My name’s Cai Morgan and this is Welsh Waves. I’ve always been curious as to where Wales fits in in the world and in this podcast I hope to find out the answer. I’ll be doing this by exploring our culture, sport and language with some special guests- folk who I believe are shaping our future on the global stage. I’ll also offer the odd essay episode which you might enjoy, something a little different where I’m going to do some solo-deep dives into some Cymru history and culture. Mwynewch! / Enjoy!

Dan's Muckhole and the Maverick Pitmaster 'Dai Ponty'

Apr 01 2023 28 mins  
This week I've written a short essay on an old coal mine called 'Dan's Muckhole', and its crazy owner 'Dai Ponty'.

Everyone feared Dan's Muckhole and its u
