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… [Listen](https://sphinx.acast.com/p/open/s/698b89c05e0cb52f15bcde20/e/6a88735649da908299dc49c2/media.mp3) ## [Colwill's cracker deflates Wrexham](http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0p559sb) _2026-08-18 · Feast of Football_ Carl Roberts, Nathan Blake and Lee Trundle react to Cardiff City's last second equaliser against Wrexham on the opening weekend of the Championship season.

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… [Listen](https://sphinx.acast.com/p/open/s/698b89c05e0cb52f15bcde20/e/6a846c583c90594060b9e397/media.mp3) ## [#566 - The Infinite Diversion, Screaming In My Car and Hell Is Close To Stow-on-the-Wold](https://shows.acast.com/elis-james-and-john-robins/episodes/566-the-infinite-diversion-screaming-in-my-car-and-hell-is-c) _2026-08-14 · Elis James and John Robins_ 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… [Listen](https://sphinx.acast.com/p/open/s/698b89c05e0cb52f15bcde20/e/6a7f3e586e5b5bfda68f9c9f/media.mp3) ## [New Season, New Team!](http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0p3xfn5) _2026-08-11 · Feast of Football_ We are back for a 10th season, and we've assembled a new squad.

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… [Listen](https://sphinx.acast.com/p/open/s/698b89c05e0cb52f15bcde20/e/6a7b16e36003752573111cec/media.mp3) ## [#564 - I Tire of You, Glowing in Welsh and Chris Edwards’ Bad Skin](https://shows.acast.com/elis-james-and-john-robins/episodes/564-i-tire-of-you-glowing-in-welsh-and-chris-edwards-bad-ski) _2026-08-07 · Elis James and John Robins_ 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.

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.

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.

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… [Listen](https://sphinx.acast.com/p/open/s/698b89c05e0cb52f15bcde20/e/6a5e3ff619fcc7b0d02c87f1/media.mp3) ## [#558 - Drip Feeding Dross, Dave Kanchelskis and Oiling The Engine of Love](https://shows.acast.com/elis-james-and-john-robins/episodes/558-drip-feeding-dross-dave-kanchelskis-and-oiling-the-engin) _2026-07-17 · Elis James and John Robins_ 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.
