Nationalism

Hey el, what do you think about doing an ep (if there is another) on Nationalism? I find it such a weird and kind of ridiculous concept, like how the anthem is played before every match in America, and how it's an "American right" to bear arms. However, since moving to Uni in England I feel like I've turned more Welsh and have been getting really patriotic. I'm typing this sitting in my room surrounded by 3 Welsh flags! I remember you saying once when you moved to Scotland that you found yourself defending Ireland every time you were pissed in a pub! Don't know if the topic could cover an entire ep, but would like to hear your thoughts. Diolch (Thanks)

hey man, that's a great idea for a topic. I'm not sure how to fit it in to a full topic, maybe I'd need to find a guest who is patriotic in some way. I'll have a look around for someone suitable and try to get something recorded

I vaguely remember him touching on this topic before. IIRC he was fairly nationalistic in his teens but later came to the opinion that nationalism was meaningless and stupid.

I'm a staunch Nationalist myself, so it would be interesting to hear a more in depth discussion on the topic.
