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.

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!

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!
