John has had a nice time. So join us on a journey as Britain's most normal man goes on holiday to Scotland. Now, we've been here before, and we can promise that this time it involves far less emotionally intense visits to various Celtic car parks. Elis's return to English language stand up also continues apace. It's going so well that he's going to play a room where the average age is about 22 and specialises in clowning. How does he play this? We also receive more info on the great Dame Caroline Harriet Haslett. Can you recommend any other types of salmon? If you can, then email elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp in on 07974 293022
It's a definition bumper pack show today as we cram as much goodness as we possibly can into a single podcast episode. Think of us as one of those fruit shots; it's pure podcasting distilled into a single hit.The main ingredient is friend of the show Josh Widdicombe, who pops by to talk all things pop culture. He's adding a new wing to his podcast empire and Elis and John have suggestions. Josh also provides a boots-on-the-ground review of Elis's recent return to standup, and lifts the lid on his lofty ambitions.Widdicombe aside, John returns to a simpler time, a more fruit-game-based time. But he ain't slicing, no no. This time he's merging.And the fun doesn't stop there as Elis attempts to arrest the Cymru Connection slide by asking a caller if they've ever bought baguettes in Cardiff. It's vintage stuff.Send in your thoughts and feelings to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk, or WhatsApp 07974 293 022.

Who's that unrecognisable figure sat across from John!? He looks full of beans, he looks young and vibrant. Why, it's Circuit Elis! And he's so back.After playing the country's most bafflingly playable gig, Elis's mood and confidence are at an all time high. He's perfected his opening gambit, he's got the country's best bullet-pointed set. That is until John bursts his bubble…John on the other hand talks us through his miracle morning that comes complete with its own (and very on brand) acronym. He also describes how he's recently boarded the porridge train, before sending a listener to the sin bin for challenging the autonomy of the UK plug.You know what they say; if you come for Dame Caroline Harriet Haslett DBE's Type G UK plug, you best not miss.Send in your plug eulogies to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp them to 07974 293 022 (preferable using a plugged in appliance).

Today's show is one of peaks and troughs as everyone experiences their ups and downs. John puts forward a very questionable defence against a hypothetical crime, and Elis rails at scoring badly on an intelligence test.On the flip side, the state of John's brain receives numerous plaudits, and Elis tells an Oscar-worthy joke. It's classic light and shade.Elsewhere, Dave takes the team down memory lane by invoking Project Spice, as the boys taste a variety of hot chili sauces that are guaranteed to blow their heads off. Elis attempts to kick-start the Cymru Connection, we learn about JohnTech (‘mainly tech stuff'), and Elis gets blindsided by a historical meeting with a bloke on holiday who kept saying that Sheffield was massive.Emails and WhatsApps to elisandjohn@bb.co.uk and 07974 293022 respectively please.

2026 is a big year for Johnny JR as he sets his sights on winning the London Marathon. And with Dave lacing up his cheating shoes to pound the P of London's streets as well, the team have quezzies.Luckily today's episode features a man who is more than capable of answering said quezzies: friend of the show and running guru Ben Parkes. It's his job to help John hack the London Marathon. Godspeed Ben.But fear not, it's not all running chat. Elis has been on the TV, John is (like Meatloaf) out of hell, and there's a cornucopia of call centre celeb stories to read.Keep your ears peeled for some fine Mad Daddery featuring ancient ONS maps, and the team imagine how John would fare on I'm A Celebrity.Reader of this description, send us an email! The address is elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk and the WhatsApp is 07974 293 022.
Could 2026 be the year that Elis and John change beyond recognition? And we're not talking spiritually or even emotionally; we're talking physically. Because Elis aims to bolster his handsomeness across the calendar year, and John toys with the prospect of going bagless under the old peepers.Cosmetic surgery aside, John has written up a 28 point plan for if he became World King. Luckily he lost confidence in delivering all 28 points, but do watch this space.And we kick off Elis's Annus Connectus by delving back into the nation's favourite pastime: the Cymru Connection. It all ends with Elis asking a random Welsh person whether they know a tech guy from a random theatre who once said he liked the Beatles. Normal Cymru Connecting resumed then.Send in your wonderful correspondence to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp the show on 07974 293 022.

It may be a new year, but it's an old John we find on today's podcast. An attempted new year's resolution meant the odd tear was shed, and now he's in hell. But it's not all bad, because he does have the cleanest crotch in show business thanks to a hand sanitiser mishap.Spirits get lifted by a visit from our in-house statistician, our very own Andy Zaltzman, Statman Ross. He reveals that John's Made Up Game stats are akin to those of Roger Federer, and there's confirmation that Elis can certainly go down as one of the big 4 MUG winners of his generation. An aural heat map is drawn up of Elis's connecting hotspots, and some geographical blind spots present themselves.Elsewhere there are celeb call centre tales, and Dave sheds light on his brief stint as a professional Mario Kart racer.Do you have some correspondence to lift John out of hell? Send them to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp 07974 293 022.
The year 2025 will forever be remembered as the year of Elis and John. It will be remembered for John's wins and losses, for Elis's car antics. It will be remembered for Tim Key's John snub, for Elis cementing the Cymru Connection into the Welsh psyche. It will be remembered for James Acaster's searing takedowns, for Dave's alarm disaster, and for the four words: 'it was oil again'. As Elis and John set sail into the new year, it's time to look back at the wake of good content they've left behind. Expect paint in car footwells, a surprise appearance from Lou and a chaotic Made Up Game for the ages.

Put the wrapping paper down, turn off Home Alone and stop stressing about a glorified Sunday roast… the true meaning of Christmas has finally been revealed to us, and would you believe it, it's Elis and John! Yes, everything in this festive period has been leading up to Elis and John's Christmas Cracker, and boy does it deliver on festive cheer. Because what's more Christmassy than a debate about TVs in hotel rooms, or a 45-year-old man getting lost in pictures of the 1950s footballer Tom Finney, (aka The Preston Plumber)?Unwrapping this podcast with your ears will also reveal a not-so-secret secret Santa, some yuletide Mad Daddery, and a chat with a very busy Mother Christmas. But festive cheer is not the only thing on today's agenda because we're also celebrating 500 episodes of the BBC era! Elis and John relive some moments from their very first show and the ghosts of Christmas Past Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode stop by to play a Made Up Game and chat Christmas flicks. Thanks for all your tip-top correspondence this year, and may 2026 bring even better emails and WhatsApps about oils, guffs and inappropriate school trips. Send everything into elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp 07974 293 022.

John's eaten two helpings of pancakes and we're in a race against time. Can this bantercast cram in enough badinage before one of its hosts succumbs to a sugar crash? It's a question that's been asked many times before, and one that will no doubt be asked again, but it's a critical question nonetheless.Elis has spent the week telling his wife Isy that he ‘must be alone' in order to finish John's book. He successfully wrangled enough solo time to do so and delivers his verdict. It's praise all round, but Dave appears to come out of it badly.Elsewhere it's peak Christmas. Listener gifts are opened, Elis is dreading his drive to Cardiff, and John doesn't want to talk about his Christmas lest the show turn into another mental health podcast.And we end on the question: how do you inject digital oil into a podcast to make it rise to the top? Answers on a postcard.All Elis and John want for Christmas is your correspondence, so send it to: elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk, or WhatsApp the show on 07974 293 022.
You might detect a slight difference in Elis's demeanour this week; a bolstered confidence, an increased self-worth, a man with a purpose. Elis has tasted power, and he ain't looking back. This is the new Elis, Elis 2.0, Elis ‘You'll Do What I Say' James. Because Elis has looked after 4 children on a school trip to The Monument. This feels significant.Meanwhile John thinks we're molly-coddling the next generation and has gone rogue. He's chucking things into the Thames left, right and centre. Step on the wrong side of Robins in this mood and you'll be swimming with the London fishes before you know it. Oh, and he's suffered the consequences of chilli rice…There's also a Cymru Connection which leaves Elis with mixed feelings, a festive Made Up Game classic, and some advice for young would-be stand up comedians.Send in your festive missives, Shames, and Mad Dads to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp the show on 07974 293 022.

Today we ask the question: what would a world without Dave look like? A Daveless world. Imagine a sliding doors moment where a sterner producer was given the reins in 2014. Fast forward to late 2025 and in the studio, almost certainly, Elis would still be eating or have forgotten to come in. John would have vape hot boxed himself into a coma. Do not underestimate his impact.No Dave and no wise words of “Be careful Elis” after one presenter has deployed a “Is that it?!” to John's detailing his once every six months busy day.Around such questioning, John also unveils Craig Bellamy's autobiography (inc. typos) and a senior writer at Rolling Stone gets in touch. Elsewhere, there's news of more Noel Edmonds hysteria, quite significant gunge chat and a dead silly mad dad. Oh what are those dads like!Points of contact: elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk (Electronic mail) 07974 293 022 (WhatsApp)
What does an already packed show need to make it feel complete? That's right, it's an 8 minute intro (or just under a 5th of an Edinburgh show...) and an 8 minute Noel Edmonds apologia. This show is nothing if not disciplined.Once we're all intro'ed and up-to-date on the elements of Edmonds, it's content content content. John does some winning and losing, Elis does some Cymru Connecting, and everyone plays a great Made Up Game that has John declaring God is real.Send in your knick-knacks to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp the show on 07974 293 022.

Oil rises to the top of the content liquid again, primarily because of its lower density. It's hard to remove as we know, so there's a slick across the episode clogging our feathers.So what are your oils? More importantly, what are Adrian's oils? And will John insist on going through all the smoke points of all the oils? Questions that are all answered within.Plus, Elis has got deep into a karaoke hell cubicle, Producer Dave's left his bags at a sex shop and John once again stays in touch with the cultural zeitgeist.“Unless they set cryptic crosswords for The Times, are in Geese or are Brian Eno I don't know who they are.”The Bureau is of course available on Saturday only on the universe-leading BBC Sounds.Got something of note?

With something being filmed just outside the studio we're lucky Elis and John made it in for today's episode. John was very nearly accosted to fill the leading role, and Elis was just about able to peel his eyes away from potential live blunders. Thank goodness for the boys' dedication to #content.Away from the glitz and glamour of a film set, Elis and Dave have both been battling with bed bugs, one with a more incendiary technique than the other...The Cymru Connections is back, a great Made Up Game is played, and there's even some live crosswording.Send in your thoughts, feelings and reflections to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk, or WhatsApp the show on 07974 293 022.

John has had enough of apologies. He wants action and results. Combine that with John being notified about every business expense, and you get a very scared Elis and Dave.But sometimes it's fear that instils results - or more importantly top quality content. This is how Sir Alex would want it.Meanwhile the more be-thighed of the two has had enough of clouds. He doesn't ever want to look down at them again - something which would undoubtedly baffle the forward thinking Victorians.And what oils have you got?

We also learn what their respective approaches to golf can teach us about John (The James Milner of golf) and Tom (The Diego Maradona of golf).Elsewhere there are revelations and tears in the Cymru Connection, and a Made Up Game that tests just how much Elis and John know each other.

Are Elis and John's stars in the ascendant? Are we on the edge of James and Robins becoming household names? Can you imagine John staring down the camera and gleefully shouting ‘Keep Dancing'?These questions and more are explored as Elis and John put forward their cases to be the next presenters of the BBC's flagship entertainment show, Strictly Come Dancing.Elsewhere it's pure Zeitgeist chat (or should we say Zeitgeest thanks to John's recent music obsession), including: train etiquette, the previous nine Prime Ministers as foods, and what the hell does 6 7 mean?Do you want to back project Elis and John on Strictly?

We'd love to hear from you! Reach out to us via this Buzzsprout link to let us know what you're thinking about this episode!Note: Hey, Wayward Friends. This episode (as well as Part 2) references an interview conducted at a fan-run convention panel 5 years ago. During the course of our research for this episode, we discovered that the moderator for that panel, Ada, recently passed away. We wanted to take this moment to send love to all that knew Ada and express gratitude to Ada herself for this iconic panel and all she gave to fandom.Chrisha and Catherine continue their exploration of the 5th anniversary of the "I love you" heard around the world by delving into the much-celebrated Spanish Dub of "Despair." To help them better understand the context in which "Y yo a ti, Cas," happened, they bring on Catherine's friend, Elis. Elis hails from Brazil, where they also have a thriving dubbing industry (in Portuguese, of course!). She shares the cultural context of dubbing in non-English speaking countries―as well as a good portion of her fangirl knowledge about the dubbing process!The three also delve into the history of the moment into which the Spanish Dub was released and the context of the interview with the voice actor, Guillermo Rojas (aka Memo), who spoke the unforgettable line.Part 2 of this episode will look at the interview itself.Credits:Audio of Misha Collins at DarkLight Con 2020: @HasnaaAlaa on YoutubeAudio of the Latin American Spanish dub of "The Truth": @heartsmish on XAudio of Misha Collins discussing the "rogue translator": @mishacollins on XHarleyCon Interview with Guillermo Rojas, Dean Winchester's Latin American voice actor: @egoismht on YouTubeFollow us on Bluesky @thefangirlbiz.bsky.socialJoin our Kofi Discord community at $1/month: https://ko-fi.com/thefangirlbiz/tiersSupport our podcast by buying our new merch: https://www.redbubble.com/people/thefangirlbiz/shopThanks for listening!

Eyelashes are fluttered, beauty tips are garnered, and in a wonderful showing of modern masculinity, four men chat about their hair care routines. And before he can go, Greg's radio credentials are put to the test in a classic Made Up Game from the vault.Swooning fanfares aside, John introduces Elis to the world of slam poetry and a potential new hobby, and the Cymru Connector-in-Chief tries to connect with a caller from Carmarthen.If you have something of value to contribute send it to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk, or WhatsApp 07974 293 022.

She's taken out for one last outing as Elis and John's Road to Nowhere finally reaches its destination. It's also a goodbye to the oft-mentioned and celebrated Tour Manager Giles, who receives his flowers and answers your questions.There's also a rollercoaster of a Made Up Game in which the very visual medium of drawing is brought to life in the very aural medium of podcasting.Think you're confident enough to send us an email?
