Tales for Wales: A Welsh History Podcast

We've put this one off for a while but thought it was about time we talked about a subject that's still a little raw for some in Wales. Hopefully we can do it justice and inform those who don't know about one of the more recent injustices in Wales.Not to capitalise on a tragedy but our Patreon is also live... just saying 👀

Wales has been a mixed bag of characters over the centuries from noble Kings and Princes to total knobhead highwaymen. But few have reached the dizzy heights of eccentricity as the druidic nationalist that was William Price.Hit play and plunge the depths of madness with us as we explore the progressive good, the mental bad and the fashion based ugly that was the Druid of Llantrisant.Our Patreon is live! They said it could never be done but we've once again pushed the envelope by having the gall to set up paid tiers for our so called content. Click this badboy and have a look you beauties.

The Welsh squabbled with each other often throughout history, trading in working together to achieve our true potential for short term, selfish gains. But there were a few father like authority figures here and there that grabbed the bickering Welsh leaders by the ear and got them to play nice for the good of Wales.These Daddy's of Wales were instrumental in some of it's biggest victories and one of the biggest Daddy's of all was Owain Fawr/Owain the Great.Hit play and find out how big, bad Owain got Wales' proverbial ducks in a row to beat back the naughty Normans.Know what else is great?

Not content with our little piece of the UK, the Welsh have sometimes found themselves spreading out across the world to find a new way of life. In this case it was to make mega bucks supplying metal for the Russian government (Boo! Hiss!) but in the process a plucky Welshman ended up laying the foundations for one of Ukraine's largest cities.Hit play and listen to us moan about our colds, talk a bit about history and commit to the frontlines of a war.If you've got some roubles or nice comments to spare you can send them to us here.
