  • If you want to know what is going on in Wales, this is the podcast to listen to!

    I listen to this podcast every week to catch up on the truly important issues being discussed in Wales. I only wish that I understood enough Welsh to listen to it on Radio Cymru. Mr. Roderick is extremely knowledgeable and seems very fair to both sides of any issue. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone who loves Wales.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

19/10/2025
Q: What does it say about the Conservative Party that not only is withdrawing from the ECHR policy, but now that if you disagree with that policy, if you're Robert Buckland, for instance, you wouldn't be allowed to stand as a Conservative candidate?
It's unfortunate, and suggests a narrowing of perspectives within the party that previously embraced a broader church ethos.
