The Hometown Showdown

We’re on the hunt for the cleverest hometown in Wales. Maybe you’re the brightest in Bridgend or the smartest in Swansea?

All you have to do is answer ten questions in the shortest time, with a ten-second penalty for each incorrect answer. We play the Hometown Showdown every weekday morning at 8.10 on Nation Radio.

There’s £100 in Amazon vouchers up for grabs for the person with the overall quickest time at the end of the competition. PLUS the person with the best time at the end of each week will win a box of delicious Gower Cottage brownies.
