Well that was a fascinating short article and podcast on the history of the Welsh language.
My grandad was from Cardiff - and Welsh always felt ancient and magical to me, so I loved this. The podcast starts with a great bit about some ancient Welsh laws that were written down at the time!

Exploring the Welsh language: a Bylines Network Podcast episode
There’s a fuss kicked up every time an English name for a Welsh landmark is replaced by the Welsh language name. Perhaps some awareness raising will help

I love this definition of translation by Daniel Hahn, from his book Catching Fire - A Translation Diary:
"Writing someone else's book, but backwards and in high heels"
I highly recommend this book to all translators (and to anyone who thinks AI can replace translators).
