  • Ep27: Why does Wales keep losing out?
    2025/04/10

    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.

    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.

  • Ep26: Labour’s Spring Statement Strife
    2025/04/03

    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.

  • Ep25: The Plaid Cymru Conference
    2025/03/27

    In this week’s episode, Will reports back to Mel and Robin on his time at the Plaid Cymru conference. The trio ask how likely it is that the Rhunicorn will become First Minister, and which policies will make the party stand out to the electorate.

    The gang also discuss Welsh Labour’s request that members feedback on any news or politics-focussed programmes. Astonishingly, FWSW was not on their to-watch list!

  • Ep24: Who are the ‘mainstream media’?
    2025/03/20

    In this week’s episode, Will, Mel and Robin discuss the media landscape in Wales and how it holds the Welsh Government to account. The trio ask whether a ‘mainstream media’ really exists and, if so, how’re we consuming their output in 2025?

    The gang answer some listener questions left over from the live show, including whether Reform are on the brink of implosion, and who could realistically form the next Welsh Government?
