The Phone InAvailable for 29 days
John-Paul Davies with Friday's Phone In... What does Easter mean to you? From religious celebrations to secular gatherings, the bank holiday weekend marks a time when many of us come together. If you have a particular way of marking Easter, then please let us know. Who should pay for our museums? There’s a plan afoot in England to charge international tourists to access permanent collections at national museums. Wales’s national museum sites are free to enter. But last year, members of the Senedd held a debate around the idea charging for access to exhibitions here. And a trial charge of £8 for the underground tour at the Big Pit National Coal Museum in Blaenavon has been criticised by some. So should all museums be free at the point of entry? And in search of the Abominable Snowman - Cardiff University sociologist – Dr Jamie Lewis – has been talking to those who have collected evidence linked to the existence of Big Foot. Big Foot has been a cultural icon since 1967, when grainy footage was captured of a tall, ape-like figure walking upright in California. So from Big Foot and the Beast of Boncath, to Big Shuck and the Loch Ness Monster, have you ever spotted a creature of legend in the wild? Call or WhatsApp 03700 100 110 or Text 8 10 12. Be part of the nations' conversation.
