Mutual Assured Conversation

Luke and Nick are joined by Sarah Williamson and Callum Hughes to get a little philosophical on the question "What is Wales?"

Luke and Nick consider how Welsh independence could emerge and consider the nature of the campaigns advocating and opposing the idea.

This is intended to be the first of a series of podcasts looking at Welsh independence. Other topics will be mixed in along the way.

Luke and Nicolas discuss the National Assembly for Wales changing name to Welsh Parliament and whether the re-brand matters? They also talk about what other steps the institution needs to take to come of age and consider the speed of progress (or lack thereof) over the last twenty years.

Luke and Nicolas run the risk of sounding like grumpy old men while discussing how Twitter isn't like it used to be. 

Luke and Nicolas discuss election campaign hustings with a moderately amusing anecdote or two along the way.

A discussion on local government reform (primarily in Wales). Also includes a moan about the politically choreographed council tax rise debates we get every flipping year. As Luke acknowledges "it's not the sexiest topic, I'll give you that"!
