We, the King: Creating Royal Legislation in the Sixteenth-Century Spanish New World (Cambridge University Press, 2023) by Dr. Adrian Masters challenges the dominant top-down interpretation of the Spanish Empire and its monarchs' decrees in the New World, revealing how ordinary subjects had much more say in government and law-making than previously acknowledged. During the viceregal period spanning the post-1492 conquest until 1598, the King signed more than 110,000 pages of decrees concerning state policies, minutiae, and everything in between. Through careful analysis of these decrees, Dr. Masters illustrates how law-making was aided and abetted by subjects from various backgrounds, including powerful court women, indigenous commoners, Afro-descendant raftsmen, secret saboteurs, pirates, sovereign Chiriguano Indians, and secretaries' wives. Subjects' innumerable petitions and labor prompted – and even phrased - a complex body of legislation and legal categories demonstrating the degree to which this empire was created from the “bottom up”. Innovative and unique, We, the King reimagines our understandings of kingship, imperial rule, colonialism, and the origins of racial categories. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

This week’s revelations about James Dyson’s text messages to Boris Johnson have worsened the fog of sleaze and added to accusations that this Government is an opaque chumocracy. Is it possible to keep government “permeable” to valuable outside talent without opening it to backroom favours? Special guest Adrian Masters, Political Editor of ITV Cymru Wales, joins us to explain what could be Wales's closest Parliamentary election of the Devolution era. And how well did the Government play the football Super League fiasco?“The Government might see direct messages as a way of getting quick solutions in a crisis. But if you’ve got the PM’s mobile number, do you get better access than anyone else?” – Cath Haddon“Politicians are the least trusted people in the country, so it’s entirely possible that voters will dismiss this as ‘just what politicians do’.” – Tim Durrant“There’s a danger that we overreact and we don’t get those valuable outside skills because we’re trying to prevent unfair financial advantage.” – Cath Haddon“It feels like this steady flow of revelations is building into a public moment.” – Tim DurrantPresented by Bronwen with Cath Haddon, Tim Durrant and Akash Paun.

“Pedro Rengifo was a part-Indian, part-Spanish man from the La Paz area of what is today Bolivia, who around 1583 sailed from Lima for Madrid. He had an important message for King Philip the Second…”So begins today’s story from Dr. Adrian Masters.For further reading:Adrian Masters, “A Thousand Invisible Architects: Vassals, the Petition -and-Response System,and the Creation of Spanish Imperial Caste Legislation,” Hispanic American Historical Review 98 (2018): 377-406Felipe E.

As Wales continues to adapt to life in lockdown, Adrian Masters was joined by First Minister Mark Drakeford to talk coronavirus testing, working with the UK Government and how Welsh communities are pulling together to get through the crisis. Elsewhere Owain Phillips spoke to Spanish journalist Dorothee Fischer about how Spain is coping with the pandemic. And in these uncertain times, we hear from Rhondda MP Chris Bryant who is trying to bring a bit of joy to people's lives with the power of social media.
As the Prime Minister announced strict measures in a bid to stop the spread of Coronavirus, Adrian Masters was joined by Health Minister Vaughan Gething to explain how it will affect Wales. Before the announcement, Owain Phillips spoke to Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price from his second-week of self-isolation about staying safe and how parties should work together in this crisis. And it's a time of great uncertainty for employers and employees alike as everyone is told to stay home, so we asked employment lawyer Bethan Darwin for some advice.
As the first Coronavirus death in Wales is confirmed and the Prime Minister advises us all, and the most vulnerable in particular, to avoid all but essential travel, social contact and going to work, Adrian Masters speaks to Dr Mair Hopkin from the Royal College of GPs about the impact its having on frontline services. We also hear from Amy Bainton from the Federation of Small Businesses on the support needed for businesses here to weather the Coronavirus storm. Elsewhere, a month on from Storm Dennis, we hear from the leader of Rhondda Cynon Taf Council and the Welsh Local Government Association, Cllr Andrew Morgan on how the communities are recovering from the floods and the new challenges ahead. And as the Welsh Government published a new bill aimed at improving bus services, we hear from Labour AM Hefin David who is on the Assembly infrastructure committee and David Beer from passenger group Transport Focus on what needs to change when it comes to improving the way we travel.
As the number of Welsh cases of Coronavirus rises, Adrian Masters talked to Chief Medical Officer Dr Frank Atherton about how worried we should be about the virus. Elsewhere conference season is underway, with the Welsh Conservatives gathering in Llangollen -Owain Phillip takes a look at whether the party can build on the success from the General Election for next year's Assembly election. And Adrian was joined in the studio by Plaid Cymru's Helen Mary Jones, Labour's Carwyn Jones and David Melding from the Welsh Conservatives to discuss what impact the collapse of Flybe will have on Cardiff Airport.
It's conference season and the Welsh Conservatives got the gatherings underway in Llangollen. Owain Phillips talked to Assembly group leader Paul Davies about stopping the Assembly 'gravy train,' Boris Johnson and whether he's the right man to lead the party to next year's election, while Adrian Masters spoke to the Prime Minister about floods, coronavirus and being back in Clwyd South - the constituency he fought in the 90s.
As the the UK government's started talks with the EU about our future relationship, Adrian Masters speaks with the First Minister about those talks. Also on the programme, Owain Phillips reports on the Erasmus Plus scheme and asks whether warnings about it ending is scare-mongering. And are we doing enough to tackle air pollution? Adrian speaks to Transport Secretary Ken Skates AM about the issue.
Adrian Masters is at Ely Court Care Home in Cardiff to discuss two things that are part of all our lives - getting older and the NHS. Around eight hundred thousand people here in Wales are over 60 and that number is rising. We're living longer and while that is a good thing, it's also something that presents challenges to the health service and social care providers here. Prof Dame June Clark, the Emeritus Professor of Nursing at Swansea University, Jeff Richards from the National Pensioners Convention, Angela Burns AM and Health Minister Vaughan Gething AM share their views on social care in Wales.
As the political fallout from the recent floods continues, Adrian Masters asks who should pay what and which government should take responsibility for which part pf the clean up and repair work. Also on the show, why hospital cutbacks will always be a political as well as a medical issue. Adrian speaks to AMs Huw-Irranca Davies and Leanne Wood, who have been campaigning about A&E department at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital. And Owain Phillips asks what will the jobs of the future look like in Wales?
