Episode 224
Bespoke Yoghurt , Khashoggi's Ship & Elis Got It Wrong
Show broadcast on 16 June 2018
Sure, John makes mistakes - we all do! Although, you'd better believe they were catastrophic life mistakes and almost never administrative ones. Elis meets his heroes and then he gets sad and angry. In this weeks podcast there's a King Lear misquote, sandwich shame, the plant of the week and a review of deep-cut Queen lyrics. All this plus the Humblebrags, emails and Prod V's travel anecdotes.
John's introduction of Elis
"To my left, the man behind the latest boom industry to hit North Wales. You've heard of microbreweries, well say hello to the micro-dairy. He's giving people the opportunity to house their very own dairy cow. For as little as £1000 up front and a monthly subscription, a cow can be housed. cowinacupboard.com will install and maintain a single cow in a 2m x 2.5m space, enough to fit in a spare room or a large ensuite bathroom. In a press release, he stated, "No longer will access to unpasteurised milk be the dream of those with acres of land. I'm taking milk to the masses, Freisans to flat shares and udders to the suburbs.""
