Bonus episode list
Here's the best #content from the bonus podcast episodes, those times that Elis and John sat in for other presenters to cover their shows on Xfm / Radio X. A few of the bonus episodes were simply compilations of highlights from the regular show, so haven't been included here as the individual episodes are all covered in the main episode list. The bonus episodes weren't numbered, but have been given a 'B' (for bonus!) number here.
