<![CDATA[Tu Hwnt I'r Llen / Beyond The Stage]]>Beyond The Stage / Y Tu Hwnt I’r Llen is a podcast about the people behind the performances. We talk about the shows, TV and films guests have worked on, the realities of the job and life as a performer — but also what happens when the curtain falls and the cameras stop rolling.

From new careers and businesses to creative ventures and life beyond the spotlight, we explore what creatives do next. Through a Welsh and LGBTQ+ perspective, we'll also explore the Welsh and English creative industries, Welsh language and culture, alongside my own experiences as a creative and in interior design.

A bilingual podcast with conversations in Welsh, English and both, with subtitles and translations available across episodes.
