I'm just through Part 1, and I love it. I didn't know what to expect, and this weird whimsical tale is a delightful surprise. I visited Aberystwyth about 30 years ago, and I don't remember it being anything like this! How times change!
Had to catch a bus from Swansea back in the day, I didn’t know how to pronounce Aberystwyth, it came out as Abar-sway-ith. Bus driver just looked at me !
I visited Aberystwyth 40 years ago. It was a beautiful place and Welsh is a melodious language. I loved listening to folks chatting in Welsh in the shops, although they courteously switched to English when it was my turn. Once I was shopping for vegetables and the brussel sprouts were labeled "English sprouts", which I found both amusing and appropriate.
🥰Fantastic stuff, I lived in wales in the mid-seventies and I love the Welsh sense of humour, it's great the way Aberystwyth has been turned into a kind of fifties Chicago, I really enjoyed the narrators' delivery, great entertainment, I've only read one other book that does that, and it's called The lost treasures of the Templars (The hounds of God book 1) by James Becker, which turns Dartmouth and the south-west in general, into a high octane international chase for the truth, great book, but the location made me smile as I live very close to Dartmouth, and you'd be lucky to do the high speed car chases at more than 40-50 miles per hour, it's a sleepy little place but over all was a good read. Thanks, I look forward to more in the future.

Thank you for this! I discovered the books some time ago and loved them ever since. Diolch! 👍

Thank you
Great idea and really funny. Love it 🥰
What is the music that plays at 1:14:15? Some part of my brain says Grieg, the the rest of it doesn't know why.
the music at about 1:19: sounds like a bass line from a Zappa instrumental.
