    #332 - Mr Audio, Love's Best Lubricant and The Man Who Can Eat Three Curries

    All sorts of achievements flying around on the show. Some aural and others gastronomic as the boys reflect on a great night at the big radio awards as well as John's food consumption.
    We check in on how the Swift x Robins masterpiece is coming together and also answer the question, "Should you clap 180 nominees?" A Q that all of the high fliers in various industries will be asking.

    #331 - Five Star Bums, Tax Over Taylor and Too Punctual For Love

    #331 - Five Star Bums, Tax Over Taylor and Too Punctual For Love

    ‘Smorgasbord’ is a word frequently deployed to describe the Elis and John podcast. A buffet-style meal of Swedish origin which is typically celebratory with guests also to help themselves from a range of dishes laid out for their choice.
    And though there’s not a Swede in sight, there is a veritable buffet of delectable content on today’s show to pick through on the table.
    A chilled open sandwich of teenage Shame here, an anecdote delicacy to cut through the weight there. Pass the hors d’oeuvres bums across the table and a helping of inventive songwriting suggestions to top that.
    Do you want to get in touch with the show? Is *all* correspondence read? The answer to both of those Qs is ‘yes’. So send it all to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or on Whatsapp 07974 293 022. (Save the number in your contacts and message the show whenever wherever).

    #330 - Sleepy Elis, A Corporate Shill for Big Thick and David Gandy

    #330 - Sleepy Elis, A Corporate Shill for Big Thick and David Gandy

    Knees are shaking and pulses are racing as none other than international superstar model David Gandy stops by for a chat to answer all of Elis and John’s questions about modelling. Confronted with such handsomeness, how does everyone cope? Well, Elis ‘feels things’, John swears, and Dave’s glasses steam up.
    An unwell and remote John goes fully digital, a listener wins a marathon, and Elis’s commentating skills shine once again.

    #329 - Sacked for Sadness, Hated for Content, and A Steady Hand on the Tiller of Love

    #329 - Sacked for Sadness, Hated for Content, and A Steady Hand on the Tiller of Love

    The boys are beset by worries this week: John is in a tizz over whether his faulty car will be covered its warranty, and Elis is suspicious that the neighbours are talking about him and his newly-scratched car behind his back. Thankfully these worries are soothed by scorching anecdotes about trying to smoke a cigar, and getting sacked from a mid-afternoon quiz show for looking too sad.
    Producer Dave’s willpower meets its match in a packet of chocolate biscuits, English accents are hidden from Scottish schoolchildren, and another Dave extols the virtues of living abroad.

    #328 - The Golden Age of Whaling, Five Whimsical Bananas, and A Robin and A Swift

    #328 - The Golden Age of Whaling, Five Whimsical Bananas, and A Robin and A Swift

    Today’s episode tackles the Big Questions, but only if by Big Questions you mean specifically: what spotted insect is causing John to yelp in bed? Would Elis or John have thrived on a 19th century whaling vessel? And how would John’s life change if he started going out with one of the most famous women in the world?
    As usual, motorways feature, Elis gets lampooned for missing out on seeing one of John’s musical heroes live, and we all learn a valuable lesson: when a podcast matters, John matters.

    #327 - Tim’s Rumpus Room, Pork Chop Calves and Buckinghamshire Living

    #327 - Tim’s Rumpus Room, Pork Chop Calves and Buckinghamshire Living

    If you thought this show was your safe space away from pop behemoth Taylor Swift’s single handed takeover of popular culture then sadly you’d be wrong. For it’s Swiftmas Day (well if you view this in a linear fashion rather than circular) and John’s neck deep in it.
    Also the reverberations of Elis stepping on John’s turf continue to ripple through gains space and time, whilst the question of pâté comes under the spotlight.
    If you’ve got any crucial information that simply must see the light of day then to get in touch it’s elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp on 07974 293 022
