from For Wales, See Wales · host Will Hayward, Melanie Owen, Robin Morgan

For Wales, See Wales has their first ever guest in the form of former First Minister Mark Drakeford. What better way to welcome this cheese obsessed politician than with some brie, Caerphilly and…erm… Babybels? The gang scrutinise Mr Drakeford over Labour’s record in Wales and how the Welsh NHS can be fixed. Plus we find out what he really thought of Boris Johnson and what his relationship is like with Keir Starmer’s Westminster Government.Big thanks to our sponsor Lion ContainersFor Wales, See Wales is a HayMan Media Production.About FWSW100 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/Get in touch at [email protected] Wales, See Wales is a HayMan Media Productionhttps://www.haymanmedia.co.uk/
