  • 108. Bill Frost - The First Man to Fly
    Jan 26 2025

    The Welsh have often been the first to achieve great feats but thanks to the multiple shoe in's we've taken as a country over the years, news of these achievements tends not to travel far.

    Well kiss your mammies and thank your lucky stars because Tales for Wales is here to set the record straight. Whether it's discovering tarmac, America or how to sail upon the wind, you'll find the Cymry are always pushing the envelope.

    You can flaunt your Welsh history prowess as well as your podcast taste by grabbing some of our merch. We've got extra content on our socials and Patreon and all you spoilt buggers.

  • 107. The Mold Riots of 1869
    Jan 19 2025

    Working class riots and Wales, name a better duo am I right? But while the place in question shares a name with gone off bread, what's really rotten is the exploitation of Wales and her resources.

    Yeah that's right, a critique of capitalism using a bread analogy, God we are good.

    Speaking of capitalism, why don't you take part and buy our sick merch? Or just give us money for extra nuggets of content?

  • 106. Harlech Castle
    Jan 12 2025

    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.

    Dec 29 2024

    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.
