Summary

‘Smorgasbord’ is a word frequently deployed to describe the Elis and John podcast. A buffet-style meal of Swedish origin which is typically celebratory with guests also to help themselves from a range of dishes laid out for their choice.

And though there’s not a Swede in sight, there is a veritable buffet of delectable content on today’s show to pick through on the table.

A chilled open sandwich of teenage Shame here, an anecdote delicacy to cut through the weight there. Pass the hors d’oeuvres bums across the table and a helping of inventive songwriting suggestions to top that.

Do you want to get in touch with the show? Is *all* correspondence read? The answer to both of those Qs is ‘yes’. So send it all to [email protected] or on Whatsapp 07974 293 022. (Save the number in your contacts and message the show whenever wherever).
