#581 - Unofficial Bumbags, Anti-Cunning Disease and Susie Dent
Elis James and John RobinsAvailable for over a year
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. Lightboards firmly switched up, John describes feeling all the emotions whilst on holiday; overwhelm at the studio Freddie Mercury last recorded in, and fear at the hands (pincers) of a massive scorpion in his bedroom. All this, plus we are graced by the presence of the nation’s favourite wordswoman Susie Dent, who brings a high-stakes game with a surprising outcome. If you’re inspired to contribute to one of Elis’s great discussions, send your thoughts to hello@elisandjohn.com right away.
