Comedy duo hit Swansea and Gower in new Pod of Wales travel series

Kiri Pritchard‑McLean and Esyllt Sears return for a third season of their travel‑meets‑comedy podcast, showcasing hidden gems across Cymru with their signature mix of banter, belly laughs and local love.

The Swansea & Gower episode sees the pair sample surfing in Caswell Bay, tuck into tapas at El Pescador, and explore the revamped Albert Hall food hall — which Kiri admits she’d never visited before.

Kiri said:

“I think this is my favourite season to date! Although I say that every season. We have the best time travelling to beautiful places. This is the best gig in the world.”

The duo also visit Glynn Vivian Gallery and Penderyn’s Swansea Copperworks Distillery, before heading west for a walk from Gower Heritage Centre to Three Cliffs Bay.

Esyllt said:

“I already know that Wales is the best and most beautiful country in the world, but throughout this series, Kiri and I are constantly discovering more reasons why this is.”

The podcast also features episodes from Flintshire to Denbighshire, the Llŷn Peninsula, Preseli Hills and Hay‑on‑Wye — with highlights including a ceramics class in a treehouse, a boujee dinner in Portmeirion, and a Marmite butter mix‑up in Hay.

Pod of Wales is available now on all major podcast platforms.

At 10 minutes past midnight this morning, I was stood in the water at Three Cliffs Bay! The water was warm and being in the water meant my legs weren't bombarded by sandhoppers (yeuk!) Standing under the stars, watching occasional flashes of bioluminescence really is a privilege and I enjoyed every second.

I went out to Three Cliffs Bay last night - the high altitude clouds and the low level mist in the distance made very interesting conditions. Above the bay is Orion's Belt and the brighter stars are Sirius, Aldebaran, Betelgeuse and there is also Mars! The green is a natural phenomenon called airglow.
