  • Episode 39: Fiona Hughes... Away from the castle!
    Mar 7 2026

    Earlier this year Swansea's Fiona Hughes became a national celebrity after appearing on BBC's The Traitors. The hit show's first Secret Traitor was at the centre of a viewer's guessing game and, once revealed, she quickly put the proverbial cat among the pigeons... which led to her explosive departure from the series.

    Since then, the former Swansea Council worker has retired and there's been few newspapers, magazines, radio stations, television shows or social media that haven't wanted to talk Traitors with her.

    So, given just short of 30 minutes in Fiona's busy schedule, Jack and Ant fancied mixing it up a bit. Instead of the Traitors questions that had been aired elsewhere, they instead delved into Fiona's upbringing in the city, her love of the Swans and where she'd like her celebrity status to take her.

    There's a little bit of Traitors, but we hope you enjoy hearing a little bit about Fiona herself.

  • Episode 38: Summer Treharne... Here comes Summer!
    Feb 18 2026

    2026 promises to be a busy year for Summer Treharne... the Swansea teenager who "never wanted to do anything else but sing!". Immediately on the horizon for the singer / songwriter is Croeso Fest - a weekend St David's celebration across the city from 28 February to 1 March. Then, on 7 March, Cardiff's Immersed Festival has her booked to perform.

    Not that such high-profile gigs are anything new for the 19-year-old music student - as she's been performing since she was a toddler, including with Swansea's Stage Coach drama group. And, with her guitar and own material, she's already headlined The Bunkhouse and entertained at the city's Arena's coffee shop sessions.

    Sitting down with Jack and Ant, she discussed the musical influences that have shaped her, the inspirations behind her lyrics, moments of self-doubt and how her course at the University of South Wales has further developed her talents.

    With an online EP released, Summer can often be seen at live music venues across Swansea - keep an eye out for her... but in the meantime, sit back and enjoy the story so far!

  • Episode 37 - Dylan Evans... Head chef at Morgans!
    Jan 21 2026

    After a longer than planned Christmas break, Jack and Ant return - and are joined by Dylan Evans, the head chef at Swansea's prestigious Morgans Hotel. Dylan, was a picky eater as a youngster, but he told the boys what led him to train for the hospitality sector and how his career path has taken him around South Wales, into Europe and back to Adelaide Street.

    Also a big Swans fan, Dylan gave an insight into the planning of the city's legendary Beaujolais Day celebrations, the pressure of wedding days and how he'd love to prepare and serve up some kangaroo.

    It's not all highs - the podcast includes redundancy and Covid hitting Dylan personally and the hospitality sector at large - but here's about 45 minutes with a guy who's now loving life, both at work and at home with his family.

    There's a few issues with Ant's mic - sometimes making him sound like he's swimming under water. Hopefully these don't detract from your enjoyment!

  • Episode 36 - With Carolyn Harris MP
    Dec 16 2025

    After more weeks off than they had planned for, Jack and Ant are back - and they are joined by Carolyn Harris, the MP for Neath and Swansea East. An MP since 2015, Carolyn is again championing the "Everyone Deserves A Christmas" campaign that she helped initiate. The charity provides food hampers filled with festive essentials to struggling families and individuals, ensuring they experience the joy of Christmas.

    Carolyn talked with the boys about how the campaign has grown from a small kitchen effort to around 1,600 hampers being distributed this Christmas across areas such as Swansea, Neath, and Merthyr Tydfil.

    As well as the campaign, Carolyn gave some insight into life as an MP, told how she accidentally disrupted the Prime Minister's official tree lights switch on, discussed whether she would stand at the next General Election, and put herself up for a Strictly Come Dancing appearance.

    You won't find anything in this one about fiscal policy, neither will you hear any rubbishing of political rivals - but you may just enjoy hearing how a Swansea woman operates at the heart of the UK Government.

  • Episode 35 - The one with no guest!
    Nov 26 2025

    Well it was bound to happen... the scheduled guest dropped out at the last minute and so it was left for Jack and Ant to either have a chat for half an hour or to leave it for a week.

    Given Jack's away at Cardiff School of Journalism and Ant was going to be ringing him for a catch up anyway, they decided to just record it and pop it out as this week's podcast.

    Amongst the topics covered were Christmas curry nights, meeting Dr Who(s), global excitement that Ant had gone out and had a pint, and Jack's venture into Cardiff's five-a-side scene.

    This one may not be for everyone - and no grudges are held if it's not - but, likewise, it may help you through a short car journey on these dark November days!

  • Episode 34 - Dan Brooks... The Canadian Adventure!
    Nov 6 2025

    Dan Brooks was a criminal solicitor in Swansea and a (half) decent player for Mumbles RFC. But, in 2024, he packed both in, filled a suitcase with clothes and other bits, and set off to Canada to fulfil an ambition of experiencing a different lifestyle.

    Landing in Canada he had no plan, no accommodation and no job - so it was clear he needed to get a few things sorted... and quickly!

    During the 12 months that have followed he has flipped eggs for hungry fast food diners, captured and castrated young bulls, and undertaken a baby-sitting role with difference!

    In this episode, Dan (the voice of our podcast intro) chatted to Jack and Ant about the highs and lows of life across the Atlantic - and he offered a little advice to anyone brave enough to up sticks and do something similar!

  • Episode 33 - Mike Lewis... He bought the Swans for a quid!
    Oct 15 2025

    In March 1998, Mike Lewis joined Swansea City as commercial director. In his time at the club he oversaw a dramatic increase in commercial income, introduced Cyril The Swans, and paid a pound to buy the club from Neil McClure. But Mike's was not a happy time at the the helm - the money was running out fast, he was physically attacked at the ground by club supporters who wanted him out and he sold the club on... to Tony Petty.

    From there it was on to Exeter City - where he was arrested and then faced court proceedings that ended with community service, while the chairman went to prison.

    By his own assessment, Mike is a football nomad. He started his football career at his beloved Newport County, hit the heights at Spurs (where he negotiated their first shirt sponsorship with Holsten), worked at Reading and then Fulham under Mohamed Al-Fayed.

    In his first full - and open - interview since the court case, Mike sat down with Jack and Ant to look back at the highs, lows and regrets of his life in football boardrooms.

  • Episode 32: Steff Burn... Making music from experiences!
    Oct 1 2025

    Steff Burn is no ordinary singer/songwriter! Aged two he underwent several hours of surgery to rebuild his skull - and the scars that the operation left brought many an unkind comment during his school years.

    Neurodiverse and diagnosed with ADHD, the Swansea student has battled his way through the local music scene to become a regular and respected member of the local gig circuit. His talents (and bare-faced cheek) prompted Libertines' frontman Pete Doherty to invite Steff to open for him and Steff was back on the Bunkhouse bill recently with other city bands The Stray Pursuit, Freefall and ZATNM.

    Steff's lyrics come from his own experiences - they are sometimes gritty, raw and about topics unlikely to find their way onto pop radio playlists. But that's not what Steff Burn is looking for. It's not what he's about. He won't trade his authenticity for passing popularity.

    In a podcast that was a lot of fun to record, Steff tells Jack and Ant all about his first guitar, how his personality changes when he steps out on stage, his relationship with his mother, and of his EP hopes for the future.

    It's all here - well almost! What happened in Margate - unfortunately - stays in Margate!
