#425 - The Credit Score Special

Elis and John go deep, arguably too deep, down the credit score rabbit hole.

We鈥檝e hit a low ebb. The show which won Best Entertainment Podcast at the British Podcast Awards just a few years ago is dredging the bottom of the barrel. That new low being production staff researching their credit scores 鈥榣ive鈥� on the show. Throw in a chat with an expert on credit ratings and it鈥檚 a wall to wall credit ball.

And at such an ebb one would have thought it would lift the mood of Robins. This is him. Distilled Robins. But no. Rather, it鈥檚 broken him, because Dave has a 999 credit score without even having a credit card. Something which he simply cannot recover from. And this has affected the mood.

What ensues is a breakdown. A breakdown over being unable to nudge the needle from 999 to 1000. And a breakdown over autofilling card details on a laptop. And that鈥檚 not the end of it as we see the dangers of a John with access to a credit expert on demand. Somebody break glass for a kilo of Dairy Milk to save us for the Tuesday episode record.

Do you have something thrilling to add to this enthralling credit chat? The chances are remote but it鈥檚 elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp if you want to subject the production staff to some light reading.
