You're about to listen to a BBC podcast and I'd like to tell you a bit about the

podcast I work on. I'm Dan Clark and I commissioned factual podcasts at the BBC.

It's a massive area but I'd sum it up as stories to help us make sense of the forces shaping the world.

What podcasting does is give us the space and the time to take brilliant BBC journalism

and tell amazing compelling stories that really get behind the headlines.

And what I get really excited about is when we find a way of drawing you into a subject

you might not even have thought you were interested in.

Whether it's investigations, science, tech, politics, culture, true crime, the environment,

you can always discover more with a podcast on BBC Sounds.

You're listening to BBC Sounds. Yeah, so Wales kicked off their Six Nations campaign?

Yes, they did out in France, down there in Montpellier, amazing atmosphere in that stadium. I was lucky enough to be

there commentating for the women's six nations website and amazing atmosphere, but fortunately not the result we were hoping for.

Yeah yeah and before even getting to the rugby the girls had a bit of an issue

getting literally getting to the game didn't they?

Yeah couldn't believe it. Their flight was cancelled

airport shut. They were lucky enough to be able to get another flight the next day

because you think there's a squad of 30 odd including management being able to find a flight last minute but they did they went up to London

stayed overnight did their shirt presentation in a London hotel

and then literally got on the plane got to the south of France oh and then literally got on the plane, got to the south of France.

Oh and then they couldn't even fly into Montpellier.

I'm not quite sure where they flew into but they had an hour and a half transfer

then down.
