In an episode we recorded before the most recent gob-smacking revelations about the prince formerly known as Andrew, this week we delve into the age-old question of is it worth having a royal family?

Are they fundamentally different to normal mortals, or are they just the same as us but rolled in glitter?

What, if anything, do they contribute to the country and would the whole shebang collapse if we got rid of them?

Did old Oliver Cromwell have the right idea when he snipped off King Charlie’s bonce?

The peasants are revolting.

Yes, they are!

And because we’re feeling generous we’ve got a particularly gooey Wenglish Word of the Week, and a couple of rebellious cultural moments.

Do you know all the words to Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau?

Have you ever seen Tom Jones live?

Have you got a tattoo of your mam’s bara brith recipe?

Did you go to school with any of the following?:

Kelly Jones

Ioan Gruffudd

Gareth Bale

Michael Sheen

Ruth Jones

Owain Glyndŵr

Merlin

God (yes, she is Welsh!)

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the above questions, chances are you’re WELSH, so well done, da iawn, you’re winning at life!

Rhianydd and Morgan answered ‘yes’ to all of those questions, so this week we’re maxing out our Welshness to mark Dydd Gwyl Dewi (St David’s Day). We’ll be reminiscing about St David’s Days of yore and considering what unique qualities set the Welsh apart as a nation.

To top it all we’ve got a classic Wenglish Word of the Week, and the usual perfectly chosen cultural moments. Just because we care.

It’s a many-splendoured thing.

It’s all you need.

It’s like oxygen.

Rhianydd feels it in her fingers and - strangely - Morgan feels it in his toes.

What are we talking about? Well it’s LUURRRVE of course!

What is it? Why do we feel it? How many kinds are there?

Join Morgan and Rhianydd as we ponder this one out, sharing our insights and marvelling at the wisdom of those clever buggers the ancient Greeks, who seem to have had it all sorted out millennia ago.

And on top of all that we’ll be treating you to a brand new Wenglish Word of the Week, as well as sharing our cultural highlights of the week gone by.

Following last episode’s bombshell announcement that Morgan wants to be less of a people pleaser and more of a people displeaser, happily going around telling people exactly what he thinks of them, this week we ask the question...

‘Is it ever ok to lie?’

From teeny-tiny white lies through to humongous whoppers that make your nose grow longer than a Valleys terrace, we consider the pros and cons of telling fibs.

Surely sometimes it’s better to, er, bend the truth a little?:

‘Does my bum look big in this?’

‘Mammy where do babies come from?’

‘Why weren’t you in the team meeting last night, Rhianydd?’

Are these questions we should ever answer truthfully?

Or, do we owe it to people to tell them the honest truth if they ask for it?

Hmmm, it’s a tricky one!

So pop your headphones in, tell your other half that you’re listening to that other podcast that they’ve been telling you about, and cwtch up with us.

Plus, we’ve got the best ever Wenglish Word of the Week and unmissable Cultural Moments. HONESTLY NOW, MUN!

Happy New Year everyone!, or as we say in Wenglish, “‘Appy New Yer, But!”

So it’s January again - a time for reflection; a time for plans and promises; a time for standing on the bathroom scales and silently weeping.

And as Morgan and Rhianydd emerge blinking into the grey light of dawn from their Christmas debaucheries it’s time to consider what 2026 holds in store, whether it’s getting fit, changing jobs, or learning a new skill. Why do we make New Year’s Resolutions, and do we ever keep them?

Maybe you’re doing Dry January? (we’re not!)

Maybe you’re doing Veganuary? (nope!)

As well as this, instead of joining the gym we’re bringing you another classic Wenglish Word of the Week, and of course we’ve got some fabulous cultural moments to tickle your jaded palates.

Spoiling you, we are see.

So take off your daps, grab your zero alcohol beer and cwtch up with us.

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, God rest ye merry gentlemen, We’re walking in the air...

It’s Chriiiiiissstmaaaaaaaaas!

Yes, the season of joy and good cheer is upon us once again and it’s gone all Dickensian in WCITJ Towers as Morgan Cratchitt and Rhianydd Scrooge meet once again over a thimbleful of eggnog to share a box of chocolate-covered sprouts and put the world to rights.

This Yuletide we ponder such timeless teasers as, is it better to give or to receive (quiet in the cheap seats!)? When’s the right time to open your pressies? And what’s the best Christmas song ever (clue - it’s not by bloody Cliff Richard!)?

We share some childhood Christmas memories and Rhianydd challenges Morgan with some frankly bizarre examples of 19th century Christmas cards. Think the Victorian Christmas was all about plum pudding and hot toddies? Think again!

And because Christmas is a time for giving we’re spoiling you with TWO Wenglish Words of the Week, and a couple of properly cultural cultural moments for your delight and delectation.

Nadolig Llawen pawb!

As winter draws in and we put our winter drawers on, Rhianydd and Morgan like to gather round the fire to tell each other stories that have been handed down for generations (or more likely we’ve just found on the interweb).

It’s an age-old human need, to banish the cold and dark with tales of long ago; tales of gods, monsters, princesses, knights in shining armour and bloody huge dogs with big sharp fangs that terrorise the life out of hapless travellers on the dark highway…

Cwtch up with us as we share our favourite stories, and prepare to shed a tear or two over one of Wales’s most famous - and heartbreaking - legends. You’ll probably need to console yourselves with a sherry and a mince pie or two, so go and crack a bottle open while we get comfy.

As well as tales we also have another wonderful Wenglish Word of the Week for you, and a poignant cultural moment.

Was life better B what? What are these whimsical Welsh wallies on about now?

Well, for the uninformed, ‘BI’ = Before Internet!

You’d have to be over thirty (or possibly even as old as Morgan and Rhianydd) to remember such halcyon days: days when if you wanted to find something out you had to … look in a book!; days when if you wanted to buy cinema tickets you had to … go and queue up!; days when if you had to drive somewhere you had to… (gasps)...read a bloody map!

We had patience! We had resourcefulness! We had critical thinking skills!

Think of what we miss out on now that we have the answers at our fingertips: whole nights in the pub arguing whether it was ‘Robert thingummy’ or ‘Al whatshisname’ in ‘that film’, and wait a minute ‘is he still alive anyway?’. Or the joys of waiting for the bus in the rain, wondering whether it would even turn up, with no way of finding out…

Hmmm. Maybe life BI wasn’t all it’s cracked up to be after all.

So yes, this week Morgan and Rhianydd debate the pros and cons of t’interweb, what we’ve lost and what we’ve gained. And what we would have done with it if it had been a thing in 1987 (nothing good in Rhianydd’s case, it turns out).

And no, the irony of the fact that we can only do this podcasting lark because of the world-wide-net, or whatever the young people are calling it these days, isn’t entirely lost on us.

There’s a pungent Wenglish Word of the Week, and if we can’t think of a cultural moment, we’ll just pop on chatgpt to help us out. No one will notice.
