Swiss Preview, Turkey Squad and Friendlies Review
Dai and Ruth return with their preview podcast ahead of Wales' first game on Saturday next weekend. Before and after the match preview though, there is a lot to cover in this bumper episode. We start by discussing the recent friendlies. The 3-0 defeat to France ruined by an over zealous referee, and the lacklustre 0-0 draw with Albania, punctuated by the return of fans. We are grateful to James Evans (@galloisinfrance) for sharing his pre and most match thoughts from the stadium. It even included his rendition of the anthem and a chant about some bloke called Bale...... Following that we preview the Switzerland game - Wales' opening Group A match at Euro 2020. We discuss lineups, what may or may not happen, and Ruth fails dismally at some quick fire "yes or no" questions. We finish up by sharing Ruth's interview with Turkish football expert Ahmet Turgut. The pair discuss the Turkish squad, their star players and how their fans think they will fare once the footballing hostilities commence. Basically, ahead of Euro 2020, we've got your covered.

Squad Pod
Dai and Ruth return to run the rule over Wales' Euro 2020 squad. The predictions go out the window as Rubin Colwill gets the nod, alongside Dylan Levitt. No room for Lawrence, Hal, Matondo or Tom Lockyer who has been struggling with injury. All of this, and some of your tweets and reaction get mentioned too. From there we preview the France and Albania friendlies, before a quick club roundup after a very disappointing weekend for Wrexham and Swansea. We wish Newport luck, and instantly belittle the crazyness of their semi final playoff game, by discussing the Cymru Premier Europa League playoff. Caernarfon beaten 5-3 in a wild game, by Newtown.

CHAD Meets: Mark Evans
Dai and Ruth return with a pre euros special interview, with the FAW's Head of the International Department, Mark Evans. Mark, also known for creating the Merthyr fanzine Dial M For Merthyr, sat down and chatted about anything and everything. Euro 2016 and Dinard, who rooms with who, what do the players talk about, who are unlikely friends and which players we should (or shouldn't) be concerned about fitness wise ahead of the Euros. It was a highly entertaining hour, and very informative too, spent with one of the most influential people involved with Welsh football. I would highly recommend giving it a listen!
