Brace yourselves for some top-tier podcast ASMR!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.
