In February 1797, French troops landed on the Pembrokeshire coast in what would become Britain’s last invasion. But while military history often remembers generals and strategy, one Welsh woman changed the story forever.

This week, we explore the life of Jemima Nicholas — a local cobbler who, armed with little more than courage and a pitchfork, reportedly captured twelve French soldiers and became a national symbol of Welsh resistance.

Who was Jemima Nicholas? What really happened at Fishguard? And why has history so often sidelined women like her?

This is the story of rebellion, invasion, and the woman who refused to stand aside.

In this episode, we explore one of the UK’s most troubling miscarriages of justice — the case of the Newsagent Three.

Wrongfully convicted of murder in 1990, three men — including today’s guest, Michael O’Brien — spent years behind bars for a crime they did not commit. Their case would go on to expose serious flaws in the criminal justice system, from unreliable confessions to failures in evidence handling.

Michael joins us to share his story — from arrest and conviction to eventual release — and the lasting impact it’s had on his life.

This is a conversation about injustice, resilience, and the long road to truth.
