Episode 201
Stranded Robins, Josh Widdicombe & Little Chef Lollies
Show broadcast on 6 January 2018
You can't have escaped that tirade of press coverage... It's the least that can be expected when a man like Robins is stranded stateside and unable to broadcast. Elis soldiered boldly on though, with a stiff upper lip and a determined look in his eye. That was not before enlisting the help of esteemed friend of the show, Josh Widdicombe! Robins still managed to put his two cents in though and (once he was out of bed) joined in the fun from across the pond. A brilliant show with all the Humblebrags, shame and badinage that you'd expect.
Conversations and riffs
John is stranded in New York with three other comedians so Josh Widdicombe stands in with Elis. With the social media attention that the podcast has received as a by-product of the #GetRobinsHome hashtag, they ponder the irony that this might be the biggest audience the show has had so far and if so it would happen without Robins. John joins remotely.
