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.

  • Westminster tells Wales to “be grateful”
    Jun 26 2025

    With Robin away who knows where (Wally) this week Mel and Will carry the baton together to look at ANOTHER shafting of Wales courtesy of our pals in London.

    Will breaks down how housing in Wales is holding us all back and while deliberate decisions by UK Labour are increasing homelessness in Cymru.

    Mel then reaches new levels of outrage as a UK Treasury minister tell Wales to “be grateful” for being shortchanged.

    Plus the big question, why are so many Welsh people falling over?

    BIG ANNOUNCEMENT.

    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.

  • The system consistently fails Wales
    Jun 20 2025

    This week Robin and Will grieve for Mel who is swifty realising “if you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime”.

    With the pod’s representative farmer due to be back next week, the pair take a look at Mark Drakeford getting angry and Andrew RT Davies totally not saying a word in an odd way.

    They then look at how Rachel Reeves has given Wales mutton and told them it’s lamb plus asking why Welsh Labour aren’t doing more to kick up a fuss.

    There is also a very special announcement about our next live show (save September 6 in your calendar).

  • What is Reform’s plan for Wales?
    Jun 12 2025

    This week Robin and Mel threaten to kill a listener while we discover that Mel is, in fact, marriage material.

    The gang dive into Nigel Farage’s trip to Wales and look at how his party are going all out to target Cymru. This brings us to the big question - who actually wants to go down a mine?

    Elsewhere Chancellor Rachel Reeves reboots to give Wales some cash, but is it enough?
