The Elis James and John Robins on Radio X Podcast, Elis James and John Robins on BBC 5 Live podcast
The Elis James and John Robins show is a weekly radio show presented by British comedians Elis James and John Robins. Formerly broadcast on commercial radio station Radio X, the show aired on BBC Radio 5 Live on Friday afternoons until the end of 2023. The show was also released as a weekly podcast from BBC Sounds with a specially-recorded intro. From 6 February 2024, the show changed formats to two weekly podcasts, with a one-hour highlights broadcast on 5 Live on Friday afternoons - a change nicknamed "The Great Reset".[1]
Robins has described the show as "a commercial indie radio show that has got wildly out of hand".[2]
