Vaughan Roderick looks back at interviews over the past year. Professor Elwen Evans from Universities Wales came in October, following a year of headlines on the financial challenges facing universities. Professor Kevin Morgan talked about his book, Serving the Nation, and the importance of good public food. On the 100th anniversary of the report of the Irish Border Commission, Cormac Moore discussed the redrawing of the lines that divided the young Irish Free State from Northern Ireland. Ten years after Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board first went in to special measures, current Chief Executive Carol Shillabeer explained what she was doing to try and turn the health board around. Before Lindsay Whittle went on to win the Caerphilly by-election for Plaid Cymru, Sir Deian Hopkin remembered the 1968 election when Plaid Cymru gave Labour a run for its money but ultimately didn't gain the seat in Westminster. And following the publication of her book 'Artists, Siblings, Visionaries', Judith Mackrell illustrated the effects the early death of their mother had on the lives of Welsh-born Gwen and Augustus John.
