ELIS JAMES - LIVE!

Stand-up comedian and Podcast Polymath Elis James joins Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears in the London Welsh Centre for the first episode in a brand new series of interviews covering cultural phenomena from the 1970s to the present day.

And who better to kick things off than Elis? A stone-cold enthusiast of The Past, we cover his early appearences on Welsh TV, why Carmarthen became the centre of the artistic universe thanks to Jurassic Park and how Welsh football fans kept-up with the latest team news when no-one else really cared.

Despite being the first show released under the new name, it was actually recorded under the old one (listen carefully and you can tell!) - but why not check-out some episodes from our back catalogue relating to topics and people mentioned in the show...

Interviews with Nish Kumar, Steffan Garrero and Isy Suttie are all in the archive plus, if like Elis, you missed out on the Manics at the Millennium Studium, check out the emails section of this episode (July 1979) to discover why you didn't miss all that much!

Tickets for "The Xennial Dome" live at Aberyswyth Comedy Festival on Sunday 6th October are available here. (Yes, it's under the old name, but it's fine, we'll have fun).

ROSIE HOLT

Stand-up comedian and social media star Rosie Holt joins Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears in a sound proof booth just days after the general election had been called to discuss the news and cultural phenomena she remembers (or doesn't remember) from the 1970s to the present day. There's revelations, a deep-dive into a single episode of Live and Kicking and long-standing mysteries solved (but all with the sound on Gareth's laptop turned-off for rights reasons). We also cover the Olympics, the dome, what's it like pretending to be a Tory MP and how many blue jackets she owns - as well as the transferrable skills you can take into comedy from estate agency.

The obituary of Teletext hero Nick Fisher is here (although this one doesn't mention Teletext directly, it was him!)

For more Saturday morning kids TV chat, do make sure to check out our interview with Live and Kicking legends Trevor and Simon, from back in 2021, as they lift-the-lid on Going Live, Live and Kicking and early-90s tours.

Rosie Holt is on X and Instagram and TikTok and her topical podcast NonCensored is back for a brand new series, so check that out. Especially this episode featuring Esyllt Sears.
