It's the first episode of our new series 'Alternative Wales Meets' where we chat to interesting people involved in Welsh football, music, culture and beyond - and our first guest is Emily Ash Powell.
Emily Ash Powell is the author of Hurdling, a newsletter where she interviews writers, creatives and interesting people about their hurdles - but she's also a proud Bridgend girl and a new and impressive contributor to Alternative Wales. She sat down with Ryan and Greg to discuss her career, losing her Welsh accent, being a creative in London whilst retaining her Welshness and plenty more.
