For Wales, See Wales Will Hayward, Melanie Owen, Robin Morgan 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. Gŵyl Glyndŵr Dan Llewelyn Hall and Alun Hart This is the official podcast of Gŵyl Glyndŵr. Here you will find recordings from the first festival and other speeches, lectures and interviews on the subject of Owain Glyndŵr and his long-lasting influence on Welsh identity and culture. Afloat with Henry Morgan Radio Show! Radio Shows of the Past! Sir Henry Morgan (Welsh: Harri Morgan; c. 1635 – 25 August 1688) was a Welsh privateer, plantation owner, and, later, Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica. From his base in Port Royal, Jamaica, he and those under his command raided settlements and shipping ports on the Spanish Main, becoming wealthy as they did so. With the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prize_money" targe The Expedition of Humphry Clinker by Tobias Smollett Lina The Expedition of Humphry Clinker was the last of the picaresque novels of Tobias Smollett, and is considered by many to be his best and funniest work.Published in London on 17 June 1771, it is an epistolary novel, presented in the form of letters written by six different characters: Matthew Bramble, a Welsh Squire; his sister Tabitha; their niece and nephew, Jery and Lydia Melford; Tabitha's maid Winifred Jenkins; and Lydia's suitor, Wilson.Much of the comedy arises from differences in the descriptions of the same events by different participants. Attributions of motives and descriptions of behavior show wild variation and reveal much about the character of the teller. The setting, amidst the high-society spa towns and seaside resorts of the 18th century provides his characters with many opportunities for satirical observations on English life and manners.
