Tales for Wales: A Welsh History Podcast

Latest Episodes:

106. Harlech Castle Jan 12, 2025

Show notes

While the people of Wales can certainly be credited with spicing up the great nation's history, what is more synonymous with this green and pleasant land than a bloody good castle.

And where better to start than with the banger of the 1830's that is "Men of Harlech" and the castle that inspired it. Come with us and hear why this diva of a fortress was worth singing about.

Ever been called an unfashionable pig who doesn't flaunt enough Welshness? Well you can turn that around by buying our gorgeous merch. Or just check out our extra content you dogs.

Throwback Thursday: Twm Siôn Cati - Fiend and Scoundrel of Wales Jan 09, 2025

Show notes

This week we're offering a snippet of one of our favourite episodes about a sly little bastard that seemed to be a genuine knob to all that encountered him, fair play to his PR team though.

We strongly recommend you give the full episode a listen and you can do that here.

105. The Return of Cambrian Chronicles Jan 05, 2025

Show notes

The Chronicler is back and this time he's answering our piercing questions interview style. It's the Frost/Nixon of Welsh history if literally all of the context was changed.

If you haven't already, get around this guys YouTube channel and start feeding your noggins on his top quality content.

From merch to more content, click here for all things Tales for Wales and start 2025 the way the Cymry of old would have wanted.

Throwback Thursday: Gwenllian - Welsh Warrior Princess Jan 02, 2025

Show notes

Even though we've once again clipped the most unrelated part of the episode (experiences from Glastonbury if you must know), we urge you to go listen to this one as Gwenllian is one of our faves.

Gwenllian in all her glory can be found here.

104. 2024 In Memoriam Dec 29, 2024

Show notes

Where does the time go, eh? Another year fades to memory as the spry chick of another hatches from its temporal egg. As New Year fast approaches we thought we'd go over some of the more significant events that happened in Wales throughout 2024 A.D. and just for a laugh we thought we'd go off topic a lot as well.

Looking for a new fashion sense to ring in 2025? One that says, "yeah, I'm a history podcast buff, deal with it"? Then boy do we have the merch for you.

Throwback Thursday: Boudica - Queen of the Celtic Revolt Dec 26, 2024

Show notes

This week we're heading back to Boudica, baby. Leader of the biggest Celtic revolt in Britannia, we honour her now with tales of nasty old teachers we had in school.

Full episode as always is a hoot and can be found here.

103. The Tales for Wales Xmas Party with Jake Abanos Dec 22, 2024

Show notes

Nadolig Llawen to all, sweet listeners. Join us in our revelry in these lazy days before Christmas and listen to some lesser known nibbles of Welsh Xmas history while you gear up for the big day.

We've got knowledge, we've got laughs and enough booze to send Jesus to death for at least 3 days.

It's too late to get our gorgeous merch for Xmas but perhaps you're in the market for a new years present?

Hit up our socials and Patreon for bonus material relating to a certain soiled pint in this episode.

Throwback Thursday: Caradog - The Celtic War Chief Dec 19, 2024

Show notes

Cast yourselves back once again dear friends to some hijinks of a time gone by. This episode was all about a Celtic war chief that led the Silurian's to war against the invading Romans and of course the clip is about something equally as important, the drinking antics at Download Festival.

Full episode here for all you keenos.

102. The Pit of Ghosts Dec 15, 2024

Show notes

This week we're delving back into Wales' mining history, the disaster at the Morfa Colliery and how it earned its spooky name.

Looking at your wardrobe and thinking "Gosh I wish I could announce to the world what podcasts I like through my fashion"? Check out our new merch and make yourself fabulous.

Treat yourself to some extra bits this Xmas through our socials and our Patreon.

Throwback Thursday: Celtic Wales Dec 12, 2024

Show notes

We're looking back once more, this time it's to an Iron Age Wales and the Cymro that inhabited it. As a taster though, we've got this clip of us reading out one of our earlier and much harsher reviews.

Full episode is but a click away.
