#521 - Subversive Regional, Call Roger Bannister and All At Sea in a Brandscape

John Robins feels enormous. A new supermarket has opened near his house, and he’s primed and ready to make content that no one else would dream of making.

John Robins feels enormous. His Christmas Day, Ryder Cup and Tax Deadline Day have all come at once. That’s right, a new supermarket has opened near his house, and he’s primed and ready to make content that no one else would dream of making. Strap in for some gonzo journalism; it’s Fear and Loathing in Rural Bucks.

Supermarket excitement aside, we tackle the big questions: Did Elizabeth I wish she’d had meal deals? Did she resent not having a fridge, or Tetris, or yoghurt? What would Henry VIII have made of an air fryer?

Plus, Elis’s Welshness gets him in hypothetical hot water.
