Summary
After spending the last few weeks in the shadows of two of this country’s greatest runners, one podcaster has finally stepped out to make a name for himself.
Elis James, the great Cymru Connector himself, has saddled up and attempted to cycle the great nation he calls home. And somehow, despite raising bucketloads of cash for charity in the process, it’s left him in dire financial straits…
But he’s not the only one out of pocket, as Johnny Warbucks gets a dent in his wallet after a wily listener takes him up on a throwaway line from his book.
Money aside, there’s chat about owl farming, whether the Gallagher brothers recently inherited a trove of rare stamps, and the chance for a familial hat trick in the Cymru Connection.
Get involved in the only way that makes sense: by emailing hello@elisandjohn.com.
