For Wales, See Wales

This week the gang does a deep dive into Welsh independence. With so much of day to day politics being nasty and personal they decided to have a friendly conversation about an issue that is being talked about a lot in this election campaign. Could Wales go it alone? How would a referendum work? What would political parties look like in an indy Wales?The trio took audience questions to explore a fascinating subject. We will be back next week for our election coverage?!In the meantime, some tickets are still left for our LIVE show at The Glee Club in Cardiff on Saturday 23rd May for a post-election round up!

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/

In this episode, the For Wales See Wales trio take a whistle stop tour of the week’s Welsh political stories. They cover retorts to Reform canvassers, why Eluned Morgan was the only Welsh leader not on Question Time, ex Plaid and Tory members restanding despite suspensions, candidates not living in their prospective constituencies, what on Earth is actually going on with Restore, and the lack of costings in the Lib Dem manifesto…phew!

This week the gang tackled the big questions around Welsh politics (as well as wondering if a snake could eat a hippo?). Will has been at the Plaid Cymru manifesto launch and there is a lot to discuss. Plaid are the party most likely to form the next Welsh Government which means it’s important to digest (like a snake eating a hippo) what their plans are. With just three weeks to go until the people of Wales make their vote the election is feeling very real.Some tickets still left to see us at the Glee Club in Cardiff on Saturday 23rd May for a post-election round up!

What a week in Welsh politics. Tory MS James Evans is booted out of the Conservatives for apparently trying to join Reform and then... err... doesn't join Reform.In this week's pod the gang discusses the polling from last week that shows Plaid and the Greens in the lead.Then, in classic For Wales, See Wales style the second we stop recording there is a big announcement with Mr Evans getting the sack. So Robin, Mel and Will are then back for a mini virtual pod at the end of the episode to break down the ongoing saga.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.

This episode was a lot of fun. The trio are back in 2026 and are answering some audience questions.How do journalists decide who to vote for? Would any of them ever get into politics? Does the rest of Wales feel about Cardiff how people in Cardiff feel about London? All of these are the delicious starter to the big meaty main course - how can Wales fix its own economic questions. The short answer -  they can’t.

This week the gang realise that Google street view has captured the moment of the podcast’s (immaculate) conception.They dive into what the new electoral system will mean for how parties campaign across Wales and whether some would-be Senedd Members will even put the name of their party on their leaflets.The pod then goes global with a question from a Canadian listener who wants to know how political discourse impacts the ability of comedians to tell jokes.Tickets are still available for the live show in Wrexham on September 6 which you can buy here: https://www.typawb.wales/event/for-wales-see-wales-podcast-live-show-ty-pawb/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.

The second half of the pod's trip to the Royal Welsh sees some cracking guests.First off the trio discuss Laura Anne Jones’ big money transfer to Reform from the because she has stopped recognising the Tories. They are then joined by the Senedd’s Llywydd, Elin Jones, who explains what it is like to the Speaker of the Welsh Parliament. She also reveals a little of Mel’s nerdy past. Next up we have dairy farmer Abi Reader who explains what makes a good cow. After Will has talked about cows for ages they delve into the Sustainable Farming Scheme and what it means for the future of agriculture in Wales.Tickets are still available for the live show in Wrexham on September 6 which you can buy here: https://www.typawb.wales/event/for-wales-see-wales-podcast-live-show-ty-pawb/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.

The gang leave their Newport base to visit the Royal Welsh Show and my gosh are there a lot of sheep!The trio park up inside a Lion Container at the UK’s (if not the world's) greatest agricultural show to talk all things farming. The new Sustainable Farming Scheme (we will explain what that means) has been announced and the pod sits down with the best goatee in Welsh politics Huw Irranca-Davies to find out what it means.

Robin is back from sailing the “Severn” seas and he has some big points to make about Greenwich mean time. The three ask the question of what Reform doing well will mean for Wales?

The three are reunited at last! Mel, Robin and Will dive into the Welsh Labour conference to discuss Keir Starmer’s dine and dash, Eluned Morgan hitting the decks and why Wales’ largest party are so disorganised. Elsewhere Robin and Mel do a dramatic reading of the online pile-on Will received after suggesting that the UK be more democratic.
