  • 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.

    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?”

    Jan 23 2025

    What better way to welcome this cheese obsessed politician than with some brie, Caerphilly and…erm… Babybels?

    Dec 26 2024

    Good Will (Hayward) to all men, red-breasted Christmas Robin (Morgan) and jingles Mels (Owen), it’s time for a festive pod.

    The gang gets very April 2020 and has a quiz. Turns out Mel loves power, Egghead Robin has a very competitive streak and Will knows an uncanny amount about older women.

    The pod’s males battle it out in a Welsh politics knowledge battle while Mel reflects on her borderline unhealthy love of reindeer.
