Summary

Elis may be the kind of person that constantly has content at the forefront of his mind and body, but even he sometimes has to put other life events first. So in order to enable him to go on holiday to celebrate Isy’s birthday, this week's show was specially pre-recorded at 8.30pm on a Monday evening (ironically interrupting Producer Dave’s holiday in Portugal). Poet and comedian extraordinaire Rob Auton pops round John’s Edinburgh flat to perform some specially curated poetry and chat about his latest show, Elis eats some almonds, Producer Dave puts his swimming pool to good use in a very special Made Up Game and John gets excited about some interesting British place names.

Oh hello dear listener, dear listeners, dear listenees, dear listenists, it is I, John Robbins here

0:13.0

and I'm here to introduce this week's L.S. James John Robbins Show Podcast. You may be able to

0:19.0

distinguish Rumi Tone's Reverb, the sound of solid bear walls. I have not been imprisoned for

0:32.4

grievous bodily talent. No, I am in Edinburgh and the podcast you're about to hear is from a show

0:41.8

with the difference. It's a sort of a content masterpiece really. It's certainly a lot of technical

0:50.8

wizardry's gone on in bring it to you. I was stationed in my regional content hub up in Edinburgh.

0:58.8

Dave was stationed in his European content hub on the balcony of his parents' apartment in Portugal

1:08.0

and Ellis was stationed in his living room which does infernist to Ellis also double as a content

1:15.1

hub. So you've got three content hubs. We then had producer Matt pressing all the buttons,

1:21.2

fiddling with all the wires. In his content hub I believe in Manchester. So this really was

1:27.6

the live aid of podcasting as such as with live aid itself. It's not free from techno glitches.

1:34.5

Dave for a while just sounded like he was much more hammered than he was and he was actually a

1:39.5

little bit hammered but not unprofessionally so. He was relaxed. He was enjoying the Portuguese

1:45.0

sun and relaxing after a day of childcare. So anyway that's the vibe really. I continue to strive

1:56.5

for content perfection up in Edinburgh whether it's content now in my kitchen, whether it's

2:02.3

lounge based content, whether it is at the show I'm doing every night which I'm going to turn into a

2:08.9

tour. So if you'd like to come to the tour that will be next year in the autumn. Do sign up

2:15.8

to my mailing list at johnrobbins.com where you can also find out about Ellis and John based ventures.

2:22.8

So I'm not going to read the emails. I need Ellis's take because he represents the person on the

2:28.4

street. I need Dave's sort of steady hand on the tiller because we're eye to fully unleash my views

2:36.6

on the emails. We'd be looking at having to move to I don't know something like GB news.
