There you have it. 5 years, 264 shows (proper), many laughs, some tears and an almost unacceptable quantity of shame. The lads bid farewell to Radio X in fine fashion. Expect montages, familiar voices and the cynical inclusion of emotional heft. Thank you to all PCD's, casual listeners and contributors great and small. Live your best life, keep it Radio X and most importantly of all: Keep it session. Lovely stuff.

How do you get through a three hour show on barely any sleep? Well if you’re Elis you have four coffees before 1pm. Spoiler alert, it all gets a bit silly.

The Band is back together. Elis has returned with news of what he’s been up to, mainly being a father (again). John’s had an issue with his iPhone. We all must bear our own cross. 2 exciting competitions, one to win tech prizes and one to name Elis' son. We also ask the question, what do you do with a surfeit of breastmilk?

Following some big news from Elis, a super-sub wonder kid was required to step in. Enter: Tim Key. Who knows, some of you might even recognise his voice from LONG ago??

As well as all this, there was a welcome return for a Classic Made Up Game, a sporadic Potato Potato, an unconscious Shame Well and an impromptu Birthday Game!

John can’t stop making soup…. It was a very ratty Robins today, but at least he’s not had any nicotine this year. Why on earth did Elis choose this week to argue with him about Queen???

If Elis says he was working, then he was working ok? Also, if John wants to challenge a listener on whether or not they’re breaking the law; that’s fine too. It was a banger of a show this week, full of festive silliness and anticipation for the big 250! There was a dash of shame, a measure of Humblebrags and a tidy portion of the Paper Review too!
