Hugely sad to hear that @claireoshea.bsky.social passed away, she contributed so much, even in the most difficult times. Claire was a champion for better *everything* and we were proud to platform her campaign on the pod. A great campaigner and huge loss to family, friends, Wales, and beyond. RIP

An enlightening listen which hints at important questions for Welsh in education today and tomorrow, such as 'why doesn't education currently create Welsh speakers/users?' and 'to what extent can the education system alone create new speakers?' A pod on Welsh in education could be a neat follow up
