#583 - Podglomerates, Karaoke (A) and Always Go Nations League
2026/10/13
It’s been a week of celebration at E&J towers; Elis has been 12th birthday partying with his daughter (and turned into a master chocolate pourer in the process) and Dave is about to/has just had his big day whilst walking around Harrogate with a bunch of lads. Different ages, different needs. There’s no celebration for John, however, who puts himself on the back foot trying to defend another on-the-hoof analogy. Plus, because we’re still remote, there’s the welcome return of the classic game Room Raiders, where the boys rummage through their possessions to find the best items. Send in your Mad Dads, your Shame Wells, and everything in between to [email protected]. For lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.

#582 - Text Steff, Chasing the Nightcap and Nuance from the Gaps
2026/10/09
It’s a remote affair today and there are camera issues from the off. Elis looks like a billionaire, whilst John (your pixelated man on the street) and Dave look like they’re on a Zoom quiz in lockdown. The reason why we’re remote? Well, Britain’s spokesperson for intimate procedure journeys is back. And don’t worry, he’s got a metaphor based on cagoules that will easily explain everything. We also hear from friend of the show/chaos merchant Ivo Graham about Elis’s big night out last week, Elis admits that he’s let the people of Cardiff down, and John has a niche request around homophones.

#581 - Unofficial Bumbags, Anti-Cunning Disease and Susie Dent
2026/10/06
We’re creating water cooler moments here on Elis and John. From 'how many t-shirts do you own', to 'is there a God', via the state of play in the treehouse scene. Not sure how or why we got here, but there’s no doubt about it; we’re shaping the nation’s conversations. Move over Traitors, Elis and John are in town. Lightboards firmly switched up, John describes feeling all the emotions whilst on holiday; overwhelm at the studio Freddie Mercury last recorded in, and fear at the hands (pincers) of a massive scorpion in his bedroom. All this, plus we are graced by the presence of the nation’s favourite wordswoman Susie Dent, who brings a high-stakes game with a surprising outcome. If you’re inspired to contribute to one of Elis’s great discussions, send your thoughts to [email protected] right away.

#580 - Seething Resentment, Lance Legstrong and Director Deputy Director General
2026/10/02
Horrific. Seething. Resentful. No, those aren’t the words which Dave is feeling towards City’s owners today. Rather it’s the state of Elis’s head right now. He’s hungover. Yes he’s been on a bender and is quite delicate. As he handles such a dainty state we’re left to stare down the barrel of a listener idea which gives him such anxiety he’d like to just go work on a farm. However, it could potentially win Best Sponsored Character Assassination at the British Podcast Awards. There’s also niche discussion on David Pannick, we hear why Elis might be bad at anagrams, and did Ryan Giggs have more caps than Ethan Ampadu? Make sure to tune in on Tuesday because Elis’s intro is going to be extra weak. We might even hear 5 Live Away Day Part 9.

#579 - Pad Cymru, Human Alps and A Constant Perma-Rolling Crisis
2026/09/29
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? Send it to [email protected]. Find out about our latest Adventures episode, which is dropping on Friday 2nd October at 11am, HERE!

#578 - Inbetwosses, 8 Great Whites and The Pressures of Seagull Parents
2026/09/25
John’s having a nightmare because of a rapidly approaching admin hill AKA a holiday. He’s forgotten to count his t-shirts (but does it in his mind at the start of the show, don’t worry), and then his phone goes off mid-record. All this plus Dave’s confiscated his custard cream brownie until he starts behaving. Elis on the other hand is buzzing due to an impending trip to Lisbon for the return of his favourite tournament: The Nations League. And he’s had a jazz epiphany. The Rapid Response Unit is fired up to find out how many t-shirts our listeners own, and we discover why John only listens to Metallica on the toilet. As announced in the show, we’re now welcoming emails on ANY topic. So send in whatever you fancy to [email protected]. Plus, the Patreon video experience has been upgraded!

#577 - Laundry Zero, Final Score Yoga and Mmm Meat Toms
2026/09/22
There’s been a quiet revolution in John’s life. In one sense everything has changed. In another sense it’s been a quiet couple of weeks. He’s within touching distance of something that no one thought possible: laundry zero. And continuing the clothes theme, inexplicably there’s a 15 minute debate about what a t-shirt is. We've said it before and we'll say it again: no one else is doing this. Elis describes his perfect yoga situation, John explains why we need failure and Dave has learned to plait. Get involved in the debate that’s switching up the lightboards and let us know how many t-shirts you own by emailing [email protected] right this instance.

#576 - Be Brilliant, Every Negative Face and 6 Music Pension Damage
2026/09/18
Hosting on 6 Music has long been Elis’s back up for if John ever retires at Project 2032. Sadly Dave reveals some news which could cause deep damage to this long term strategy. Some surprises cause more anguish than others. Plus Dave and Elis are officially tired of the titling of the Sir Right Honourable Sir Dr John Robins MBE Esq, and Adrian has too much chard. What on earth is he to do? Know what to do with too much veg? Well send it to [email protected]. And do get yourself on the Patreon, as, despite the remarkably convoluted plug the boys try to do, Dave is keen to stress that it’s dead good and ad free.

#575 - Orc Nation, A Degree in Limbs and Sir Doctor Captain John Robins MP
2026/09/15
Watch out world because there’s a new doctor in town, and he’s got big plans. Yes it’s Dr Robins from now on, and if he’s lucky maybe someone will even chuck an MBE at the end. This feels significant. But who is our esteemed doctor broadcasting with today? We’ll tell ya; a man who can’t keep his defining characteristic within the confines of his own podcast (Elis), and an iguanadon (Dave). All is explained within. Plus, Sam and Ash from Skinwigs pop by to play a music-based Made Up Game that sees Elis and John trapped in a collaborative hell. Do you have any correspondence for our newly minted doctor? Send it to [email protected] forthwith. And that's also where to send your Sartorial Superstitions - the clothes you've kept/worn for far too long for reasons only you really understand.

#574 - It’s Groinal, Club 44-60 and Crying At A Dog Called Bonehead
2026/09/11
Big week for Elis because he’s cried all the liquid out of his body in the cinema. Why? Well it’s obviously because a South American woman named her dog Bonehead. And he’s in a spoilery mood after his big premiere trip. Well as spoilery as you can be about a film about a greatest hits tour show anyway. To bring him back down to earth Elis does have his dirty / clean laundry aired on the biggest comedy show on TV. Dave thinks we’ve got a big exclusive from it which is really stretching the threadbare definition of the term. We also receive quite an authoritarian email and hear of the hellscape of being a club rep in the noughties. Have you got any sartorial superstitions? If so, record us a voice note and send it over to [email protected] for our Rapid Response Unit. For lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.

#573 - Denim Condoms and Prunes: A Strange Episode
2026/09/08
Remember where you are when you listen to today’s episode, because it’s one for the history books. It’s earth-shattering. It’s a leap forward in what’s possible in broadcasting. It’s one small step for man, one giant leap for podcast-kind.  Because Elis James is about to eat a prune for the very first time in his life. We’ve got the tension music ready. This feels significant. This is historeh.  But the innovation doesn’t stop there, as John reimagines PMQs and puts forward his plans for a brighter, better Britain.  There’s a Cymru Connection bombshell, Elis gets trapped in resin, and John becomes a crossfit ghost.

#572 - My Multiple Men, Common Sense Express and In Association with Prunes
2026/09/04
John’s hammering away at the word count of his opinionated column again. This time in his crosshairs it’s e-scooters. Politically he’s a hard person to work out. Which from a balance perspective is actually very helpful. There's also reports from Pembrokeshire, and we hear from a character who has piqued the boys' interest lately. Plus, when there’s news of (yet more) boundary breaking content to be fed into the digestive tract of the British audio industry, sometimes you just need it to sit in the stomach for a few days to build suspense. Because Elis James, will, for the first time will [REDACTED FOR SPOILERS]. You don’t want to miss it. Want to get in touch? Once described as post on laxatives. It’s email. And our address is [email protected] And here's links to the latest exclusive Patreon bits, so go get on those! New Adventures episode! featuring raw sex appeal. Pottery competition!

#571 - She Shy, Crumpets for the Boys and What of the Chickens?
2026/09/01
It’s Lou Sanders FM once again and boy has she got Producer Dave sweating. From a pretty much unusable show introduction, to an anecdote that definitely flirts with the term ‘radio friendly’, one can only assume that Dave is dreaming of Elis’s swift return... But for now it’s Big Mummy and her Fact Factory, as Lou dishes up some tasty truths in the form of surprise facts about chickens and hiccups. One thing everyone can agree on: it’s a different show when Lou’s in town. John has finally met his match in dessert form, there’s a brief encounter with the paranormal, and a Made Up Game rule sends shockwaves through the team. Do you have a fact to submit to Big Mummy’s Fact Factory? Send it to [email protected] right away.

#570 - Radio Husbands, Everything’s Magnolia and The Wetter The Better
2026/08/28
Lou is here! And she’s already made one friend and one enemy on the way in. Buckle up, in the first few minutes there are bad Welsh accents (sorry Elis) and promiscuous tales flying round the studio. Safe to say Dave is wishing he was still on holiday… Speaking of, John’s been on his holidays and even swam in the sea, twice. Get in the sea, change your state - Lou’s always said it. The colder the better. The wetter the better. Turns out, you can’t worry when you’re looking for little fish. Elsewhere, Lou is taking a stand in our all-new, all-precarious and all-very-delicately-dealt-with feature: Lou Sues Again. Plus, we’ve fired up the ol’ Rapid Response Unit to hear directly from you the people about some of your longest relationships. Do you own a fire truck in Thanet and have your own private well?

#569 - Elis’s Nads, The London Custard Co. and 100 Cymru Connections
2026/08/25
The tensest feature in global podcasting turns 100 today. That’s right, Elis James attempts his 100th Cymru Connection. This. Feels. Significant. His heart feels hot but his bum feels cold. Luckily his nads feel just right. He keeps repeating ‘Ruthin’ over and over again and his core temperature resembles that of an ill person. Can he reach the magic 50%? For the 100th time, let’s see. In other news there’s a new producer in town, as the brilliant Ruth Husko takes her place in the hotseat in a bid to tame the unproducables. We learn how Ruth played a vital role in hunkifying John’s book, and she chairs a Made Up Game that leads to one contestant experiencing a near death experience (it’s a word-based game, so we’ll let you decided who it might be…). All this, plus Mick Hucknall enters the scene in a brand new chapter of ‘Contact’. You can enter the Elis and John scene right now by emailing [email protected].
