Summary

It’s a giddy John we encounter today, for our hero is about to embark on his yearly golfing pilgrimage to Elis’s beloved Portugal. Talk of unspeakably high win rates and historic opportunities to become “better than Man City at golf” abounds.

Elsewhere, there’s a lengthy discussion about the pros and cons of skipping TV theme music, an eventful outing of John’s favourite feature The Cymru Connection (which leads to a yet another new podcast idea for Mr Audio), and a “billy-bink-bink-bonks” Shame Well entry.

Keep sending us your games, shames, petty objections and Welsh connections. All this to [email protected] or WhatsApp the show on 07974 293 022.

And remember that the best listening experience happens on the greatest audio platform in the biz: BBC Sounds.
