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.

A strong, stiff but cooling breeze from the Mediterranean.

We're on the shore.

We're near the sea.

Genuinely, Niece reminds me so much of Swansea Bay.

Because the geography is so similar in this big, long bay that goes for miles. On the right hand side

behind this is the airport picture. Swansea Bay that's where mumbles is and

then it wraps the whole way around until you see the hills where the university new buildings are

and those are the mountains that separate France from Monaco and then further on to Italy.

And I'm gonna call it

Swansea Beach is better than this beach. It's all about the weather for me.

What I mean is surface is very yeah we very yeah yeah we yeah Yeah, that's the only bad thing And it you want the nice soft sand underneath your feet not this the big pebbles are we're standing on.
