November 1978 (The Times stops, BBC Radio Wales starts)

After a short debrief around the Independent Podcast Awards, Gareth Gwynn and Esyllt Sears turn their attention to November 1978. BBC Radio Wales begins while The Times, The Sunday Times and the nation's bakers all take a break. Video footage of the launch of BBC Radio Wales is here complete with talking parrot. An entertaining look back at the early days of the station can be found in I Was There... When Radio Wales Began. They were there, but not all of them were happy about it. If you're a fan of November, generally, check-out our back catalogue where we covered 1987 (Mates Condoms and Miss World), 1996 (Baywatch and Bill Clinton) and 2000 (The Millennium Dome Heist).Do get in touch via [email protected] or through one of the following social media accounts...Instagram: @imsonotoveritX: @imsonotoveritBlueSky: @imsonotoveritTikTok: @imsonotoveritMusic by Alex_Kizenkov from Pixabay.I'm So Not Over It is A Mighty Bunny Production.Tickets are now on sale for Gareth Gwynn's show Cyril at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
