This week the pod welcomes the Welsh Government’s transport minister Mark Hooper.

The gang talks M4 congestion, a third Menai bridge, buses, trains and automobiles.

They dig into what the plans are to tackle Wales’ creaking transport network and what conversations have been had with Andy Burnham’s UK Government on Cymru getting the cash it is owed.

Oh and Wagon Wheels, lots of Wagon Wheels.

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.

Plus we have some great merchandise which you can buy here: https://for-wales-see-wales.teemill.com/

Another week in Welsh politics and Robin, Will and Mel are back together to digest everything that is going on.

They start with hero of greyhounds Jane Dodds stepping down as leader of the Welsh Lib Dems.

They also look at Reform leader in Wales Helen Jenner’s video where she paid tribute to the victims of Aberfan while also saying she wanted to ban face coverings.

The gang then breaks down NHS waiting lists going up again as well as why Wales is in a tricky position money wise over the next few years.

Bear in mind this was recorded BEFORE the Chancellor’s budget.

We have a guest on the pod this week. Jess Blair from the Electoral Reform Society Cymru joins the gang to break down how Welsh democracy is broken and how we can fix it.

They discuss how, despite everyone agreeing that systems need to change, it never seems to happen how it should.

Plus Will dazzles with his “cool” knowledge of Welsh local authorities - rock n’ roll…
