain 28.07.2026 1h 4min

  Welcome to the silliest podcast around. It’s headphones filled with custard, it’s microphones made of cake, it’s stink bombs in the studio. And all because we have one of the nation’s silliest sausages in our midst: The Prince of Pranks, the goofiest goofball, Mr Elis James.After all the hijinks and japes it’s down to serious chat: Elis and John map out the future of AI, which worryingly ends with us being breastfed by computers…All this, plus Elis meets his Moriarty in the Cymru Connection, in an attempt to connect that means so much more than just improving his stats. John unearths yet another talent in this week’s paint-based Made Up Game, and we chat to the man who ran across America 4 times, Rob Pope.Do you want to get involved with Silly Sausage Britain?

  #560 - The Messi of Englyns, Warranty Wallies and Garth Olwg or Bust 24.07.2026 1h 11min

  If you like your podcasts jam-packed with top quality content, then boy do we have a show for you.First up: what’s it like to be in a creative powerhouse couple? A quite stressed Elis lifts the lid. And he explains why he needs Daniel Kitson to pull his finger out.Next John talks about being a lion of the plains, and walking into a saloon wearing all black. Admittedly it is quite confusing, but stick with it, as it leads to a big revelation and allows Elis to gleefully don his Welsh tourist board cap.Then we receive 'one of the most wrongheaded emails' John has ever read in his entire life, and we learn how Elis would react if a low bandit were to sever him limb from limb.Send us your feedback on this multi-layered content buffet by emailing [email protected] lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.For weekly visual highlights, head to youtube.com/@elisandjohn.For everything else, head to elisandjohn.com.The Elis James and John Robins Show is a Significant Production.

  #559 - Here We Hit It, The Calmru Connection and Darwin’s Flatmate Dave 21.07.2026 57min

  Sad news everyone, Elis is retiring. We thought Johnny JR would go first, but Elis has beaten him to it. He’s peaked. He’s reached his zenith and there ain’t nowhere to go from there. But worry not, because he’s referring to his DJing career and not his podcasting one…Then it’s onto kids' parties and the big question: is John’s conduct in the Bureau de Change of the Mind the best training ground for dealing with 20 hungry kids? All this plus some top tier shame, a cracking Cymru Connection, and a Made Up Game that unearths the bombshell revelation that John’s book 'Thirst' was a ripoff of the OG blubography, Charles Darwin’s 'On the Origin of Species'. Please continue to furnish us with your brilliantly penned correspondence by sending it to [email protected] lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.For weekly visual highlights, head to youtube.com/@elisandjohn.For everything else, head to elisandjohn.com.The Elis James and John Robins Show is a Significant Production.

  #558 - Drip Feeding Dross, Dave Kanchelskis and Oiling The Engine of Love 17.07.2026 1h 8min

  John, Dave and Calvin Harris are with you today to discuss all things DJ’ing. Incidentally, Calvin Harris can only DJ when there’s another wifi connection. If there isn’t then he rings his indie disco mate and the air turns blue. As well as hearing about all the hottest dance gigs, Dave drops an absolute bombshell within seconds of starting the record. Something he’s held back for years amidst the oceans of dross that this show has covered. Also, John deigns to tell Elis’s hero about his lovemaking backdrop, and ring the poem bell! Because Dave must reflect on a dual possibility moment that the vast majority wish wasn’t being referenced. There’s also some bold male behaviour floating around from a man whose clothes are all disposable and another who reuses calendars.Got something for us? Have you ever asked a question on Reddit?

  Our trio are on the old remote tricast today and John is, again, incredibly keen to emphasise just how well he is getting on during Operation Heatwave. But it’s also hot hot hot broadcasting as we hear of tupperware audits and controversy in the Dads Race.
