Show notes

The day of Wales' patron saint is fast approaching and being as those Anglo-fascists next door won't let the good people of Cymru have a day off for it to get merry we thought the least we could do is have another go at educating the masses on the day's namesake.

Hit play and revel in the miracles of the good Dewi Sant. Yes, one of them is another bastard healing spring.

111. Welsh True Crime: Operation Seal Bay Feb 16, 2025

Luckily, we're here to shed some light on this exact subject and talk about how small time law enforcement took down some big time, drug dealing crims.

Merch, extra Patreon content and socials await you, just a click away.
