  • How we can make Wales better
    This week Mel is missing which means Robin and Will undertake a “bro-pod”. After quickly learning that Melanie is the glue that holds them together the pair break down some interesting claims made by a Reform Councillor.They then discuss a major project that could transform Wales that no one seems to want to talk about. After chatting about Robin’s simply fantastic legs they look at how the arts and creative industries are driving some serious cash into Cymru.Finally the take some audience questions looking how journalists choose who they vox pop.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.
