Elis James and John Robins

Show Notes

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.”

More from Elis James and John Robins

Oct 20, 2026

Elis has written the most criminally boring novel of all time, totally by accident. Now that’s a skill, and resident money man Johnny JR has spotted a gap in the market and a chance at the big bucks.

Oct 16, 2026

Elis and John lead with the question “what are the biggest non-nuclear manmade explosions in history?” On later reflection this wasn’t something which would have worked in the compressed audio world of commercial radio.

It’s been a week of celebration at E&J towers; Elis has been 12th birthday partying with his daughter (and turned into a master chocolate pourer in the process) and Dave is about to/has just had his big day whilst walking around Harrogate with a bunch of lads. Different ages, different needs.

Oct 9, 2026

It’s a remote affair today and there are camera issues from the off. Elis looks like a billionaire, whilst John (your pixelated man on the street) and Dave look like they’re on a Zoom quiz in lockdown.

Oct 6, 2026

We’re creating water cooler moments here on Elis and John. From 'how many t-shirts do you own', to 'is there a God', via the state of play in the treehouse scene. Not sure how or why we got here, but there’s no doubt about it; we’re shaping the nation’s conversations. Move over Traitors, Elis and John are in town.
