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.

Hello and welcome to this week's support.

It's been a weekend which has seen some very high scoring games and some very high

record-breaking in fact crowd numbers to England against Wales one occasion

that was a King's home and as the tournament takes a break this week we look

at the significant growth in not just crowd numbers but in

interest as well with the brilliant Ali Donnelly the woman who founded the

Scrum Queen's website Phil Petitiet and Alicia Butches before turning our attention to what was also a packed out Cardiff Arms Park,

though that result wouldn't have pleased the home fans.

Nicki Robinson will be back to chat through all the weekends action.

Welcome to the Scrum5 podcast.
