Episode 255 – Side However, The Scribe & On The Westway

In 255 episodes, have you heard John Robins do an impression of a Dalek? The wait is over. Tim Key played another blinder as he deputised for Elis.

Episode 254 – Bran Mulch, Freebie Skiibie & I Suppose I Went To Rymans

Following some big news from Elis, a super-sub wonder kid was required to step in. Enter: Tim Key. Who knows, some of you might even recognise his voice from LONG ago?? It was a brilliant show as Robins threw open the Weirdness Amnesty once again and Tim went to Rymans. As well as all this, there was a welcome return for a Classic Made Up Game, a sporadic Potato Potato, an unconscious Shame Well and an impromptu Birthday Game!

Episode 253 - #BumLike, Wee Free Memories & What Would The Potato People Think?

Episode 252 – Riffing With Impunity, iPhones In India & 5 Litres of Soup

John can’t stop making soup…. It was a very ratty Robins today, but at least he’s not had any nicotine this year. Why on earth did Elis choose this week to argue with him about Queen??? Still, a smashing show full of gut-wrenching Humblebrags, a stomach-churning Shame Well and an absolute hammer of a Made Up Game!
