The Reason Why

Welcome to Cornwall, a land of contradictions. Seamas Carey takes a deep dive look at the social issues, hidden history and culture wars of contemporary Cornwall. The podcast made national newspaper headlines in February 2022, when Tim Smit made inflammatory comments about “the Cornish”. During the 10 episode series, Seamas talks identity, rural racism and xenophobia with both household names and historically unheard voices. From second-home owners to Cornish nationalists, Black Voices Cornwall to Cornwall’s transgender community – he asks; what does it mean to belong?
