I'm Cardiff born, Cardiff Bred, and when I dies, I'll be Cardiff dead.
I'm Charlotte Church, and this is my family.
As we get to the pub, your nana falls into the bush.
Terry's going, morning.
This photographer's run.
Get up.
Listen in on intimate and special conversations.
When you were three months old, I probably had a slice of bread a day.
I got through it because of you.
With the people I love the most.
Tomorrow never comes, yesterday's past.
The only time you actually got is to date.
Kicking back with the cards if I listen on BBC Sounds.

Hello and welcome to a brand new history podcast for people who don't like history, or at least people who forgot to learn any at school.
My name is Greg Jenner.
I'm a public historian, author and broadcaster, and I've spent the past decade making history fun for kids on the BBC comedy show horrible histories.
And now I'd like to do it for you.
In every episode, my guests and I will offer up a bluffers guide to a key bit of global history while making sure to keep it light and fun, like a space hopper filled with facts.
And today we're winding back the clock nearly 2000 years to get to grips with the angriest woman in ancient Britain, Queen Boudicca, who went toe to toe with a mite of Rome and very nearly made them look stupid.
