Number 1: Reform in Wales are angry about flags…again
The summer is in the rear view mirror and the For Wales, See Wales gang are here to chow down on some serious politics chat. The team dive into the revelations from the undercover investigation into Reform as well as how they are using a two year old picture of some flags to provide a distraction. Will takes Mel and Robin through Plaid Cymru’s first three months leading the Welsh Government and asks whether they have done a good job so far? The trio also break down the decision to pause gender-affirming surgery referrals in Wales. 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.

Number 2: Why parents are protesting in Wales...
This week the For Wales See Wales trio are back in the studio! Robin shares his experience of speaking at an event outside the Senedd regarding paternity leave, or rather…the lack of! And Will makes an exciting announcement regarding a project he is part of to encourage more regional-focussed reporting in Wales.

Number 3: Wales engulfed in wildfires and are data centres actually a good thing?
Robin, Mel and Will talk about fires, data centres and second homes. As fire rage around Wales we ask why some politicians have divorced themselves from reality? The gang then looks at the masses of new data centres and breakdown the insane amount of electricity they are going to need. One planned centre will require more electricity than all of the solar power generated in Wales per year! Finally they talk about second homes, the huge impact they are having in Cymru and how the Welsh Government plan to tweak the rules.

Number 4: Inside Wales' biggest independent music festival
This week there is no Robin, however his seat is not empty. Sitting in is none other than Fiona Stewart! The director of Green Man Festival discusses why this annual event is a key week in the UK’s music calendar, and the opportunities it brings to further showcase Wales as the land of song. Will and Mel quiz Fiona on Green Man’s initiative for developing new artists, the impact the project has on the Welsh arts and how this can affect relationships with the local community.

Number 5: Reform in Wales are falling out with each other…
The gang are all back in the same room and the world is right again. This week Robin, Mel and Will are talking about hundreds of millions of pounds being spent on a Welsh bridge (which is often closed). They then discuss Dr Squeegee stepping away from his role in Reform as well as the fact that many in the Reform group seem to be falling out with each other.
