For Wales, See Wales is a podcast helping you better understand the most wonderful country on earth - Wales.

Each week we shine a light on the utterly bizarre (and often hilarious) world of Welsh politics and issues.

So many people care deeply about Cymru but very little attention is given to it by the wider UK media. This podcast aims to help fill this gap.

Guardian columnist Will Hayward along with comedians Mel Owen and Robin Morgan are here to pick apart the political scene in Wales with a combination of journalistic insight and satirical sideswipes.

For Wales, See Wales is a Hayman Media production.

  • Welsh Senedd Election Review Live Show!
    May 27 2026

    The trio are out in the wild with nearly 400 (yes 400) listeners at the Cardiff Glee Club to unpack everything from the recent Welsh election.

    They ask the big questions. What would have happened if Reform had won? Is this the best result for Plaid? Will Rock and Slaughter really come together to fight crime?

    Mel, Robin and Will then put their credibility on the line to open their pre-election predictions in front of a live audience. What could go wrong?

    About FWSW

    100 years ago if you had picked up the Encyclopaedia Britannica and looked up “Wales” you would have seen four words - ‘For Wales, see England.’

    This implied that Wales was no different to England. Not worthy of its own description. Second fiddle. Frankly, it implied that Wales was simply less of a country.

    That is why we have launched our podcast: For Wales, See Wales.

    It is a weekly look at Welsh politics looking at the issues that matter to people here.

    There are so many people who are passionately Welsh, who care about Wales and want to better understand what is happening here.

    The more informed people are on Welsh issues, the more they are able to hold politicians and decision makers to account for the things that affect their lives.

    Just as importantly, we want to have a good laugh talking and learning about the country we love.

  • What should Wales be demanding from Westminster?
    May 20 2026

    In this week’s episode, the For Wales See Wales trio discuss Rhun ap Iorweth’s first discussion as First Minister with the Prime Minister. Will, Mel and Robin discuss what a nationalist government can demand from Westminster, and whether prioritising independence should be raised straight off the bat.

    With Mark Drakeford’s admission that he thinks the Prime Minister should step down, the team ponder what the near future holds for Kier Starmer and Andy Burnham.
