  • Wales

    Thank you for covering Wales properly, which is so rare. I really enjoyed the episode with the Plaid Cymrus MP. We are facing massive political upheaval and need more information on alternatives to Labour. The coverage of Wales by mainstream media is scant and often ill informed. More celtic content please. Naomi’s pronunciation is excellent too!

  • Mea culpa - 1969, not 1968 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Excellent episode, Sam Freedman is brilliant.

    I realised I got the wrong year for De Gaulle’s resignation, it was of course 1969, not 1968. Apologies!
