    #334 - Fish Finger Frenzy, Piña Colada Eggs and a Daveless Space

    #334 - Fish Finger Frenzy, Piña Colada Eggs and a Daveless Space

    It’s a podcast-first first as Elis and John enter the unknown: Cheadle Hulme’s most handsome producer is absent, leaving the unproduceables unproduced. It’s Elis and John unleashed. But digital Dave is on hand to provide some podcasting tips, should the boys completely forget how to broadcast.
    Fish fingers are another main course, as a listener answers the age old question of how many of the breaded delights can be eaten in one sitting. Dads are of course up to their mad tricks, and a comedian friend drops by to answer a listener's dilemma.
    Also you can watch ‘So Many Reasons’, the Taylor Swift John Robins breakup song by Charlene Kaye, in full right here: www.bbc.co.uk/elisandjohn or on the BBC Sounds YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@BBCSounds

    #333 - Fine For Bride, So Many Reasons and If You Come For The Queen You Best Not Miss

    #333 - Fine For Bride, So Many Reasons and If You Come For The Queen You Best Not Miss

    A huge moment for both Swifties and Red Breasts alike, for today’s the day we hear the hit new single about “What if Taylor Swift broke up with a Bristolian comic who specialises in emotional heft.”
    The crowds are in and the red carpet is out, as despite Elis and John seemingly confusing a first play with a film premiere, this is an occasion.
    Elsewhere a listener sends in another wonderful Made Up Games jingle BUT it must pass the discerning ear of Johnny JR.
    If you want to check out our songwriter, and her shows / work, it’s the very funny and talented Charlene Kaye. Just give her a Google.
    To get in touch with the show then elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp 07974 293 022 are the places to go.

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

    #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.
    If you want to slip us a note then it's elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or save the show WhatsApp number (07974 293 022) in your contacts and message in whenever.

    #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.
