Tales for Wales: A Welsh History Podcast

With the last of the Christmas magic swiftly being sapped away by the return of the mundane rhythm of life we thought we'd remind you of a bit of Welsh magic in the form of a cunning escape artist.Of course the clip isn't about the subject matter, you know us better than that by now. But you can listen to us cover all inclusive holiday's and praying on the flight home then listen to the full whack here.

For our first proper episode of the year we thought we'd treat you to something a little further afield than what we'd usually cover and tell you the tale of one of our Celtic cousins across the sea. Hit play and hear all about a guy who puts the Man in the Isle of Man from the hosts that put the Isle in 'if you're waiting for the subject it usually takes us a whISLE'.Our Patreon episodes are always popping, pals so take a peek over there and pay the price that suits you for those extra portions of content.

First throwback of the new year and we're starting strong with one of Wales' most criminally inclined exports. Hear all about this Cambrian bad boy in the full eppy here.

We know that you all think of us as hunky alphas but occasionally we like to dabble with being stone cold virgins and what better way to express this than playing dungeons and dragons with a Welsh theme (shut up it's cool now). Click here to get the accompanying imagery to better bring the D&D world to life.

This week's throwback lands firmly on Jesu Grist's birthday and as a gift to both him and you we're re-releasing a a full length golden oldie all about the festivities in Wales at this time of year. So whether you'd prefer the sound of two drunks over spending time with your own family or you're the most die hard of die hard listeners, glug back a Christmas beer and listen to the traditions of a Cymru past.

We can harp on about how good Wales is and was all the live long day but in the interest of balance we occasionally like to cover some of the not so glamorous aspects of Cymru's past and what better time to get super serious than Christmas?Hit play and have a listen to how Wales and the wider world of the time couldn't even be bothered to pay a minimum wage. Get around our Patreon for some extra content, merch discounts and a super secret exclusive episode coming to you this yuletide season.

Cast your brains upstream of the river that is time and listen back to when we had one of the great Cymro join us to chat about Ynys Môn.Unlike a regular doctor this guy is one you can't wait to see, give the full episode a listen here.

Join us this yuletide season for a low stakes, low effort episode coming straight to you from one of the best boozers in Cardiff Bay. Topic selection will be scattered and borderline chaotic as usual but will range from the history of the pub to typical experiences growing up in Wales. Give the gift of Christmas cheer this year by gifting someone a free month or two on our Patreon. Or gift it yourself and be even merrier for it.

This week's throwback is to one of our all time favourites and for once the clip is actually about the subject in question so listen for that if nothing else. Hit play and listen to a hero of modern Wales who battered a particularly awful human back in the day and looked bloody fabulous while doing it. Full episode here, we highly recommend it.

As you all know we're dedicated to bringing you the utmost accuracy when it comes to tales of the past and how better to do that than brining on a proper history head who's written books and everything. Join us and our guest, Nathen Amin, to discuss one of the biggest names in the history game, Henry Tudor AKA Harri Tudur AKA Big Hazza AKA H from Steps.
