Elt and Jonno always welcome fierce competition for all of the global Podcast awards they are inevitably going to receive in the future.

Nothing to worry about lads, as the British press widely report their first foray into Podcasts as "toe-curling" at best. Even Jonno's worst dad jokes haven't quite been received as badly (yet...). Charly's Choons of the Week Elt goes with the gargantuan tune, Liam Gallagher - "Once", featuring his idol Eric 'The King' Cantona. Cracking video! Have a look and listen here.
