About Cardiff

Cardiff is the capital and largest city of Wales. Cardiff had a population of 383,919 in 2024 and forms a principal area officially known as the City and County of Cardiff. The city is the eleventh largest in the United Kingdom. Located in the southeast of Wales and in the Cardiff Capital Region, Cardiff is the county town of the historic county of Glamorgan and in 1974–1996 of South Glamorgan. It belongs to the Eurocities network of the largest European cities. A small town until the early 19th century, its prominence as a port for coal when mining began in the region helped its expansion. In 1905, it was ranked as a city and in 1955 proclaimed capital of Wales. The Cardiff urban area covers a larger area outside the county boundary, including the towns of Dinas Powys and Penarth.

  4. We're having a great time this time around. We record a new podcast every time we do a show, and we have lots of little nerdy, extra never-before-seen bits in between. We are going to be in Cardiff, in Londontown, and in Manchester very soon. We are in Cardiff on the 16th of October, London on the 23rd and the 24th, and Manchester on the 27th. That is correct.
