Ep5: What the election of Trump means for Wales
Our first emergency pod!Robin and Will dive into the US election with the final result coming in while they record. While the election of Donald Trump might have big ramifications for the wider world, there are important lessons for us to learn here in Wales.What does this mean for Cymru? Why are populist leaders doing so well? What can moderates do about it? Are there parallels between Welsh and American politics?Plus, Will goes full on Tory MP and makes a bet on the outcome of the election while Robin describes the insanity that is writing comedy as an election plays out live. Both guys grieve the fact that Mel can’t join them this week because she is on holiday (and definitely not at the Trump after party)....

Ep3: What's the point of the Welsh Conservatives?
This week the gang deep dive into just why train travel in Wales is so bad.

Plus there is a surprise appearance from Producer Darryl who has some surprising train knowledge.Focus then turns to the Welsh Conservatives with Mel breaking the bombshell that she used to work for them!

Ep2: “It’s better than doing f*** all”
In this week's pod Mel, Robin and Will discover the rarest thing in the world - an interesting Senedd committee meeting!After enjoying the fact that a well respected academic said the Welsh Government was doing “f*** all”, the trio dive into the world of Welsh independence, looking at where the indy movement is in Wales and some of the big holes in the argument for Wales leaving the UK.They then explore at the recent Plaid Cymru conference with some exclusive interviews with leading politicians to break down exactly what their plans are for Wales (spoiler, we still don’t really know). Elsewhere Will finally comes to the realisation he has a smug face, Mel admits to having no musical talent despite being half Welsh/half Caribbean and Robin comes out of the closet as indy-curious.
