Podcast features interview with Mark Drakeford but does not say his government paid for the series.

A Welsh Conservative spokesman said: "As we saw during the pandemic when Mark Drakeford and his ministers would address the media before the Senedd they profess to love, transparency is not something Labour is interested in.

"What Labour should be doing to keep Wales safe is fix the record-long NHS waiting lists," the spokesman said, adding: "not wasting time and money on a puff-piece podcast." "The first minister is front and centre of Labour's local election campaign, and it comes as a surprise that a podcast generating positive press stories about the party leader has been paid for by the Welsh government."
