For Wales, See Wales

By: Will Hayward Melanie Owen Robin Morgan
  • Summary

  • 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.

    Guardian columnist Will Hayward along with comedians Mel Owen and Robin Morgan are here to pick apart the political scene in Wales with a combination of journalistic insight and satirical sideswipes.

    For Wales, See Wales is a Hayman Media production.

  • Ep25: The Plaid Cymru Conference
    Mar 27 2025

    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!

    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.

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

    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?

  • Ep23: What is the Crown Estate and should you care?
    Mar 13 2025
