About this episode

It’s a very prison-based episode today, as John reveals he might be going there for petty crime, and Elis draws parallels between Albert Camus’s prison-residing outsider Meursault and Johnny JR. Was Camus foreshadowing the life of our favourite Bristol-born broadcaster?


But don’t worry, it’s not all highbrow existentialism. John discovers another self-penned story on his hard drive that involves farts (but crucially, is not ABOUT farts).


Also expect answers to the questions: Can you Cymru Connect over a horse? Can you take your odd socks to a raffle? And is the sky really a neighbourhood?
