48. János Arany and The Bards of Wales

Ever been sat at the pub and thought "well golly gosh, what I would give for a bard to be strumming his lyre and giving us a song while I drink my pint"?

Well tough shit because the royal form of bardic tradition in Wales ended in the 13th century thanks to some stroppy English king. If that fact leaves you as miffed as it did us, hit play and listen to us dedicate an episode to the forgotten Welsh students of rhyme and verse and a top notch Hungarian bloke who immortalised them in a poem.

Write a poem of praise or a satirical stanza about us and post it to our socials.

Roses are red, violets are blue, support the pod, chuck us a quid or two.
