Tales for Wales: A Welsh History Podcast

Swap out the sun of summer for the hearth of Christmas this Throwback Thursday and listen to us cackle about how us and out friends ruined the yuletide season for our families not so long ago. Full episode here if you cherubs fancy listening to some old Welsh Xmas traditions.

Wales is a land of stories and as we've banged on about since starting this pod, someone should be making them into films. While we can dream of an angel investor who wants to fund a pair of amateurs to turn up hungover on set most days, todays guest is a bona fide member of the industry who's made it his personal task to give Wales its dues on the silver screen. Hit play and listen to us chat about Wales' foray into blockbuster territory and when you're done, check out more about the flick here.

Another throwback, another chat filled to the brim with talk of frothy pints and the consequences of drinking them. Full episode here if you fancy learning about those bardic boys.

Just when you thought the Welshness couldn't get Welsher and the History couldn't get more Historic we've gone and doubled up on both by bringing in the man behind Welsh Histories to talk about, you guessed it, Welsh history. Hit play and listen to us chat with, unlike us, a legit chronicler of the ages who, like us, bloody loves Cymru.Check out Welsh Histories, he's good folk and his content is top notch: Facebook InstaGo down in history yourself as the best dressed mother effer no matter what side of Offa's Dyke you're on - check out our merch or just add us to the list of accounts you doomscroll through

This week we travel all the way back to the UK XL Bully ban, complete with slagging off a politician of the time and reminiscing about just how lame we were in our teens. Enjoy. If you actually did want to hear about Patagonia and their connection to Cymru, turn your ears to the full episode here.

We strive to make history based spiel for the common folk here at Tales for Wales and what could fit better than the age old battle between the working class and the swan scoffing boffins that make the rules. Hit play and listen as we return to the scene of the Wines and Crimes. There's more content and merch to be had and quite frankly ignoring it would be criminal.

Wales is home to many a mythological creature but in this throwback clip we discuss the rarest of them all. The notorious Pig-Heart-Boy. If you want to hear more about the crazy creatures of Cymru, look no further than the full eppy, my friends.

Get ready for Llywelyn Fawr part 2: Electric Boogaloo, baby because this hunk of Welsh leadership is coming at you faster than the Cymry of old could loose an arrow.

Extra treats for the greedy listeners amongst you can be found on our socials and our Patreon here, as well as merch for those who only dress in their historically themed best.

Today is a look back at one of our many Welsh myth focused episodes so to tee you up of course, we have a clip of us slagging off one of Wales' greatest exports with a dash of Peep Show references. Enjoy. Full episode here if you fancy getting your myths on.

Hold on to your butts boios because the top dog we're discussing today is one of the all time, pound for pound champs of the fair nation that is Cymru. Give that little play button a tickle and listen to us tell a tale of battle, diplomacy and leadership that (FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME) deserves a Braveheart style movie adaptation.Llywelyn Fawr had his head screwed on and we're pretty sure he'd be dressed in the finest Tales for Wales merch if he were about today. He'd at very least be gobbling up our extra content so do right by the boy and do the same.
