is very good informative and amusing. Although this one has amusing terrible half arsed attempts at pronouncing Welsh words- this is ok and was always a challenge- but mispronunciation of Carmarthenshire which is essentially an English name was best .
This is the best podcast I've listened to in years. It's hilarious, informative and the only part I don't like is when the episode is over.
