Siôn T. Jobbins reads the article from his anthology 'The Phenomenon of Welshness - or, How many Aircraft Carriers would an Independent Wales have?' based on the experience of the failed project to create a daily Welsh-language newspaper, Y Byd.* 'The Phenomenon of Welshness - or, How many Aircraft Carriers would an Independent Wales have?' - https://carreg-gwalch.cymru/collections/sion-jobbins * Gwnewch Bopeth yn Gymraeg - https://www.ylolfa.com/products/9781847717511/poster-gwnewch-bopeth-yn-gymraeg  (buy the iconic poster 'Do Everything in Welsh' )* ‘Prydeindod’ - J.R.
