Podcasts about producer dave

There's something drifting in on the air today. A funk. Criminality. Yes it seems to be bifta o'clock as John spots a doob roller on the tube. That, and it being the relaxfest which is Glastonbury, combine to see the hazy funk of ‘da ‘erb' and its ensuing uncoolness discussed at length. Because simply put this is not how Britain will build back better.Elsewhere, Elis comes in today on a high. A cycling high. And that high isn't from anything which Lance Armstrong might have partaken in. It's just the high of exercise, good vibes and raising money for charity. A figure that was primarily boosted by John. Humble, giving John. Why? Because that's just who he is.There's also a Made Up Game which appeals to Producer Dave's topical content nose, a classic Mad Dad and the expectation of Elis knowing William Hague's wife.If you want to get in touch then elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk is the means, as is 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp.

David Donnelly's philosophy is that success is built on strong, mutually beneficial relationships. That attitude's going to get him into trouble while hanging with Glenn, Craig and Producer Dave. Tune in and find out

Huge news in Elis and John towers today, for Producer Dave bumped into the man, the myth, the Solero supper himself, Mr Tim Davie.

Today on the show Colin, Producer Dave, and Outdoor Industry Insider Eoin Comerford have some innovative suggestions for the outdoor industry.Innovation in the outdoors is a misunderstood word. It's often only applied to the performance of the apparel, gear, and footwear that the industry produces.

Today on The Rock Fight Colin is joined by Rock Fight Consigliere Eoin Comerford and Producer Dave to discuss several news stories that paint a picture about the long term health of the outdoor industry. First they look at the recent earnings report by Newell (parent company of Marmot, Coleman, and Ex Officio, among others) which shows how the outdoor industry may be on the same path that was recently traveled by the surf industry. Eoin recaps how many iconic surf brands ended up being owned by Authentic Brands and how that past may serve as a cautionary tale for outdoor brands facing similar challenges. (02:55)Next they talk about a recent report that Dick's Sporting Goods is quietly leaving outdoor behind as it closes most of their remaining Public Land and Moosejaw locations. They talk about how this move will impact the outdoor retail landscape. (18:29)Then they dig into event news including the report that Europe's biggest summer show, OutDoor, is going on "hiatus" as well as the announcement of Outdoor Retailer's Industry Day. (29:15)Lastly it's a combined Parting Shot as the hosts weigh in on the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable's endorsement of Trump Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum, as well as the organizations who co-signed that endorsement including the OIA, People For Bikes, and REI. They look at what missteps may have been made and what the focus should be going forward.

Love is in the air and it's really setting Producer Dave's pulse racing. And not just because he's madly in love himself. Rather it's because Elis and John are leaning into topical content in a natural fashion without prompting. Something to get any commercial radio producer excitable.For yes, it's Valentine's Day. Romance is making the studio a thick humid erotic soup. Elis will send Isy a text saying “well done”. And John's Love Heart that says “new love” on it has broken in half; a sign that pagans would have interpreted as coming crop failure.But John is in love. In love with a new beau... the Top Shows Podcast Chart. He's also had the greatest match with a woman of all time… his mortgage broker. In less romantic affairs we ask “could you wake a baby for £25,000?” and there's a clash of two ingredients that were just made for each other: Mad Dads and sat navs.Contact us right now you sexy lovers on elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk and 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp if you're more of a direct message sort of person.

You would think Elis and Producer Dave would be offering praise to the mood gods, for Johnny JR is in a good one, having interviewed his favourite musician of all time for a project he cannot comment on. May - check. Oldham - check. McCombes - check (but didn't engage). Yet the fly in the ointment: with such big energy, John's sackings flow forth like a wave.Equally such vim it also means there's the vigour to go in two footed on shoes. Who could expect that?Elsewhere, we're on other fertile ground covering topics such as tying your shoe laces. It's all good stuff crowned off with a proper meat and drink Mad Dad.Got stuff to put forward to the CEO and his employees? Then it's elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk on electronic mail or 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp.

Mark Irgang is the Opening General Manager of the Marriott New York JFK and has known Glenn for some time. He's also the newly elexted President of SKAL USA. Yet, somehow he still wants to have drinks and swap industry war stories with Glenn, Craig, Producer Dave and maybe even Dr.Producer Suzanne! Plus, Glenn gets hited as the new coach of the Dallas Cowboys?!

With Speakergate gone (we hope) in the blink of a manually adjustable eye it's time for John to turn to one of his other favourite pastimes: cheekiness. Trying to get plugs past Producer Dave without him noticing, by increasingly layered and convoluted means? Count that checked and duly intervened on. Campaigning for the return of erotic movies? Tick, oh he's a cheeky scamp that one. And that saucy subject is one he seems to know more about than he perhaps should.In other goings on there's a logically watertight game which causes the usual ructions from the usual parties, and despite the lack of 35 minutes on sound systems there is a brutal time consuming neg from a listener that really derails the vibe.If you'd like to trash Elis and John as well then it's elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp.

“Mmmh yeah Christmastime.” In a linear sense it's Christmas Day. In a circular sense it's some time between 13th and 25th December. Ho! Ho! Ho!What better way to celebrate the birth of Jesus than Elis and John's Christmas Cracker? Oh and we have festive fun. Elis and John write a Christmas song which is equal parts downbeat and administration heavy, whilst it's the most madderful time of the year for fathers.We've also got a very secret guest that Producer Dave reveals within the first 15 minutes and there's a festive advert to rival Jean Louis that becomes far more affecting than the initially comedic idea. Whether your listening in a linear (25/12), circular (13/12 to 13/12) or any point afterwards, Merry Christmas!If you've got anything to send to the Elis and John North Pole then send it to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk, or 07974 293 022 via Christmastime's preferred method of modern communication (WhatsApp).
