If you have ever held onto your hats before it’s time to really display what you’ve learned on the hat-holding practise pitch: this is elite hat-holding. And forgive me if my usual penchant for floridity and humour take a backseat so as not to obscure numerous important facts. So if you’re ready with your hat held, I will now engage ROBINS FACT MODE
FACT MODE ENGAGED
Ever heard of it? Yes, after twelve years (gulp) and over a thousand podcasts, you can now sign up to our Elis and John Patreon!
Before I go any further I want to stress in the largest font available to me
Ad free episodes will of course be available on Patreon too.
Here’s another thing for the big font fact attack
For twelve years Elis and I have been overwhelmed, humbled and very protective of our listeners and PCDs. We don’t want to deny anyone anything and we don’t want to create levels or hierarchies of fans. Patreon doesn’t offer a ‘pay what you want’ model, but the closest we could get was to offer the same to everyone at three different monthly prices. So our “tiers” aren’t tiers at all really, they’re just vibe spaces. And here they are
£5 Elis and John Apologist
£7 Vibe-Taster
£9 Hammer Legend
(Please note: if for some reason your browser defaults to USD there is an option to switch to GBPQuid at the bottom of the page)
And here’s what everyone gets
We are EXCITED TO THE MAX ABOUT THIS.
I am delighted to announce THE ADVENTURES OF ELIS AND JOHN. This is a monthly film brought to you the you the viewer (on Patreon) where Elis and I will travel around adventuring with Dave and present our exploits to you in as polished a format as our budget allows (and it’s pretty damn good if you ask me!). If you remember #BonusContent hits such as Elis and John Do An Escape Room and Elis and John Go Bowling, it’s that kind of vibe.
The first episode is up now, where the three of us compete in an Olympiad at Croydon Sports Arena. Who will reign supreme? Will there be any downsides to not practising track and field events you haven’t done since 1996 on the coldest day of the year?! Can you vape during the 1500m? Find out now!

That’s two a week! The first one will be up by tomorrow evening!
Footage of me in a bath is up soon!
(obvs!)
We will be performing live again soon and you’ll be the first to know and the first to buy tickets!
Currently on our Patreon there is an Elis and John (General) chat and also a place for you to suggest future adventures for us to film for you! The Facebook group and Reddit thread will still be of paramount importance as arenas for you to Back Britain / #DefendDave / suggest we’re phoning it in. And long may these wonderful online communities thrive!
And, to reiterate, for those of you that don’t want to sign up to Patreon, nothing you currently experience from us is disappearing. Podcasts are still available wherever you get them from, both episodes of Elis and John are ad-free on Sounds and The Bureau De Change Of The Mind is staying there too. For non-Patreon subscribers (Elis and John Freegans? / Gratisticians? / On The Housers?) your lives will be enriched with...
We’ve always been on YouTube in a strange unfindable way, I think the BBC’s term for this was “organic”. Well now you can dive into weekly highlights of the show and trailers for The Adventures Of Elis and John. There might also be shorts of stand out moments. So please do subscribe to the channel ASAP!

From today onwards Elis and John will be available in a slightly different way. We’ve developed a new contract with the BBC which, in fairness to the BBC, is pretty ground-breaking. It means we can commercialise Elis and John whilst maintaining the BBC Sounds experience for Sounds-Headz. In very simple terms this means we can start to have adverts outside of BBC Sounds, and we will no doubt create hilarious live reads for the likes of Big Bisc, Big Seed and, if all goes to plan, A SIGNIFICANT MORE SENSE THAN MONEY BOY HOTEL BRAND.
Due to #Factors the odd comment / poli-chip / mention of New Balance Fresh Foam X More V5 may be snipped out of the BBC Sounds version, but they will be 99.5% the same #Solid #Gold #Content
If your brand would like to sponsor the podcast you can email hello@significanthq.com to discuss terms. Due to always demanding “one hundred million grand” Elis and I will not be part of that discussion.
You can now follow Elis and John on Instagram and TikTok. Just search @elisandjohn
All the links are available here on our brand new website!
Our email address has changed to hello@elisandjohn.com
Please don’t subscribe to the Patreon through the Patreon app. This is all because of Apple’s ludicrous “in-app purchase” charge, which means you pay an extra 25%, all of which goes to Apple Inc. Subscribe online and then feel free to download the app to manage your fanage / vibe with your tribe / commune in your commune.
So, there you have it. A content revolution at your finger tips.
