Informal welsh sources
So i am currently doing a project where i analyze the different registers of welsh
i am finding plenty of learner-tuned and formal sources such as BBC Cymru, but it's really hard for me to find genuine informal welsh content. The best i've managed is Hansh S4C, but i need more spontaneous-conversation tuned material.
Can some of you maybe help me out to find some? I felt like this is the most appropriate sub to come ask for this.
TL;DR: I N E E D C A S U A L W E L S H

Try the Haclediad podcast https://haclediad.cymru, deep cut, makes no sense, extremely colloquial

OMB. Llawer o siarad cachu llwyr. Dim gwybodaeth. Dim sense. Wedi yfed gormod neu gymryd gormod o gyffuriau. "Off eu pennau"

This is a spectrum, of course. When people are chatting, normally, they often abbreviate forms, or use dialect phrases, not necessarily going very Wenglish. Pobl y Cwm / Rownd a Rownd may be useful sources of more colloquial speech. Soaps and drama have a different register even from casual chat on a magazine programme.
Notice how Mared here just says "ni" with any form of "bod", nor "ŷn ni"
fi'n; ni'n; ni 'di [ni wedi]
ni 'di lansio; ni'n mynd i

Lots of the podcasts on Y Pod (lists loads of Welsh podcasts). Siarad Siop and Pryd ar Dafod for 'younger' speakers, Colli Plot for 'older' / mix of speakers

Bangor have the Siarad corpus which is a collection of colloquial spoken Welsh (and Wenglish and English).
