Episode 6
The Cafetiere Challenge, Standing Up To Idiots, A Southern Tinker and much more
Show broadcast on 23 March 2014
You know the drill, more hilarity from our favourite duo. This week Elis and John took on the nation's troublemakers and encouraged us all to stand up to idiots, including the heckler John endured who had some choice words for our loveable southern comedian. Elis recounts a quite incredible commute to the studio, and there's the usual Sacred Cow - this week The Who were called into question - and a heated battle of Winner Plays On. Everything was eclipsed, however, by The Cafetiere Challenge. Making coffee, live on the radio. It's gold.
John's introduction of Elis
"On my left is Mr Elis James, Crickhowell's leading inspirational speaker."
