Episode 220
Toenails, Naked Abyss & John's Pips
Show broadcast on 19 May 2018
Why start a broadcast in a good mood? John Robins doesn't always, but it usually only takes a sandwich, some crisps, a coffee and some A-Grade badinage to get him out of his funk. Some lovely shame, legendary emails, a word from Jon Richardson and a shared beverage from Dan Gasser.
John's introduction of Elis
"To my left, a man starring in Channel 5's new reality show 'Pep On My Step'. Each week, he will open his door to find a different member of Red Hot Chilli Peppers outside his home. He must entertain each member for 24 hours and very time he picks an activity they enjoy, £100 will go to the charity of his choice. Episode 1 sees him take Chad Smith to Cheddar Gorge before scoring well on a trip to experience Bridgewater Nightlife. "
