Full disclosure, that was me spelling it the wrong way by mistake, not noticing till it arrived on everyone's podcast feeds then going to change it and deciding it was probably funnier in the light of all the other Welsh people mentioned in that episode that I'd spelled it the Welsh way and looked like a funny joke - so just decided to leave it. Anyway, it's another Welsh-heavy episode this week. There was a UK census in 1981 but it was the question regarding Welsh speakers, and the rather disappointing answer it returned, that loomed large in Esyllt's life. We talk about lying about eating Weetabix, why women are being replaced with birds and consider talking about Bucks Fizz and then don't.We've got a BBC Radio Wales show coming up. We'll be covering 1999, 1997, 1984 and 1982 - Any memories of those years in particular? Let us know (before 19th April!)

St. David's Day with SIAN HARRIES
01:03:34|It's St David's Day!(Or it is on March 1st, so it slightly depends when you listen to this episode). Either way, we've decided to do an episode that is unambiguously and unashamedly Welsh. I mean, they ALL are really, but this time we're going to lean into it - and who better to talk about all things Dewi Sant than the superb Welsh comedy writer SIAN HARRIES!Sian is the co-writer of the hit BBC One comedy-drama Death Valley, Channel 4's Man Down, is one of the writers and stars of BBC One Wales' Tourist Trap and the S4C sketch show O'r Diwedd. She also co-presents The Froth Podcast with Rhod Gilbert. Sian talks us through some of the most miserable meals and uncomfortable costumes you've ever heard about, as well as a blow-by-blow account of the secondary school Eisteddfod experience. There's plenty of picking apart the difference between English-language and Welsh-language Wales, as well as Sian's selection for The Xennial Dome, lots of relevant Winter Olympic discussion and memories of looking sad in a shoe shop at the death of Princess Diana.Sian mentions a school Eisteddfod performance with Elis James - Don't forget you can hear his episode, live from the London Welsh Centre, here.You can get in touch with the show on imsonotoverit@gmail.com or contact us on one of the following...BlueSky: @imsonotoveritInstagram: @imsonotoveritTikTok: @imsonotoveritTheme music by Alex_Kizenkov from Pixabay.I'm So Not Over It is a Mighty Bunny Production.
