Hello and

the midpoint. I'm in the studio today to catch up with comedian, actor and

broadcaster Extraordinary Ellis James. I say this because not only does he present multiple

much-loved podcasts but he's done so in two languages English and Welsh.

Not sure how many of my previous guests can boast that, But I don't think boasting is in his nature

because it's Ellis's relatability and down-to-earth chat on Five Live with his good

pal and fellow comedian John Robbins that has not only won them awards most recently radio

moment of the year at the Arias but also a very loyal fan base. No subject is off the

table and they broadcast twice weekly now as well as presenting

How Do You Cope a podcast which I've had the pleasure of being a guest on.

When I met Ellis then I knew I had to get him on the midpoint.

I'm keen to hear how midlife is shaping up for him, juggling

broadcasting tours, being funny in two languages, raising a young family and

following his beloved Swansea City. So here he is.

Welcome to the midpoint. Hello. It's good to have you here.

Absolutely gutted, I'm eligible.

That was your response when I first asked.

So disappointed.

In fact, I think it was the reverse.

You said to me once, I know what you're going to say,

come on the midpoint because you know how old I am.

But I'm too young and relevant.
