Carys Eleri is an actor, singer, entertainer, composer, writer, and more. She is known for prominent Welsh language TV roles, but is currently touring her award-winning self-penned neuroscience-infused solo comedy musical show. It was a conversation between Carys and host Dean that sparked the idea for this very podcast, so Carys gets to go first.

In this episode, we hear about the surreal challenges of a rural Welsh school education, how the non-conformist religious culture in Wales potentially led to some major scientific advancements, the practical hurdles of creating a ground-breaking solo show from scratch, the challenges of bi-lingual performing and coping with stress, the surprising dearth of support and recognition for Welsh literary history and culture, and some delightfully archaic terms for human genitalia.
