BONUS PODCAST – Phfphatttttttttttttttt Riffs

What a week as the boys covered Drive. This podcast will oscillate wildly, just like the mood of (most of) the nation (England), but luckily Elis & John kept a steady hand on the tiller. Enjoy. Then feel upset. Then feel a vague touch of optimism and pride, dampened by a crushing sense of familiarity. Happy podcasting!

Episode 227 – Indie World Cup, Childcare Permitting & Queen Eye For The Gay Guy

Sometimes, John wants to put out his eyes. Other times he’s just lobbying Elis to say YES. It was a show that critics may have called “distracted” given the football vibes moving through the studio – but there wasn’t one moment where the badinage was in question. You can still expect Humblebrags, John’s gig diaries and almost a third of the show dedicated to something that was definitely NOTHING to do with FIFA.

Episode 220 – Toenails, Naked Abyss & John’s Pips

Why start a broadcast in a good mood? John Robins doesn’t always, but it usually only takes a sandwich, some crisps, a coffee and some A-Grade badinage to get him out of his funk.

Episode 219 – William G, Judgey Elis & Gasser Likes A Phall

Episode 218 – Bloopers, Blunders & BACS

It was everyone’s favourite type of show this week: The fabled “giddy” show. Classic. In a week where Elis James became the focus of many a PCD meme-maker, the lads took to the airwaves with panache and a firm eye on the blooper reel.

Episode 214 - The Temperature of Punjab, Top Gear Magazine & MasterShouldn't

The dream team are back together! John made it through his ‘week of death’ on tour, with a few grey hairs to prove it. He got straight into the massive backlog of your emails, with more wackaging and even a wackager!

Episode 213 – Ed Gamble, Sad Spider & Potty Mouth John Motson

Of course normal service will resume soon, but we do love a guest host. Friend of the show and all round legend Ed Gamble took up the mantle this week and hammer-smashed it out of the vibe park. The best bit is, even in John’s absence, there was no shortage of shame. Plus, it’s always a laugh to hear Elis having a nightmare with muscle-memory.

Have you ever had to take your shoe for a shower?! Definitely avoid feeding ham to foxes. There’s no two ways about it – the lads were almost literally on fire in this week’s show.

Episode 209 - Naked Broadcasting, Bad Hat & Mars Bar Fondue

Getting underway this week with a gig/snow-based PSA on behalf of absent capable comedian, John Robins. In his seat, “your favourite comedian” James Acaster – but which famous ex-footballer did he meet in a service station earlier this week?

Well what a palaver. We all remember Tick Tock Robins don’t we? It was so fraught that we didn’t even have time for Humblebrags! Imagine that!? John arrived eventually and it all came together nicely in the end. A brilliant show that gave Elis a chance to beat his commercial-indie-digital-radio wings on his own for a bit. There was a lovely paper review, a quallo set of E-mails and an update of Robins’ continuing tour! Remember, you can get in touch on Saturday@radiox.co.uk (if you’re on e-mail.

Episode 204 – Wis-duh, Infinite Christian Fish & Chips & What Would Robins Do?

Poor, poor little Robins. He could hardly talk, bless him! Still dragged himself in thought didn’t he? John had tonsillitis this week so Elis did the lion’s share of the talking. There was still plenty to laugh about though; not least how Elis is getting on with his daughter’s potty training (spoiler: It’s not going well). There was also a smashing Made Up Game from listener Matt and it was right up the lads’ street. All this plus the usual Humblebrags, a Shame Well read by Elis and a couple of lovely emails.

Episode 201 – Stranded Robins, Josh Widdicombe & Little Chef Lollies

You can’t have escaped that tirade of press coverage… It’s the least that can be expected when a man like Robins is stranded stateside and unable to broadcast. Elis soldiered boldly on though; with a stiff upper lip and a determined look in his eye. That was not before enlisting the help of esteemed friend of the show, Josh Widdicombe! Robins still managed to put his two cents in though and (once he was out of bed) joined in the fun from across the pond. A brilliant show with all the Humblebrags, shame and badinage that you’d expect. Remember, you can get in touch on Saturday@radiox.co.uk (if you’re on e-mail.
