Elis James and John Robins

It’s a very prison-based episode today, as John reveals he might be going there for petty crime, and Elis draws parallels between Albert Camus’s prison-residing outsider Meursault and Johnny JR. Was Camus foreshadowing the life of our favourite Bristol-born broadcaster?

But don’t worry, it’s not all highbrow existentialism. John discovers another self-penned story on his hard drive that involves farts (but crucially, is not ABOUT farts).

Also expect answers to the questions: Can you Cymru Connect over a horse? Can you take your odd socks to a raffle? And is the sky really a neighbourhood?

Robins has had a disaster. The sort of disaster that should only besiege Elis James. But what could it be? Tardiness? Something indicative of cognitive decline? Or maybe far worse?

We also receive some very weak vindication for Elis after the mockery he received for his book openings, and we ask, would a 20 year old with a heavy goods vehicle licence be permitted to drive The Sportage?

Well, well, well, well, well. Elis has officially completed the best gig of his life, and that’s even without his routine about Black Bart the pirate. A mere five and a half hours away by train, we have discovered his emotional hinterland: the Eisteddfod in Pembrokeshire.

But away from the crowds, the choirs and the clog dancers, away from the druids and the dairy farmers, can our Welsh Hero handle the pressure back in the studio and Cymru Connect away from the motherland?

Plus, is Dave the captain of a sinking ship? John seems convinced, after a surprise reading of The Ballad of ‘Reading Jil’. But move over, Oscar Wilde. We have some literary legends of our own as we play a Made Up Game for the ages. Let’s just say you’ll be seeing The Adventures of Flogworth and Blimp on the shelves very soon...probably.

The literary world has been set alight after a new best selling author was unveiled 30 years too late the other day. Is John Robins about to redefine the grounded motoring sci-fi genre for the 21st century? The first step is getting pointers from someone who’d consider 'thousands' of book sales to be small fry.

Elsewhere, Elis is being consistently told how hot and sexy he is by the British population. Well Welsh Elis that is. John also gets corrected on the purpose of high speed rail, Adrian tells us about his superb clutch control and a Mad Dad puts a keyboard in the oven. It’s a bumper one.

Got anything else to pump up Elis’s ego? Well get it right over to hello@elisandjohn.com

Elis may have been struggling with delayed trains, but fear not - it turns out our Producer Dave has a hotline to the Big Dog himself: Bandy Urnham. Nothing a quick phone call can’t fix…

Plus, if you thought John's now-legendary Bag of Death was but a distant memory, think again, as the boys uncover the beginnings of a creative endeavour that our Thornbury wordsmith began at the age of just 13. And lo, we enter the era of the Password Protected Bag of Digital Death.

But enough of passwords, protection and privacy. Elis is still on a mission to connect with his fellow Welsh folk in a tense edition of the Cymru Connection.

Plus, we welcome a brand new feature - highlighted in pea green on Dave's big list of new ideas, no less - The Rapid Response Unit.
