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.

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!

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!

The pod welcomes their first ever Conservative guest. Brecon and Radnorshire MS James Evans joins the team on his birthday! What could be more fitting than a cake and Union Jack balloon.

James provides some real insights into whether his party would work with Reform, what the relationship is like with their fellow Tories in London and why he backed Liz Truss. Fair play to Mr Evans, he doesn’t hold back in his answers.

We also find out that Mel REALLY wants to hurt rugby men and everything happens for a reason (apparently).

Mel's back comes bearing gifts (and truth bombs) for the boys.

In today's pod the gang makes some wagers and discuss Welsh accents,

They then breakdown growing discontent within Welsh Labour with some MSs calling on the party to make some big changes.

This is followed by them exploring what it would be like in Wales if Reform were to win and whether it would actually help Nigel Farage long term.

A member of the For Wales, See Wales audience then draws their attention to a 20m high statue that is hidden in a Welsh valley.

This week the pod (minus Mel who is off betting on the dogs) ask the question on everyone's lips - why is steel making at Port Talbot not as important to the UK Government as Scunthorpe?

Robin and Will then talk about a spike in support for Welsh independence and get very confused about the Plaid supporters who oppose it.

They also look at how Welsh Tory politicians have been charged by the police and seek to understand what Thomas the Tank would look like in hell!

Well this pod sure descended into carnage…

The gang starts by looking at why Wales is paying its young people to leave (with Robin getting VERY angry when Will asks about his student debt).

They then explore how the UK Government has found a whole new way to shaft Wales.

It concludes with a BAFTA worthy performance by Mel and Robin as they reenact a Senedd committee. They really commit to this and it descends into chaos with Robin going a bit Oliver Twist.

In this week’s episode, Will, Mel and Robin ponder whether an influx of global bad news stories is causing the public to minimise their current affairs consumption.

The trio unpack what the UK Government’s highly-debated Spring Statement will mean for Wales, and discuss a very awkward exchange in FMQs.
