Blueprint Cymru: building Wales' future

A stronger, more assertive Wales, leading by example makes our nation, one which is progressive, ambitious and which other countries look to for inspiration.

Blueprint Cymru is a podcast bringing new voices to Wales’ national conversation on how we build the ambition, bravery and creativity Wales must find to sculpt its our own future.

Through weekly interviews, New Wales co-founder, Simon Hobson and his guests set out to bringing fresh ideas to the challenges facing Wales.

Welsh figures making waves around the world

From economists and community organisers to paralympic gold medallists, Guinness World Record holders, educators, and leaders in politics, finance, tech, the cooperative movement and the media.

These voices reflect the global footprint of Welsh identity. They remind us that the story of Wales is not bound by geography, but kept alive in classrooms, boardrooms, industrial sites, sports and hearts around the world.

Blueprint Cymru, calls on us all to reimagine the Welsh future through bold conversation and inclusive dialogue.

Why Blueprint Cymru matters
The value of open, ambitious conversation cannot be overstated. Blueprint Cymru doesn’t just report on what’s happening, it asks who we want to be. It celebrates Welsh potential in all its forms and invites listeners to take part in building a Wales that works for everyone.

This is more than a podcast, it’s a movement. A blueprint not just for policy, but for people. And in the words of host Simon Hobson:
"Wales doesn’t need a lecture. It needs a conversation. One rooted in hiraeth, driven by hope and committed to change".
