Welsh types and fans thereof;

Does it annoy you that the millennia-old Welsh language is largely treated by the mainstream as an easy punchline, a waste of money, or a bureaucratic annoyance?

Smart Welsh People is the podcast for you

Welsh types;

Apparently, the only way Wales and its people can be portrayed on TV is in the context of someone non-Welsh moving here and being baffled by the ridiculous locals

The Smart Welsh People podcast provides a different story

@SmartWelshPod Welsh folk and Wales enthusiasts

If you tire of a rich, diverse and complex culture with a wealth of history being reduced to rugby, singing, drinking and tedious sheep references, the Smart Welsh People podcast tries to counter this crap

Basically, as an increasingly prominent neurobod and science pundit, I finally snapped at the endless mainstream portrayals of Welsh people solely as a nation of parochial, naive, clueless types, if not worse

That's not my experience of us, by any means

Perhaps the worst part of it is that, for various reasons, these unflattering Welsh stereotypes have been largely internalised. We reinforce them more often than not via our own outputs. That's something we should work on, I reckon
