In this first episode of the bilingual Siarad Siop - Shop Talk podcast, Heulwen Davies, Director of marketing and PR company Llais Cymru chats to young entrepreneur Rhodri Lewis from Carmarthenshire about his new business ‘Arwain’.

We’ll discover if starting a business in Wales in this current financial climate is brave or simply plain silly! We’ll discover the support available for young entrepreneurs and question if it’s fair that the under 30’s have access to more funding than others.

We’ll also discover the financial and practical support available for Welsh speakers through the Llwyddo’n Lleol and Arfor programmes, and question if it’s unfair that Welsh speakers in Wales get more business support than those who don’t speak the language.

Siarad Siop - The Welsh version and Shop Talk, the English version is a podcast series by Ffenest Siop, which is a bilingual service by Llais Cymru.
