For Wales, See Wales
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.

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.
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.
