“Speaking Welsh is vibrant and cool”

United Zingdom - A podcast by BBC Sounds

“People have had to really fight to keep the language alive, which is why it’s vibrant now”. Zing heads to Cardiff to meet Lisa Angharad, host of possibly the first ever sex podcast in Welsh – Siarad Secs. Lisa wants to provide young Welsh speakers with frank, open discussions “in the language they have sex in and have those chats with their mates in”. Lisa is also a singer and says that a love of music, singing and harmonising is at the heart of Welsh identity: “If you’re happy, joyous, grieving, whatever – music is something we gravitate towards”. She's proudly Welsh, and doesn't feel "an ounce British" - she tells Zing why.
