There you have it. 5 years, 264 shows (proper), many laughs, some tears and an almost unacceptable quantity of shame. The lads bid farewell to Radio X in fine fashion. Expect montages, familiar voices and the cynical inclusion of emotional heft. Thank you to all PCD's, casual listeners and contributors great and small. Live your best life, keep it Radio X and most importantly of all: Keep it session. Lovely stuff.

How do you get through a three hour show on barely any sleep? Well if you’re Elis you have four coffees before 1pm. Spoiler alert, it all gets a bit silly. An informative show this week, with the guys getting to the bottom of what really is ‘cool’ and clearing up any misconceptions of what to expect from a breastfeeding café (no paninis?!)

Elis loves his children. John shouts “revealeth” at pubs. What a pair of legends. For those of you concerned that The Light-Hearted Paper Review has never featured a “central heating special” – consider your prayers answered.

The Band is back together. Elis has returned with news of what he’s been up to, mainly being a father (again). John’s had an issue with his iPhone. We all must bear our own cross. 2 exciting competitions, one to win tech prizes and one to name Elis' son. We also ask the question, what do you do with a surfeit of breastmilk?

In 255 episodes, have you heard John Robins do an impression of a Dalek? The wait is over. Tim Key played another blinder as he deputised for Elis.

Following some big news from Elis, a super-sub wonder kid was required to step in. Enter: Tim Key. Who knows, some of you might even recognise his voice from LONG ago?? It was a brilliant show as Robins threw open the Weirdness Amnesty once again and Tim went to Rymans. As well as all this, there was a welcome return for a Classic Made Up Game, a sporadic Potato Potato, an unconscious Shame Well and an impromptu Birthday Game!

It was a rather bumsentric show today but don’t let that deter you! It’s full to the brim with John and Elis classics. Clarkson declares war on modern day music and Catfish & the Bottom-men in the paper review, friendships are ruined in the Shamewell and the guys take on another of your made up games.

John can’t stop making soup…. It was a very ratty Robins today, but at least he’s not had any nicotine this year. Why on earth did Elis choose this week to argue with him about Queen??? Still, a smashing show full of gut-wrenching Humblebrags, a stomach-churning Shame Well and an absolute hammer of a Made Up Game!

If Elis says he was working, then he was working ok? Also, if John wants to challenge a listener on whether or not they’re breaking the law; that’s fine too. It was a banger of a show this week, full of festive silliness and anticipation for the big 250! There was a dash of shame, a measure of Humblebrags and a tidy portion of the Paper Review too!

John’s going to be shameful, Elis is going to be sexy. These are facts and they are constant. This week, the lads explored “Sportz Chat” and compared puberty cakes.

A slightly different vibe to the podcast this week as heroic, brave, valiant John ‘Courage’ Robins battled through a mild cold to broadcast to the nation – aided and abetted by his friend/surrogate son Eis. The boys asked for your tales of overcoming relationship obstacles, Ticked Off a variety of Tastes, learnt about chips, and outlined the pros and cons of a 17 degree temperature.

One thing should be noted about Elis James and John Robins, they don't forget where they came from.

As far as Elis James is concerned – all knives and forks are the same. Why argue? On the cusp of heading out on the Holy Vible road, Elis & John put in a cracking performance this week. You can expect slightly more Queen than usual, a Welsh discussion about mince or mints, a sour (angry) taste and a bit of unwanted wee.
