After the wave of excitement around Mr Audioâs new Welsh podcast project 'Welsh Rarebit: Grilled by Elis James', itâs time for John to enter the lucrative side-hustle podcast game. Step forward 'Trauma on The Tee with John Robins'. If deep emotional conversations and the latest bunker wedges are your thing, keep your ears peeled.
But here on this podcast, featuring two of the countryâs brightest and best comedians, itâs actually Producer Dave who comes up with the best quip of the episode. Ring that good podcasting bell!

Elis and John have been on journeys this week, both metaphorically and literally. Yes we cover their travel woes as the pair journeyed back from Wales (Elis sustained by Aberystwyth goodwill, John driven by the need to forge his own path), but we also cover the spiritual journeys undertaken in the realms of teeth whitening, shoe laces, and slug juice.
Aside from all the journeying thereâs a new character introduced to the mix, a desperate attempt from Elis to avoid the hat trick of failures in the Cymru Connection, and a belter of a Made Up Game.

Itâs happened. Elis and John have turned into crypto bros. This is now a crypto pod. It was only a matter of timeâŠ
But worry not, itâs only a fleeting transformation, and after some serious reflections the boys are back doing what they do best: discussing how to approach an all-you-can-eat buffet, wading further into the dried fruits vs sweets debate, and questioning the coolness of marshmallows.
John reflects on yet another successful golfing trip, and Elis delivers his latest hot take on popcorn. Itâs vintage stuff.
If this show were an old steam train, then your correspondence would be the steam. We need it to keep the wheels running. Send it to [email protected], or get in touch via WhatsApp on 07974 293 022.
And remember that the greatest track upon which to listen to the show (if it were still an old steam train) would be the trusty tracks of BBC Sounds.

Itâs a giddy John we encounter today, for our hero is about to embark on his yearly golfing pilgrimage to Elisâs beloved Portugal. Talk of unspeakably high win rates and historic opportunities to become âbetter than Man City at golfâ abounds.
Elsewhere, thereâs a lengthy discussion about the pros and cons of skipping TV theme music, an eventful outing of Johnâs favourite feature The Cymru Connection (which leads to a yet another new podcast idea for Mr Audio), and a âbilly-bink-bink-bonksâ Shame Well entry.

Tick tock Robins went down in history. But tick tock Masterman? Now thatâs a whole different ball game. Like Stuart Pearce or Joe Royle missing the team bus, youâd think that unheard of, but not today. So expect the sackings to fly.
Away from such tardiness, Elis reads the best and second best emails of this financial quarter, John features in one of sportâs most hilarious beefs and, shockingly I know, in depth service station chat interrupts some Tolkien Mad Daddery.
If you want to provide the best email of Q4 then send it in to [email protected] or if WhatsAppâs your digital bag then 07974 293 022 is the number to save in your phone.

Oh we do have some fun donât we. And if the Funometer was measuring in funtometres then todayâs show would cause it to 404 error due to exceeding the fun scale. And itâs in large part because walking jingler David OâDoherty is on the show with a funtastic Made Up Game to play!
Plus thereâs a Shame thatâll really make you squirm and an absolutely compelling Welshman for Elis to sink his parochial teeth into. But thereâs also time for #reflection with some earth shattering news about the Bag of Death.

As time continues its cruel, relentless, and inevitable march onwards, thoughts turn to retirement plans; how will our heroes see out their final days? Who has their eye on one big final paycheck? The answer may surprise you. And who doesnât mind just fizzling out quietly? Elis.
Itâs also a big day for Producer Dave, as his lost university dissertation finally sees the light of day. The nation has been waiting with baited breath to hear about the past, present, and future of Sheffield Hallamâs student radio station Rush Radio, and today we can deliver the goods.
And fortunately/unfortunately (deleted as appropriate), there is still a little bit of the dance to be danced...

After such vigorous dancing last time out the boys have done their stretches and downed their recovery shakes in preparation for a classic Elis and John day at the office.
In a quite astonishing move, Dave takes a laptop to church, Elis struggles to follow the recipe and thereâs a Cymru Connection for which circular content was designed for.
Elis also takes in some excellent advice from you the you the listener on how he can chart the waters of wedlock and John makes a quite startling revelation about how he spent the other afternoon.
If you don't already, listen to the show on BBC Sounds. It's completely free to download and you get ALL BBC audio right at your fingertips!To get in touch on this and that itâs [email protected], and on WhatsApp 07974 293 022. And yes, you can now stop emailing about dynamic ticket pricing, for the inbox has exploded to the degree that we might have to increase the entry price due to demand.

Weâre all excited about dancing the dance. The most intimate dance. Cheek to cheek entering the ballroom. John woke up at 3:30 this morning on edge about dancing the dance. His favourite conversation. The romantic frisson. The interplay between venue capacity, ticket price and audience demand. The delicious dance. The one thing better than talking about the dance is being actually involved in the dance.
What the above probably hasnât elucidated is, it should be pointed out, is that the dance more specifically is 45 minutes of discussion about dynamic pricing. This might not be for everyone. So if youâre against that then do leave the show playing whilst you nip out the house because we need to keep those retention figures up.
There are things in this episode which donât involved dancing but it makes up about 25%.
The email address for the show is [email protected] and 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp. Feel free to email in about The Dance but if Production have to read 120 emails on Monday morning about dynamic pricing then it will likely make them sad.

Weâll throw down the gauntlet here. This is *classic* Elis and John. A podium place episode. Champions League. There, I said it. Big laughs, sex swapping, something harrowing from Robins, an absolute Billy belter⊠of a Cymru Connection, Americans dealing with 5-year-oldsâ opinions on gun control and a rock solid Shame.
Elsewhere Elis settles into married life by talking about Patreon to a Frenchman, John is desperate to know from Phil Wang how to get a Netflix Special and a Made Up Game to really grab your attention. Thereâs just *a lot* going on.

A union that weâve waited 15 years for between a pair significantly involved in the UKâs cultural scene. Some of the most significant personal news to hit this show in a long long time which requires examining on many fronts. No not Elisâs wedding but the Oasis reunion. For Producer Dave might spontaneously combust. He might break down due to not being on the presale and there are distinct concerns for his use of substances in July 2025.
Elsewhere Elis has got married. That's also in here.
Also expect some significant accusations from the most trend setting radio show in the land.

With post-wedding factors still in play, itâs another trip down the pre-recorded well today. But donât for one second think that means a drop in quality, for with this very podcast episode comes high quality chat about dog/fox mess, a scorching anecdote about Elis having his car cleaned, and a meaty Made Up Game from the vaults to boot.
With the Oasis reunion news rocking producer Dave to his very core, thereâs also a very fortuitous and timely chat about the merits of Noel Gallagherâs cooking skills. Itâs almost as if Noel and Liam were waiting for this episode to drop. It makes you wonderâŠ

You might have been expecting to come across the full lowdown of what is being described by Hello and OK! as the wedding of the summer. But no, for with weddings come honeymoons, so itâs a break glass for emergency episode situation. Thus, if it seems weird that thereâs no mention of the happy couple or Johnâs best man activities then thereâs your reasoning.
So itâs three crazy guy joined by Annie McGrath to tackle a Chinese conundrum. Plus they dig into some of your questions and chat the hottest bods in the comedy game.

Well, Fine and Unwell: the three states. Constantly switching across protagonists with one having to pick up the slack. But who will it be this week? An Elis at peak stress levels, a Dave on one hour sleep, or a still zen Robins?
Thereâs a lot of chaos to absorb on the show today as Dave tries his best to wrangle four professional talkers. Never has a bleary eyed father of three had his patience tested so much. The combination of Elis and John x Clara and Jordan from BBC Soundsâ âMake Me A Mixtapeâ could be his undoing.
Elsewhere there are a couple of the most bonkers coach journeys hitherto known to man - which justifies this very long threadâs continued current inclusion. Plus, has Elis finally met his Cymraes match?
You can check out Make Me A Mixtape on the inimitable BBC Sounds. Itâs loadsa fun. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0j2n5w8/episodes/player

Twas the night before Elisâs wedding, and though we canât offer you non-stirring mice, we can guarantee you something even better, and even rarer: Elis at the end of his tether. He has 3 big problems for enlightened John to solve, and the balm of reading stories about the maddest of dads offers some much needed salve.
John frets about the legacy of Ivo Grahamâs past wedding speech triumphs, and Daveâs in a tizz of his own after returning from a nightmare journey back from his beloved Algarve.
Itâs an episode beset by worries but packed with the usual laughs, and ends with Elis picturing his dream wedding where no one has turned up and heâs sat there eating piles of salmon...

The Elis and John realm remains a very zen place to be. So grab your headphones, get into a comfortable position, and let the BBCâs youngest and most chilled out broadcasters relax your busy mind.
And what could be more relaxing than a chat about arctic rolls? What could induce a sense of calm more than picturing Elis James in a 14th century jesterâs outfit? Can you achieve nirvana by talking about the first Ronseal bride? Youâll have to listen to find out.

Johnâs been on a silent retreat. Today he breaks his silence with a man, who unlike him, ultimately revels in conversation. One who would discuss the career stats of Leon Britton until the heat death of the universe.
Itâs a big one on one between two intellectual heavyweights. Think BBC Four or late night TV of the past whereby two great minds would just melt out reflections to biggen your brain by osmosis. Or alternatively itâs just a big old chat about guff management. A changed man and Elis just shooting the (psychological) breeze.
If you want to get in touch with the show then [email protected] is the electronic mail. And 07974 293 022 is the WhatsApp number.

Elis and John have been overcome by two forces this week: Olympic fever, and the stark realisation that their bits are old. The former makes for a Made Up Game for the ages, whilst the latter leads to a pensive mood in the studio.
Sporting antics and todger worrying aside, John thinks he might have become one of the great parents, Elis reads a world-beating mad dad story, and there's a controversial sitting of the Petty Parliament.

36 hours. That is the approximate time it takes to travel to from Melton Mowbray to Gibraltar via coach. It is also the approximate time now dedicated to emails on how long coach journeys can be. But Elis and John are endlessly fascinated by your horrible horrible travels.
But amidst such mega[bus] chat thereâs moments that are actually quite #moving. Because you know we can deal with emotional heft and also acknowledge that John can bring the mood down on a cancer ward.
Elsewhere thereâs a fantastic surprise in the spin the wheel nature that is 80 Daves and the prospect of Robins as Samuel Pepys sends a chill down the spine.
Have you been on a coach? Was it for too long? Maybe youâre on a coach now which has wifi and you can thus send your correspondence to [email protected].

The Great Organiser is Robins. And his latest trick was to organise the ultimate stag for a Welshman in his forties. Design touches, #thoughtfulness and the opportunity to simply talk to people for a few hours amount to a roaring success all round and provides a prime example of why Johnâs so stressed all the time. Itâs because he tries.
In other non-stag quarters thereâs a meaty old global David and the official refereesâ board enters the fray around Elisâs Welsh connecting. In a rare occasion itâs a Made Up Game-less show today simply because thereâs anecdotes aplenty.
Do you want to contact the show? Yes. Do you have access to an electronic message inbox? Almost certainly. Well youâre in luck because [email protected] if the means you can use to contact the show with all yer mad father, mad-e up game and maddening stories.
