  • Summary

  • "Wales is impossible. A country called Wales only exists because the Welsh invented it. The Welsh only exist because they invent themselves" - Gwyn Alf Williams


    They say it's probably the best podcast on the air about 'sir' Tom Jones, but failing that it's the best podcast on the true working-class history of Wales. We will tell you the bloody details, the riots, the revolutions, the bastards and the heroes of our history.

    The Merthyr Rising
    Jun 4 2024

    On our debut episode, we sit down with a local Merthyr lad to speak about a little event that happened 193 years ago - the first working-class revolution of Wales. Merthyr Rising, famed for being where the red flag first flew over the heads of the working classes, is purposefully misunderstood and sanitised in our history books.


    We're here to give you the full story, this wasn't a simple riot, the workers of Merthyr and the surrounding towns formed working-class revolutionary councils, seized weapons from the state and declared themselves independent of the bosses.
