	How to fix Wales’ broken transport network	05 nov. 2026	00:47:45
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.

In this week’s episode the For Wales See Wales trio get their teeth into even more data. Will, Mel and Robin compare which demographics voted for Reform in the Senedd Elections compared to the last General Election. In light of the Makerfield by-election, the trio ask ‘who should be a politician?’, and ponder the all-important question: Does driving a van make you a misogynist? 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.

This week the gang gets lost in a world of word clouds. With the Senedd election only nine weeks away the look at pooling which suggests how voters in Wales actually feel about some of the political parties. (Spoiler alert) the biggest word for Reform was “racist” which begs the question of why people think this and whether it actually hurts Nigel Farage’s party's ability to win? And finally they talk about the political hero we never knew we needed - Sir Oink-a-lot… Also... a small number of tickets are still left for our next live show in Aberystwyth on St David’s Day.

	Sackings, Polls and Attempted Defections	22 janv. 2026	00:49:03
What a week in Welsh politics. Tory MS James Evans is booted out of the Conservatives for apparently trying to join Reform and then... err... doesn't join Reform. In this week's pod the gang discusses the polling from last week that shows Plaid and the Greens in the lead. Then, in classic For Wales, See Wales style the second we stop recording there is a big announcement with Mr Evans getting the sack. So Robin, Mel and Will are then back for a mini virtual pod at the end of the episode to break down the ongoing saga.

	What’s Labour’s plan in Wales?	15 janv. 2026	00:41:01
The pod is back in the brand spanking new HayMan Media studios. This week the gang dive into Welsh Labour’s leaked Senedd election plan and ask the question - “really?!”. They also watch Mike Hedges remain cool, calm and collected in the Welsh Parliament while Andrew RT Davies hides behind a pillar… They finish with Mel furious that a political party has taken the good Mel Owen image and used it for their own benefit. Bear in mind that this podcast was recorded before the mega poll came out earlier this week. We will be looking at that next week.

	Why Wales can never fix its own problems	08 janv. 2026	00:33:57
This episode was a lot of fun. The trio are back in 2026 and are answering some audience questions. How do journalists decide who to vote for? Would any of them ever get into politics? Does the rest of Wales feel about Cardiff how people in Cardiff feel about London? All of these are the delicious starter to the big meaty main course - how can Wales fix its own economic questions. The short answer - they can’t. The longer answer - it’s complicated. Wales’ best known politics podcast is back for the biggest year in Welsh politics for decades!
