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.

  • Great insight

    Have been listening to this podcast since around the start of the year and it’s just great.

    It’s given me a great insight into the inner workings of Welsh politics since moving back to the area.

    They get guests from all parties and give them equal opportunities to get their point across and then give them a load of hard questions.

    Hosts are great, content is great, thanks very much for the podcast.

It's educational and the hosts ... more
