Can I Gymru, Crinkly Plate & Big and Large
Show broadcast on 20 May 2017
The podcast that screams down the shame well and tells you that it's ok... 'Sometimes you can swear at fruit.' This week the lads chat launches and legends as John FINALLY got what he's been waiting for. GUESS WHO HAS BEEN ON!? There's also an absolutely cracking bunch of correspondence from the legendary PCD's: They ARE on email. All this plus Beta-Bet, some stinking Humble Brags and a chocolate covered Tick-off-a-Taste!
John's introduction of Elis
"To my left, a man who has campaigned tirelessly for Wales to have their own song for Eurovision. Unfortunately his ditty 'The mountain my father, the coal my son' has fallen on deaf ears."
Conversations and riffs
During the week, Brian May came into the Radio X studios. He was so impressed with John's Queen-based T-shirt that he took several selfies with John! He also recorded a reassuring message for John to listen to during times of doubt in his broadcasting career.
John swearing at old apples bought at his last big shop with his ex-girlfriend, that he kept for four months afterwards. Vin: "Grief apples!". Elis: "Smelly memory fruit?"
