Céad Míle Fáilte,
This is once again Todd. In today’s issue we have new episodes of our own Irish & Celtic Music Podcast & Sci-Fi Pub Songs and Stories. We have also included new episodes of the Travelling in Ireland Podcast as well as Celt in a Twist. Two of our articles I have included may be a slight bit out of date as they are things to do on Valentine’s Day in both Ireland & Scotland; but they would make great date ideas at any time. We also have articles about everyone getting along and something that has been “occurring” in Wales for 100 years. We hope you enjoy this week’s episode.

BBC: WHAT'S BEEN ‘OCCURRING' IN WALES FOR 100 YEARS
- It started with a sing-song as it so often does in Wales and part of its legacy is the phrase ‘what's occurring?' and the world's most famous doctor.
But the BBC in Wales hasn't just given us shows like Gavin and Stacey and Doctor Who, it's covered the most important events in the country's history.
As Monday marks the 100th anniversary of the BBC's first broadcast in Wales, I've looked in the archives to find its most significant moments since 1923.
