Summary

Automaton Elis was worried by both the idea of losing the capacity to feel any emotions and his newfound ability to make plans this week, but don’t worry – he’s settled for being mediocre. John meanwhile found a way to add a bit of spice to the kitchen, before eulogizing about Force Majeure – all this plus the boys enthused about Dave’s sunny personality. There’s the regular stuff too – Humble Brag Of The Week, Email Of The Species and Winner Plays On. Remember, you can get in touch on Saturday@radiox.co.uk (if you’re on e-mail. You’ve got to be on e-mail), and you can tune in across the UK every Saturday from 1pm til 4pm! Keep it session. Keep it Radio X.
