  • Home away from home

    As someone who has still not convinced his family to move to Wales, this podcast has kept me connected to Gwlad. Also, the most random intro music still catches me out with each episode.

  • So much fun!

    ...Another American fan here (in NYC). Every episode, I learn things about Wales, and crack up multiple times. The hosts are hilarious. So far, I especially love the mythology episodes, but I’m glad there’s such a variety of topics. I happened upon the podcast by chance--I have no connections to Wales--and I'm now gonna binge my way through it.

  • Da Iawn boys

    Been listening for ages, thought I should finally pop a review on for you both

    Love the podcast, easy listening, great banter and some genuinely interesting history.

    From Swansea but just relocated to Sydney this year as my partner wanted to be close to her family so this podcast really helps scratch the homesickness itch

    Only gripe would be sometimes you need to turn the volume up on your recordings but it’s been alright lately to be fair.

    Diolch boys, Iechyd Da

  • Great podcast!

    Enjoy listening to the podcast. Would love for you to do an American episode! I am half Welsh and grew up in Wilkes-Barre, in Northeastern Pennsylvania where Welsh culture was very much kept alive in the Welsh churches of the area while I was growing up. My Welsh ancestors came to the U.S. in the mid 1800s to work in the Anthracite coal mines.
