About this listen

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.

  • “I would challenge Keir Starmer in a dance off” - Rhun ap Iorwerth on the pod
    May 22 2025

    Can you hear the sound of hooves? The Rhunicorn trots into the studio to talk Welsh independence, films and what a Plaid Cymru Government would actually do.

    This week the gang host Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth who is the frontrunner to be the next Wales First Minister.

    He comes bearing gifts as well as explaining where he would want to put the Welsh capital…

    In a fascinating and wide ranging interview Will and the Plaid leader get into a debate over what currency an independent Wales would have. Rhun ap Iorwerth also reveals that he used to be in a band with “perfectly innocent” name.

    Plus milkshakes, corn and pineapple…

    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.

  • Who will win the most seats in the Welsh election?
    May 15 2025

    The gang come together on Will’s birthday to mock him mercilessly.

    They explore who is on course to win the most seats in the Senedd election and answer the fairly important question of how the voting actually works?

    Also on the agenda is Eluned Morgan’s Gavin and Stacey reference as well as planning a live event from Ninja Warrior. Get Mark Drakeford on monkey bars!

  • Bombshell poll drops in Welsh politics
    May 8 2025

    This week the pod heads out on the road. Setting up camp inside the Senedd/Welsh Parliament the gang invite any politician to come one and chew the fat.

    The very morning that we arrived a gobsmacking poll was released that put Plaid top, with Reform just behind and Labour on just 18%. First Minister Eluned Morgan had also given a speech where she (sorta) reestablished the clear red water between herself and Keir Starmer.

    This pod is a bit different to usual. Guests were dropping in left and right.

    Labour’s Lee Waters reminded Will of their, err, interesting history. Llyr Gruffydd says Plaid Cymru are simply more fun than Labour and Tory Tom Giffard explains his vision for a M4 without queues.

    Big thanks to the Senedd Commission for letting us in. The public is able to visit the Senedd so get on down there and nosy around!
