Customer Reviews
Great detailed History of Wales
Really enjoying this podcast. Always bothered me that very little Welsh History was taught in school and now this podcast is igniting my interest in History.
Complete nonsense
I’ve listened to a few episodes and there is very little factual information. The pronunciation of the Welsh language is appalling. The presenter needs to stick to American history and stop sounding twp.
Clear concise and conversational
I can’t believe I’ve only just found this podcast. As something be from England, and whose holidays and life has been going back and forth to Wales for 3 decades, this podcast is really helping my infatuation and curiosity with this land come together.
Keep it up Jonathan. :-)
