#547 - Pressure is a Privilege
6/9/20261 hr 14 min
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 Ghandi’s biography out loud to a youth on a train.
Are you feeling surprised? Let us know how much by emailing hello@elisandjohn.com.

Another week, another audio industry thought seminar led by Ellis & John. [laughs] We're in high demand for our unique insights gathered from 12 years of digital broadcasting. Be it how to come up with new and engaging formats, or the CCTV blind spots where you can vape in the BBC. [laughs] Or how to advertise Fuse Energy without sounding like you're grieving. [laughs] [laughs] After blowing the minds of industry movers and shakers at South By in Shoreditch- [laughs] ... it was up to Britain's content capital, Manchester, for a meet and greet organized by Clotted Panda. [laughs] But there's one thing you can't replicate through vertical integration or dynamic placement, good old-fashioned face-to-face.
