#579 - Pad Cymru, Human Alps and A Constant Perma-Rolling Crisis

Elis James and John Robins
Contains some strong language, adult humour and some scenes of a sexual nature.

Available for over a year

Poor old Elis. Just when he thought he’d been surprised enough this year we go and chuck another one his way. Because a famous ghost from his past is about to stroll into the studio and cause all sorts of emotions. But before then, a trip down memory lane with a Cymru Connectee gets his blood pumping with shame. And he explains why he’d spend his final day on earth signing up to LinkedIn. John’s also here, and kicks off the show with his new range of Elis and John bunkers. It’s an odd tone setter, sure, but it is current. Whilst we’re at it, do you want to surprise Elis with anything?
