About this listen

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.

  • Keir Starmer needs to actually stand up to the far-right
    Aug 29 2025

    The trio are back in the studio after the summer and Mel has been having a whale of a time campaigning for justice for the Shetland Duck. Will is apparently going to the new James Bond while Robin has fallen down the stairs.

    The pod looks at the total lack of resistance to Nigel Farage stoking up hatred and takes a good look through the Overton Window.

    Will and Mel then chat to Robin “speed freak” Morgan about the 20mph limit and how it was actually a brilliant idea.

    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.

  • Leanne Wood on the Pod
    Aug 21 2025

    In this week’s episode, the For Wales See Wales team are joined by former Plaid Cymru leader, Leanne Wood.

    On the podcast, Leanne discusses her former career as a probation officer and how her time working with some of the most challenged members of society boosted her enthusiasm to stand for the Senedd. She also shares with the FWSW trio how she really feels about the rise of Reform in her home patch of Y Rhondda, divulging that she even sat in one of their meetings, bringing it to a halt.

    Leanne takes Will, Mel and Robin back to 2015 to discuss the Leaders Debates which saw her go head-to-head with Nigel Farage on live TV, and recalls the pressure of being the only Welsh voice on a national platform.

  • No one else is going to help Wales
    Aug 14 2025

    This week's pod gets into the big question, 'where the hell are Robin's sports goggles?'.

    The trio also dive into the one part of Wales which is bucking the trend and getting younger as well as discussing why rents are growing faster in Wales than anywhere in England.

    We then have some fascinating audience questions where they talk about how Wales is forgotten, and whether we should be annoyed about it.
