Podcasts about Elis

Today's podcast is brought to you by a couple of big cheeses, a couple of real movers and shakers in the audio game. Because Elis and John have redefined what it means to give a keynote presentation at a podcast industry event.Elis will be pushing back on whatever you say, and John won't be wearing no lanyard for no one; he's the Lou Reed of the podcast-first-radio-second generation.But what of Producer Dave? Well he's been banned from doing any DIY (read: superglueing things to walls) by his wife, so that's freed up a lot of his time.Elsewhere there's some intense Cymru Connecting, and a controversial crisp-based Made Up Game involving everyone's favourite owner of a bell tower.Got an important message to send Canope Fibbs, the CEO of Rubadubdub Productions?

A few weeks ago Elis refused to accept the Buddhist idiom ‘the glass is already broken'. In so doing, did he set back mindfulness 10,000 billion years, or did he inadvertently birth a great podcast-first feature? We're hoping it's the latter; welcome to Common Zense.And top-tier podcasting doesn't stop there, because Elis and John have also gone and created the Golden Texter, the Eagle Topic. Commercial digital indie radio, here we come (again).Elsewhere, Elis wants to nationalise headphones, John dissects his love of cowboys, and there's another cracking TV treatment for the Cymru Connection.To send in your mindful idioms for Elis to trash, email hello@elisandjohn.com.And get yourself ready for our next Adventure, The Boys Go Birdwatching, here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/adventure-3-boys-158953760/For lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.For weekly visual highlights, head to youtube.com/@elisandjohn.For everything else, head to elisandjohn.com.The Elis James and John Robins Show is a Significant Production.

It's a show that asks more questions than it answers. For starters, could Elis and John host Strictly? How are the boys related to classic board game Guess Who? And can you spell catastrophe without top rate cash?These amuse-bouches are followed up with meatier questions: why was John interviewed at a law firm? Why has Elis been under London's strongest thumbs? And why is Dave telling a man called Ed that he's ready to take his trousers off?Most of these are answered, plus find out what John had erroneously left unchopped for 15 years, and Elis takes us down a whole new route in the nation's favourite 60-second Welsh-based acquaintances game, The Cymru Connection.To save Producer Michael's job, send in some nice messages about his great production work to hello@elisandjohn.com.For lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.For weekly visual highlights, head to youtube.com/@elisandjohn.For everything else, head to elisandjohn.com.The Elis James and John Robins Show is a Significant Production.

Elisângela reconstruiu a vida depois do divórcio ao lado de Rafael e encontrou na fé um novo propósito para continuar. Juntos, eles enfrentaram a dor de duas perdas gestacionais, momentos que abalaram profundamente a família e fizeram os dois questionarem até a própria esperança. Quando já estavam cansados de sofrer, uma profecia trouxe de volta a fé de que eles ainda teriam uma filha chamada Rebeca. Algum tempo depois, Elisângela descobriu uma nova gravidez, marcada por medo, oração e muitos desafios, incluindo uma gestação de risco e uma internação delicada. Com apenas 33 semanas, Rebeca nasceu pequena e precisou ficar na UTI, mas se tornou a maior prova de que eles não desistiram da fé mesmo depois da dor. Hoje, Elisângela olha para a filha como o maior testemunho de que Deus esteve presente em cada detalhe da caminhada deles.

Had the opportunity to sit down with a #powercouple in Arias Organization. Andrea & Elis first made names for themselves here as top producers & are now leading a killer sales force.

“Life's too short to drink bad wine, when people are wine, and drinking is being near them and having them in your life.” Another wise and pithy quote from the mind of John Robins. You'd think that's included in his wise and pithy autobiography about alcohol. In fact it's not, because he gives them out for free here. Gratis.Speaking of all the relevant pith, John's a bestseller! Isn't that neat. No. 2 General Hardback. And No. 1 if you include a vast variety of audio platforms which Big Bird Book won't care to mention.Elsewhere, Dave's brought a present, a listener has been radicalised against Elis and there are yet more sackings in John's crosshairs.Plus, for the RSS & Patreon lot amongst you, you have been ringfenced! And in said ringfence the boys demonstrate their expertise of doing yet another incredibly easy to understand plug.And do remember, t-shirts can be given to people for different reasons.hello@elisandjohn.com if you work in the Treasury and have jargon to send us.For lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.For weekly visual highlights, head to youtube.com/@elisandjohn.For everything else, head to elisandjohn.com.The Elis James and John Robins Show is a Significant Production.

We're living in a Johnapalooza. With the release of his Blubography (trademark: Elis James) last week, John's been touring the country. But do any of his shows bear resemblance to the hallowed 1976 Sex Pistols gig at the Lesser Free Trade Hall? Elis and Dave do their best to draw parallels. Away from book and tour shenanigans, Elis threatens to swear enough to make the show unusable in a bid to halt a guessing game, John imagines how he'd brush his hair if he were an 'odd king', and there's a controversial Made Up Game (featuring a new all-time classic jingle) that includes not one, not two, but three name changes. And remember folks, not everything's Istanbul.

It's John Robins day. John Robins Contentaggedon. You simply can't move for Robins. Because John sits at the crest of a content wave. Megatisation, another podcast series, marathon, birthday, millions of interviews and book release have all come as a quick flurry of jabs to the midriff. But is he all tuckered out? Is it all too much? Clearly not because he's got another mad mind game on the go that only Robins could formulate. He's back. He's back in the big time. He won 9 grand yesterday.But it's not all about John, even though today kind of is. Elis is having to accept that The Swans may not trump swans for his son. "Away trip son?" “Well it just feels like a waste of a day.”Plus, who have you chapinhanded? Let us know via hello@elisandjohn.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It's a tale of two anecdotes today, and in a way both of them fall into the latter category. Elis has been donning his corporate hat on no sleep and nearly no thumb, while John has been encountering some very public acts of love.With the dust finally settled on all things marathon, we're back to regular programming: a Cymru Connection that's literally staring Elis in the face, and a Made Up Game that leaves everyone giggling like school children.Have you ever encountered public love-making? Did you nearly chop off your thumb then swear at a room full of insurers?

Elis Taylor taught from Acts 15 and gave some external and internal principles we need to move through conflict in our lives.

They did it! The marathon has been conquered by the bravest and youngest boys around, Messrs John Robins and Dave Masterman. And due to the circular nature of this show's recording schedule, just 5 days later we can finally bask in the glory of their amazing achievements! So strap in for a marathon debrief like no other, including a squat competition (which is the real quiz) that has disastrous results for one competitor, and an abandoned dusk run in Farringdon as a result of said squat competition. Elis also reveals whether he'll be entering the ballot for next year. All this, plus the joys of solo restauranting, a debate about whether the phrases ‘French Rugby League' and ‘very interesting' are good bedfellows, and some Radio 4 listeners describe the show in a less than glowing way.

It's T-2 until Marathon Day. The trainers are being laced. The talc is being applied. And the Ass Magic is getting to work. This is the pre-game build up. That half an hour where Carragher and Neville talk about a variety of hypotheticals.Do you find the marathon talk boring? Well it's what we're doing, so ‘jog on'. But that does mean we're getting very close to the final boss of Running To Win and Hating Yourself.And whisper it quietly, but no matter how he gets on this weekend, the John who used to hate exercise should be very proud of how far he's come.But it's not a marathon, it's a decathlon... of content. Those events include: John crying at a dating show, Elis not getting Buddhism, and eating 6 baked potatoes in 24 hours.Got anything for us?

The BBC has just released a new raft of visualised podcasts - podcasts productions that you can watch as well as listen to. Some are being released on YouTube and some on iPlayer, but all have audio-only versions available on BBC Sounds too. It's part of a strategy to grow listenership beyond the audiences that usually listens to linear radio. But is it where everything is ultimately headed? Andrea Catherwood talks to Jonathan Kanagasooriam, Managing Editor for Podcast Strategy and Video Podcasts at BBC Sounds, about how he's catering for those who like to watch podcasts.And the closure of long wave has been set for the end of this year - we hear an update from the BBC. Finally, we hear from two fans of the longrunning Elis James and John Robins podcast, which has a home on BBC 5 Live. It's been on the airwaves for years, but a recent announcement has indicated that the pod is now moving visualised versions of their recordings behind a paywall on Patreon. Longtime listeners Emma and Chris give their take. Presenter: Andrea Catherwood Producer: Pauline Moore Assistant Producer: Rebecca Guthrie Executive Producer: David PrestA Whistledown Scotland Production for BBC Radio 4

Two towering national figures dominate today's podcast; bloobs and David Attenborough. Bloobs because John has realised he lives in heaven and he backs the Chilterns. Attenborough because John's 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's the new DG who meets John (in a show intro that Elis labels ‘a real case study into the workings of John's mind').Then there's Steve Coogan and his historic aggressive vibing with Robins.And thirdly, and probably most importantly, there's the Cymru Connection. Elis has a new approach to reaching 50%, and all he needs is a complete list of all of Wales's teachers…If you were looking for a means to interact with the show, then look no further than the medium of email.

Huge news. Elis has nearly got into a fight. He nearly lamped a bloke because he confused Llanfairfechan with Penmaenmawr*. Of course he didn't. Rather he was being a stand up citizen protecting this nation's highways. But heroism doesn't pay, because it's also time for the semi-regular spousal Elis James rinse. Isy's been talking about Elis on other platforms, which means great insight for us all. What is he like away from the limelight of one of the UK's most megatised podcasts? Until what time every morning is he in his boxers? Does he really quote football cliches to his wife? Elsewhere, could we record John's therapy sessions for bonus content? Does Adrian Chiles like swimming? And there's massive stuff going down in the Rodders-Winter Universe. *In all fairness they're right next to each other on the A55.Whatever it is you've got send it to hello@elisandjohn.com.For lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.For weekly visual highlights, head to youtube.com/@elisandjohn.For everything else, head to elisandjohn.com.The Elis James and John Robins Show is a Significant Production.

Elis has a hot chest and feels spacey, whilst John's got his thrice a decade hay fever, which is a real problem now he's in full vis. So that's a great start to the second ever Megatisation era episode. Today's a day for big questions, including and not limited to… Are their filthcentric studio sharers the antichrist? Has John nearly completed YouTube? Can he also win an Oscar with his sizzling bath content? Would you queue for a curry house before it opens in the mid afternoon? Do you like prawns? And where's your mate?All questions answered within. And if this is the carbs to fill you up at the start of a great big Elis and John buffet well the high [production] cost protein afterwards can be found over on our new Patreon.

It's a big/normal day! Everything in Elis and John world just got bigger/stayed exactly the same as before! All praise the Brave New World/status quo!John's dressed up in a suit and tie to mark the (non-) occasion, and there's a 100 points on offer to the listener who can decipher John's scripted intro.Beyond everything changing/staying exactly the same, Elis and John try to find the best non-threatening noise to make whilst running to alert non-runners, with some very surprising suggestions. Elis tries to pick himself up after last week's missed shot at glory in the Cymru Connection, plus there's a return to a glorious sub-category of Mad Dads: milk.One thing that definitely has changed is the Elis and John spiritual home: the email hub.

It's a rollercoaster of a show for Elis James. He has the opportunity to rectify recent Welsh footballing disappointment by becoming the only player in Cymru Connection history to connect with 5 people twice. National pride can be restored, as long as Elis opens his eyes and doesn't go down a Cymru cul-de-sac. Come on El, a (potentially imaginary) listener's haircut depends on it!Plus John plays hardball with the One Show, there's a trip down the Shame Well that knocks Elis bandy, and Dave finally reveals what he's known for turning up to parties with… Send in your whats and wares to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk.

“You were hungover thinking about darts.” “You are scum.” “You are a waste that has wasted himself.” “How do you like that John?” “Why don't you just melt in the park you never walked through enough 21 years ago?” “You complete piece of S.”From that exchange you wouldn't think it would be a philosophical episode. However it is. It's deep. It's a privilege, despair, sadness, nostalgia fest. And for once, the despair isn't coming from John. You've got the Bosnians to thank for that. It's also Edin Dzeko's fault as to why Elis is dressed as a man who runs a community farm.Elsewhere Dave gets some coaching off a much speedier runner, John couldn't leave his bed because he had an enjoyable visit to his old university college, and we have a reappraisal of Mellowship Slinky in B major.And finally, do we have a companion podcast to ‘A History of Nudity in a Thousand Beautiful Women with John Robins'? Because, after all, you simply must have two episodes a week these days.Get your Bureau when it's piping hot on Saturday mornings, only on BBC Sounds, and if you want to drop anything down into our digital postal chutes then wang it over to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk.

Elis has come off the back of a midi week but that's not a problem, because the hive mind has another great TV format to which the networks can say “I love it, so I'm going to say ‘no'.” ‘John's Thoughts' arrives much to Elis's confusion, during which John's also come up with an emotion that's more complex than nostalgia. “What is this?” asks the Assistant to a Thought Leader about the feature. We don't quite know yet but it is certainly a great conduit for chin wagging chat. And in all of that we've got a belting Made Up Game which really plays to the boys' experience in indie commercial digital radio.It's elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk if you've got a game that could wet our whistles.

There is nothing new under the sun: it was here, already, long ago. It was here before our time. This much must be said of the ancient skeptics, who put forward perspectival, relativistic, and moral anti-realist arguments during the Hellenistic age. The central figure is Pyrrho of Elis, who is only known through secondary sources, and whose life is surrounded by a number of fascinating anecdotes which speak to an of image life guided by indifference and the pursuit of ataraxia. In this episode, we'll discuss that concepts, as well as ephektos, adiaphoria, and the possibility of viewing skepticism as a power or a practice rather than a doctrine or ideology. We will also discuss the ten skeptical tropes of Pyrrho and the five tropes of Agrippa. Primarily, we will follow the chapter on Pyrrho found in Diogenes Laertius, but I've also included some insights from A.W. Benn's "The Greek Philosophers" and Mary Mills Patrick's book on Sextus Empiricus, as well Sextus Empiricus himself (particularly the chapter on Gorgias).

It's all Hits and Mems today as we imagine two media worlds that John Robins could have inhabited. These being: Bristol local radio (1-4pm) and the manosphere. Traffic, travel and the afternoon countdown to the pub, or grifting? Two forks in the road he could have gone down, but thankfully hasn't. Safe to say his imagination is in fervent overdrive as we also hear of a world where he has $10 million… and won an Oscar. But what of Elis? Well he may have a heart attack. We also receive a right of reply from a disgraced Global Radio employee trying to clear his name, and there's an all time great Mad Dad story of a father in a cultural vacuum. Do you possess anything mildly amusing which could pique our interest? Well elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk is the place to send it. And do get on the blooming Bureau on a Saturday why don't you?

The confidence of one of the great confidence players takes a battering this week. What starts off as some light-hearted fun around the London Marathon (after Johnny JR reveals some exciting news), turns into a head-in-hands moment that curses Elis for the entirety of today's show.How does his misstep affect his Cymru Connecting performance? Will the unassailable points gap in Made Up Games get even more unassailable? It's all to play for.Elsewhere, John's imagined a world that almost leaves him in tears, and there's a TV-worthy MUG that's more tense than this show's compliance meeting with BBC bosses after hearing John's supermarket docu-drama last week…You can contribute to the Elis and John canon by emailing elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk.
