#547 - Pressure is a Privilege

Elis James and John Robins
Contains some strong language and adult humour.

Available for over a year

Today’s show is all about one man: one of Wales’s greatest sons, one of the football terrace’s greatest sons, one of podcasting’s greatest sons. We’re talking about none other than the the cycling extraordinaire, the cagoule aficionado, the Cymru Connector-in-Chief, Mr Elis James. And what one thing does Elis hate above all else? Surprises. And what do we have in store for him? A surprise so big that John’s smirk can almost be heard from the opening drum beat. Josh Widdicombe is also on hand to crank up the tension. Strap yourselves in for the mega-surprise of all mega-surprises. And remember, pressure is a privilege. Away from all the James-centric japes there’s a World Cup-based Made Up Game that puts Elis and John’s big brains to the test, and a listener reads Gandhi’s biography out loud to a youth on a train. Are you feeling surprised? Let us know how much by emailing hello@elisandjohn.com.
