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. Check out the mega brain that is Nathan on his Insta and improve your intelligence by giving his Substack a read.

This throwback clip includes a reference to our other throwback clips for a lovely bit of throwback-ception as well as a delicate and nuanced discussion about the beauty industry. As usual if you want the actual meat and potatoes of history check out the full episode here my loves.

Part two of our Pembroke road trip focuses on our stroll through the castle walls of the towns biggest fortified structure and then a very on brand debrief at the pub about how touching old stone walls gives us those warm fuzzy feelings. Hit play and get well jelly that we got to peruse history and the local tavern and you didn't. P.S. one of our mics died towards the end, the battle with tech is a never ending one. Join our Patreon if you want to hear the final, much more unhinged episode of our trip.

The old North was a cousin land to our dear Cymru and home to our Cumbric allies of old. I wonder if they would have enjoyed Ludlow as much as us or the visiting tourists?Full episode is on offer to all who want the full experience.

We've only gone and been on another road trip and as usual it was filled with a castle to touch and countless pints to drink. Hit play as we struggle through a hangover to give you a run down of Pembroke town and a taster of all its history has to offer. We've got an exclusive extra Pembroke based episode on our Patreon and we had more pints before recording that one so sign up and check it out.

In the depths of winter it's sometimes hard to remember that we were all once sweet children of the summer but luckily we put out a low effort clip each week from old episodes and this one happens to be from when the sun was shining brightly. Enjoy little cherubs. Full episode here.

Riots and strikes went hand in hand with Wales during the industrial age and while some are well known, other actions have slipped under the radar for the most part, even when they're the biggest labour dispute in UK history. Hit play and listen to the reasons behind almost 3000 slate miners dropping tools and ditching work for 3 years way back in 1900.
