    The Bureau de Change of the Mind - 'Squeak for Life'

    You WILL NOT BELIEVE what Elis and John talk about in this podcast episode!!! Actually, you probably will, because they talk about wine gums, the contents of Dave's postbag, and watching YouTube videos about the phonetic alphabet. If you want to get involved with the Bureau de Change, email elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp 07974 293 022.

    #481 - The Mega Bond, £14.67 Savings and Dressed As A Big Kefir

    We’re at a crossroads. A vape crossroads. For the dual forces of quicker marathon times and health effects are coming together to fight against the temptations of fruity mist. And John must make a choice. Elsewhere it’s a show of rare beasts: Elis takes it upon himself to get in the grill of a listener and do the sacking, and we dole out a good radio bell for a listener. Is that a first? Plus, John’s decided he can’t keep working with the other two. As such, Dave’s got him really down. Thanks Dave, Elis will have to inject a lot of cake and energy into the Tuesday record now. Want to make an attempt at earning your own good radio bell ding? elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk and 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp are your primary routes.

    #480 - Hot Trees, Exhaustion Tears and Let It Be Birds

    What’s the best way to round off 39 hours of no sleep? Invite 7 young girls round for your daughter’s birthday sleepover, that’s how! Were there tears? Of course! Did said tears belong to Elis or the kids? Listen to find out. Elsewhere we’re answering the question, ‘is mid-October too early to be talking about Christmas?’ Not in these parts it ain’t, as Elis makes a startling claim about Irish wishlists and John questions the role Santa played in his childhood festivities. All this, plus what comes to mind when you think of Brian May, a rollercoaster of a Road to Nowhere, and huge developments in the Cymru Connection’s role in forging Wales’s national identity. We’re fast becoming the world’s first email-powered, self sustaining podcast. But we need more of your emails to keep things moving. Send them to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk, or write them in WhatsApp form and send them to 07974 293 022.

    The Bureau de Change of the Mind: ‘Denim Vibe Attack’

    If Elis wasn’t excited enough at having cockles on yesterday’s episode, the noises he emits when scrolling through coats on a museum’s website indicate such excitement is eclipsed on today's Bureau de Change. He’s so excited in fact that he writes down the name of the museum twice. The whole thing descends into three men looking at their phones shouting ‘look at that!’, and if that isn’t award-winning podcasting, then we don’t know what is. Plus we hear once more from listener Hannah who found herself locked in her bedroom, and there’s the tale of a plumber turning up to a job in evening dress. You can send in anything you like to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk, or WhatsApp the show on 07974 293 022.

    #479 - Going Cockleless, Lamb In Bed and The Elis James Clerical Universe

    This show has been many things, but right now this a cockles podcast. Elis’s homecoming show in Swansea was very much tied to whether he could get cockles at breakfast which sets us off on a cockle rollercoaster. But will Dave like them? There’s also a very intense Ask Us Anything, and a 1.5 times playing of the jingle. Plus, what meat would you eat betwixt the sheets? elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp to tell us your preferred meat. And do remember tomorrow’s Bureau de Change of the Mind is *only* on the world beating BBC Sounds. So get blooming subscribed on there.

    #478 - Zones, Curry Pyjamas and Pre-Time Speeches

    If there was an award given out for the ‘Most Tense Moment in the Final Round of a Game Made Up by a Listener’, then this show would win it. Fresh from their triumph at the British Podcast Awards, Elis and John look to add another trophy to the cabinet by creating a moment so contentious and dramatic that it requires the use of VAR; Voice Assisted Referee. Away from the Made Up Game hijinks there’s week-late-Ryder Cup chat, a revelatory story about the lengths a young Dave Masterman went (literally) for love, and a mystery caller in The Cymru Connection unearths some troubling memories for Elis. There’s nothing better than receiving your correspondence, so send it to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp the show on 07974 293 022.

    The Bureau de Change of the Mind: ‘Pure Riffing’

    It’s 100% riff matrix. It’s an unadulterated trip to the riff symposium. The riff in its most natural form: it’s Pure Riffing. Elis and Dave take on John’s challenge of backing the riff till they can back it no more, of riffing until they’re all riffed out. It’s a riff marathon and you’ve got front row seats. When the riffing’s been done, there’s a listener complaining about the catchiness of one of the show’s jingles, and Elis gets excited about how many Welsh players have played for Everton. What is an email but a written down riff symposium? Riff them, write them, and send them in to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk. Or WhatsApp them with your quick Gen Z fingers to 07974 293 022.

    #477 - Oasising, The Sero Clan and Trapped in Neasden

    It’s 3 croaky voices in the studio today because Elis and Dave have Oasised once again, and poor old John is unwell. Luckily that means a general vibe alignment is struck, but, crucially, the standards do not slip. For Elis and Dave both have tales of struggling to get out of Wembley, and John wonders which of his awards would be best suited to beating off an intruder. The other overriding question of the day is would you rather visit historical moments as a person or as a ghost? If that doesn’t provide hours of conversation for you and yours this weekend, we’re not sure what will. All this plus sexy flags (have we finally found THE sexiest flag?), John makes it into an actual cryptic crossword, and Dave faces accusations of spreading false information. If you want to offer up your own person or ghost scenarios (Elis and John recording their first ever podcast: person. John eating his first ever 100 chili fish dish: ghost), send them to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk, or WhatsApp the show on 07974 293 022. And remember to check out tomorrow’s Bureau de Change of the Mind, where John challenges Elis and Dave to enter the symposium and back the riff, with mixed results. Only on your friend and ours, BBC Sounds.
