#533 - Backing Brittin, Destination Bloob and Dormice! Dormice! Dormice!
Elis James and John RobinsAvailable for over a year
Two towering national figures dominate today鈥檚 podcast; bloobs and David Attenborough. Bloobs because John has realised he lives in heaven and he backs the Chilterns. Attenborough because John鈥檚 been watching his new (filthy) TV show and Elis has been having nightmares about knocking him down the stairs. Three other culturally significant totems also feature: First there鈥檚 the new DG who meets John (in a show intro that Elis labels 鈥榓 real case study into the workings of John鈥檚 mind鈥). Then there鈥檚 Steve Coogan and his historic aggressive vibing with Robins. And thirdly, and probably most importantly, there鈥檚 the Cymru Connection. Elis has a new approach to reaching 50%, and all he needs is a complete list of all of Wales鈥檚 teachers鈥 If you were looking for a means to interact with the show, then look no further than the medium of email.
