    Episode 221 - People’s Charter
    Aug 12 2024
    In London skilled tradesmen who were feeling a lack of respect of the working poor created a list of demands that would make up the People's Charter. This group called Chartists would drive a lot of political discussions in Wales. It would develop a new notion of democratic movements for the working class populations who were feeling very unrepresented.

    Episode 220 - Crime and Social Conformity in Wales
    Jul 29 2024
    Crime and poverty were strong bedfellows in Wales in the mid century of the 1800s.
