Episode 262 - Healing the Valleys, Medicine in Wales

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 06:00:00 -0000

A time before the NHS, before universal care, before the idea that healthcare might be something guaranteed. And yet, in this period, we begin to see something remarkable.

In 41 CE, Rome did something unexpected. It made an emperor out of a man who had spent most of his life being ignored.

That man was Claudius.

Episode 261 - 1905, The Season That Made a Nation

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 06:00:00 -0000

By the early twentieth century, rugby was not simply popular in Wales. It was emotional infrastructure. It was civic ritual. And in 1905 a game between Wales and New Zealand would set Rugby Union at the heart of Welsh national pride.

Roman Britain Episode 7 - Britannia Divisa

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0000

Because we have so little written history it might seem that Britain was relatively static in the Iron Age. Britain, however, was not frozen in time. It was dynamic. And that dynamism, that competition between kingdoms and elites, created the conditions that made Roman intervention possible.

Episode 260 - Daughters of Cambria: The Welsh Women’s Movement

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0000

For centuries, the history of Wales was written as a history of men—of coal miners, ironmasters, and preachers. But by the 1880s, a quiet revolution was brewing in the valleys and coastal towns. Welsh women were no longer content to be the "angels of the hearth."

Episode 259 - The National Voice

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0000

Between 1900 and 1914, Wales was not simply becoming modern. Wales was arguing about what modernity meant, and whether it had to come at the cost of Welsh language, Welsh institutions, and Welsh identity. Some of that argument happened in Parliament, through bills, speeches, and legislation. Some of it happened in newspapers, in chapels, at eisteddfodau, and in reading rooms. And some of it happened in verse, in voice, and in shared chorus.

Episode 257 - The First Modern British Conflict - The Boer War

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0000

Today we turn to a conflict that shaped the final years of the Victorian era and left deep marks on towns and villages across Wales. The Boer War, fought between 1899 and 1902, was a clash between the British Empire and the two Boer republics in South Africa. It was a conflict of imperial ambition, political controversy and human tragedy, and Wales was deeply involved in all of it.
