Speaking Welsh
Catherine Fletcher explores Cymraeg, the Welsh language, with writer RIchard King, novelist and TV writer Caryl Lewis, Dr Elen Ifan and composer and performer Seiriol Davies.
TV shows Hinterland and Hidden are bilingual using Welsh and English. Caryl Lewis, who has written scripts for these TV dramas and award-winning novels, joins Catherine Fletcher for an exploration of Cymraeg, the Welsh language. We hear from Richard King, whose book Brittle with Relics is an oral history of Wales in the second half of the twentieth century, Dr Elen Ifan from Cardiff University, and composer, performer and actor Seiriol Davies, whose new musical Milky Peaks is set in the 'bosom of Snowdonia'.
