Kicking Back with the Cardiffians is an "authentic and heart-warming" series from Charlotte Church, according to Spotify. 

The Spotify description continues: "Charlotte explores her own working-class childhood rooted in Cardiff by passing the mic around her family tree and inviting some of her chosen fam over for a catch up.
