We'll be playing through our original episodes in release order. And this is... The least handsome co-host of Oh What A Time.. Elis James. This episode was first broadcast 16th April 2018. ----- Our guest this week is friend of the show and Welsh football’s favourite non-footballing son, Elis James. In this episode we dive headfirst into his beloved Swansea City A.F.C. in the 90s; The Vetch stadium on its last legs, a disastrous series of owners and managers seemingly determined to destroy the club and a cantankerous mascot hell bent on starting a fight at every opportunity.

In an effort to become podcasting's version of UK Gold, we're spinning it back and replaying the glory days of QK. This is: QK Reloaded. We'll be playing through our original episodes in release order. And this is... Welsh heart-throb and Oh What A Time podcaster Elis James, S01E02. First broadcast on March 6th 2017. -------- Bobby Gould's tenure as Wales manager in the 90s will go down as one of the most bizarre eras in the history of sport. To relive the horror, this week we're joined by Wales' foremost 90s football expert; comedian and actor Elis James. There's also a discussion about 90s management styles and some cracking feedback from listeners; including one fantastic story about bumping into Colin Cooper on a water slide. Elis brought his favourite 90s football clips which included this one of Leyton Orient manager John Sitton: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYDIMWpcKqI⁠ And this one of then-Huddersfield manager Neil Warnock (note chimney in the middle of dressing room): ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im85NY4NKt4⁠ Meanwhile, in follow up to episode one thank you to Chris Rann for sending us a clip of Ali Dia almost scoring: ⁠https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k9vVV8Q9CXc⁠ And also thank you to Oliver Wilson who sent us this story about Derby County: Last week you discussed shirt sponsorship and Matt Le Tissier mentioned the Southampton once wore a Denmark kit that had been rebadged as Southampton. He also pointed out that Southampton manufactured their own kit for a couple of seasons. A mix of these two scenarios happened at Derby County for the 1994/95 season. In 1993/1994 Derby had worn a kit manufactured by 'well known' sportswear firm Bukta. As a big admirer of the strip i was delighted to see the Rams wearing exactly the same shirt at the start of 1994/95, however the Bukta logo had been replaced by the clubs own stab at kit manufacturing 'Rams Pro Wear'. From what i can remember, the Rams Pro Wear logo had literally just been stitched over the top of the Bukta Motif.It only lasted for one season and i am unaware of the reasoning, i'd like to think the owners wanted to manufacture the kit themselves to save money only to give up and just recycle the Bukta shirts.Photo's of the 2 shirts attached for reference. Thank you all for listening, if you have any favourite clips of footballers trying their hands at acting, weird rules for childhood football or stories of playing with people that went on to become professional then the place to send them is: ⁠hello@quicklykevin.com⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

This month on The Allender Calendar I had the great pleasure of talking to the comedian and broadcaster Elis James about our favourite band Gorky's Zygotic Mynci. Because Elis and I chatted for over two hours I've decided to release this episodes in two parts (both out today!). In Part 1, Elis and I talk about the beginnings of the group and how we first got into them. We then discuss how the band evolved to create the perfect blend of folk, psychedelia and rock on the brilliant run of EPs they released on Ankst between 1994 and 1996 (all collected on the highly recommended album 20). We also talk about what it was like for Elis growing up in Carmarthen (and attending the same school as Gorky's), and about Welsh language music in general.

A second helping of Christmas Leftovers - this time made up from some bits and bobs we were sad to snip out of our interview series for time. Enjoy BBC Radio 5 Live's Elis James (live in the London Welsh Centre) discussing his family's attitude to technology, his time in a band and having a decent stab at a round of Mario Kart on a screen which, we will admit, was too big. We've also got the brilliant comedy writer and actor Gemma Arrowsmith giving us the low-down on the Voyager mission (which came up in our July 1979 episode) plus, for reasons I'm now struggling to remember, a discussion about Welsh TV star Arfon Haines Davies and how nice he is. If you haven't caught them yet, do check-out the full episodes with Elis James and Gemma Arrowsmith . Don't forget, Esyllt and Gareth's end-of-year special for BBC Radio Wales, I Can't Get Over 2024 , is available on BBC Sounds (but will only be there till the end of the month, so do be quick!)

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).

Gabby chats to comedian and broadcaster, Elis James, who is slightly resentful about being eligible for the show! Elis talks about the pitfalls of parenting, including the impossible task of policing children’s access to phones and social media, and explains why he is evangelical about cycling and insufferable on endorphins. They also talk about how Elis’ father’s Parkinson's disease diagnosis has made him think differently about aging, and why both he and Gabby focus on healthspan rather than lifespan. Hosted on Acast.
