Our first emergency pod!

Robin and Will dive into the US election with the final result coming in while they record.

While the election of Donald Trump might have big ramifications for the wider world, there are important lessons for us to learn here in Wales.

What does this mean for Cymru? Why are populist leaders doing so well? What can moderates do about it? Are there parallels between Welsh and American politics?

Plus, Will goes full on Tory MP and makes a bet on the outcome of the election while Robin describes the insanity that is writing comedy as an election plays out live.

Both guys grieve the fact that Mel can’t join them this week because she is on holiday (and definitely not at the Trump after party)....

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.
