Tales for Wales: A Welsh History Podcast

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. Unlike the miners of old you don't have to dig deep to find valuable nuggets of content, just join the Patreon.

The truth is out there and you can find it with us by listening to the full episode showcased on today's throwback. If you'd prefer to just listen to 3 tipsy lads talk about what they're drinking though, that's on offer too. Full episode right here for the real truth seekers.

We all know about Hastings Direct, the prestige insurance company. But did you know it gets its name from a battle in 1066 that was kind of a big deal?The Norman conquest of England is taught in schools all over the UK, but what was going down in Cymru town when the kings of England, Norway and Normandy were duking it out? Hot play and find out you scallies.Jump on our Patreon if you want bonus content, surveys, extra titbits and the deep appreciation of the Tales for Wales hosts.

It's Thursday and this is a throwback. You know the drill. The subject is actually pretty interesting but the clip is of the nonsense we talk about before the actual meat of the subject because we're just so effing zany like that. Full episode with the whacky riffs and the content of substance can be found right here.

How could we cover Oakwood without shining a little light on it's Easterly cousin, Coney Beach. Just as many fun memories and just as many not so fun disasters, injuries and lapses in health and safety.Hit play and listen to the rise and fall of Porthcawl's crown jewel. RIP. Our Patreon could be described as a theme park of the podcasting world, but like an Oakwood after dark version that's cool and sexy. Join up and see what all the fuss is about.

Calan Gaeaf, Samhain, Halloween, whatever you call it we all know it as the night for spooky celebrations, terrifying tricks and sickly sweet treats. This year we thought we'd double up on episodes to celebrate all hallows eve and rerelease one form the archives about a particularly chilling tale from a village in Conwy. It's not a TRICK, you really can get extra TREATS on the Tales for Wales Patreon.

Croeso nol and welcome back dear listeners. Hop on the history bus and travel back with us once more to an episode of old. What more could signal an episode about literal race riots than a clip of us having wedding chat?Full episode here for the die hards.
