We're back again with another guest plucked from the bosom of Wales herself.

87. Adrian Street - The Exotic One
While we enjoy every subject we cover on this podcast, sometimes we find a subject so definitively "us" that we get very giddy about getting to share it with you. The Exotic Adrian Street is one such mad, larger than life subject. Whether you're a fan of The Attitude Era like us, or don't know your Ray Mysterio from your Hornswaggle, we urge you to hit play and delve into the madness that was this Welsh wrestlers life.

86. Welsh True Crime - The Red Bandits of Mawddwy
Another Sunday, another boozy jaunt into Wales' multifaceted history. This week we take a look at a bunch of crimson crooks, a group of ruby robbers, a collection of cherry coloured chancers. You get the idea. Hit play and find out why these boios were the scourge of a lawless Mawddwy back in the day. Like the bandits of old we'd also happily take your money, but unlike them we actually will give you something in return if you join our Patreon. Check it out you lovely bunch.
