Production… It's an Audio Always thing. Bringing the hottest goss in town… It's an Elis and John thing. Having to tame radio's most uncontrollable duo whilst broadcasting live to the nation, meaning you have to rely on hand gestures to show your annoyance… It's a Producer Dave thing. Yes, it's time for your weekly care package of #content from the guys; and it's safe to say that today's show was one of the giddiest we've had for a long time. There was a MASSIVE Tax Year Calendar update, John stressed about going to a fancy dress party (with a very ambiguous theme), Elis shared that he was the victim of a prank, and a listener finally asked the question we've all been wanting an answer for: “What does Producer Dave actually do?”.

New Year, new you… but same old badinage from Elis James and John Robins, radio's most lovable lummoxes. And though we hope that you all had some peaceful time off, the festive break wasn't a period of relaxation for the guys: Elis decided to write a critical analysis on every episode of the show from over the past year, and John came up with no less than 85 new show ideas… all of which have been added to the “ACTION THIS SECOND” folder in the Audio Always office. The guys heard about some of the visual highlights of the M40, argued about whether a former Prime Minister or former Big Breakfast host would make a better stand-in radio presenter, and there was a Champions League level Shame Well. What a way to start the year!
