#473 - James Acaster, The Sad Van and Anne Tuna

About this episode

473 episodes in and there is still room to excavate the vast intricacies that make up the Pompeii dig of John Robins’ mind. Grab your JCB because there’s a dump truck’s worth to uncover off the back of the latest adventures from the Sad Van. And it all boils down to one thing, as the hotels John’s willing to stay in simply say so much about the man.

A generic hotel brand is the vessel through which we can get to know him.

Does John actually like the things that he likes? Is he a star player who performs badly if he’s pampered? Is it all about fantasy, reality, expectation and fulfillment? Is he a “lunatic” for positing made up things that could go wrong for more money? Does John want character in his life? Is shampoo being separated from shower gel too much of a luxury?

And to answer all these questions we need the assistance of James Acaster, one of the More Money Than Sense Boys.

Plus there’s romantic tests and more evisceration of Dave’s Parachutes vinyl.
