A cheeky bonus episode ahead of the Caerphilly by-election reaction on Friday!

Robin, Mel and Will dive into some audience questions including why the Greens haven’t cut through in Wales (yet) and whether the main UK parties really care about the Senedd.

We also discover Will’s doppelganger and Mel gives a sneak peak into the depressing world of dating apps.

For Wales, See Wales will be releasing a reaction podcast to the Caerphilly by-election in Friday, October 24.

About FWSW

100 years ago if you had picked up the Encyclopaedia Britannica and looked up “Wales” you would have seen four words - ‘For Wales, see England.’

This implied that Wales was no different to England. Not worthy of its own description. Second fiddle. Frankly, it implied that Wales was simply less of a country.

That is why we have launched our podcast: For Wales, See Wales.

It is a weekly look at Welsh politics looking at the issues that matter to people here.

There are so many people who are passionately Welsh, who care about Wales and want to better understand what is happening here.

The more informed people are on Welsh issues, the more they are able to hold politicians and decision makers to account for the things that affect their lives.

Just as importantly, we want to have a good laugh talking and learning about the country we love.

Plus we have some great merchandise which you can buy here: https://for-wales-see-wales.teemill.com/

This week there is A LOT of politics.

The gang breakdown the Tories forgetting their own morals when it comes to the Nation of Sanctuary, Labour forgetting that they actually run Caerphilly Council, Reform buying cameras from the 1920s and Plaid Cymru hold their conference.

The look at who is most likely to win the Caerphilly byelection and Robin suggest that winning the seat might not be in Plaid’s best interests.

The gang are back to with a “satellite episode” (don’t ask) to answer some listener questions, including how to converse with people across the divide, the lack of female voices in politics, and, of course, whether Mel likes Mamma Mia or not.

We also hear about Eluned Morgan’s take on Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board and a possible tease for a Christmas special episode? How festive.

This week Will is recovering after the Labour conference in Liverpool. The gang discuss Eluned Morgan dancing (again), whether it’s fair to call Plaid Cymru "poison" and why the boys that can moon walk get all the ladies.

They also discuss the joys of an “event appropriate” twmpath and dig into the question of why Keir Starmer LOVES flags so much.

The pod is back (a day later than usual) and the team is talking polls.

New polling for Wales has put Labour down on 14% whereas Reform and Plaid Cymru are up on 30%. This will massively change Welsh politics if true and the trio look at what this would mean in the Senedd after May.

The gang also explores the bold claim from Mel that “horses aren’t posh in the countryside”...

They also look at the ratings for individual leaders and discover who is the most popular (or should that be least hated?).

The gang head to North Wales to do a live show from the wonderful Ty Pawb. Just a day after Reform suggested abolishing Welsh democracy Robin, Mel and Will break down what this means for Wales.

Mel and Robin both do a quiz plus we have some fantastic audience questions.

The For Wales, See Wales team are then joined by special guest Plaid Cymru MS Llyr Gruffydd who reveals his musical background and what it was like when UKIP had seven Senedd Members.

Robin, Mel and Will are back in the studio and are looking at the massive by-election coming up in Caerphilly. Reform and Plaid both believe they can take it from Labour and are throwing everything at the seat.

Will breaks down why it will be a disaster for Labour if they lose because it will mean they will need to work with other parties inside the Senedd just to get their budget through.

The three also talk about how they try to provide balanced analysis in a political world which is getting more tribal and angry.

This was a lot of fun. The gang start by talking buses and the Welsh Gov’s plans to make it super cheap for young people to catch the bus. Mel reveals her bus-based child trauma.

They then break down some fascinating insights into a Welsh Conservative Facebook group.

They finish by looking at how well Eluned Morgan has done in her first year as First Minister (it ain’t great).
