For Wales, See Wales

Written by: Will Hayward Melanie Owen Robin Morgan
  • Summary

  • For Wales, See Wales is a podcast helping you better understand the most wonderful country on earth - Wales.

    Each week we shine a light on the utterly bizarre (and often hilarious) world of Welsh politics and issues.

    So many people care deeply about Cymru but very little attention is given to it by the wider UK media. This podcast aims to help fill this gap.

    Guardian columnist Will Hayward along with comedians Mel Owen and Robin Morgan are here to pick apart the political scene in Wales with a combination of journalistic insight and satirical sideswipes.

    For Wales, See Wales is a Hayman Media production.

  • Ep19: What's for Breakfast?
    Feb 12 2025

    In this week’s episode, the gang personally thank Darren Millar for creating content for them. No he didn’t come on the podcast, but he did jet off to Washington DC for a national prayer breakfast with Trump which was, apparently, more important than doing his job as the Leader of the Opposition.

    Will investigates deeper into the Cardiff University job losses, uncovering some hard-to-swallow reasons for the closure of the nursing department.

    And the trio answer listener questions on Plaid Cymru’s budget demands and the appropriation of Welsh identity.

    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.

  • Ep18: Leaks and leeks
    Feb 6 2025

    Robin is back from his stint in prison after being let out for good behaviour (obviously) and the reunited trio chow down on a juicy Welsh politics burger.

    This week Will reveals a leaked document that suggests chaos within the Welsh Government. The three also discuss the job losses at Cardiff Uni.

    We also answer an audience question where we look at how second homes are putting rural Welsh communities under real pressure.

  • Ep17: God bless the councillors!
    Jan 30 2025

    “It wasn’t a Nazi salute I promise!” This week the pod covers everything from international politics to local government.

    Will starts fanboying over a group of Welsh local councillors who took on the Welsh Government and won whereas Mel admits that perhaps she may actually not dislike all politicians!

    They also breakdown the good and the bad of Mark Drakeford’s interview and ask the question: “Why doesn’t he enact these good ideas?”
