## Resource

Two towering national figures dominate today’s podcast; bloobs and David Attenborough. Bloobs because John has realised he lives in heaven and he backs the Chilterns. Attenborough because John’s been watching his new (filthy) TV show and Elis has been having nightmares about knocking him down the stairs. Three other culturally significant totems also feature: First there’s the new DG who meets John (in a show intro that Elis labels ‘a real case study into the workings of John’s mind’). Then there’s Steve Coogan and his historic aggressive vibing with Robins. And thirdly, and probably most importantly, there’s the Cymru Connection. Elis has a new approach to reaching 50%, and all he needs is a complete list of all of Wales’s teachers… If you were looking for a means to interact with the show, then look no further than the medium of email.
