This is an opinion saying that BBC Radio Wales has been playing it safe too much and the presenters just arent good enough:

Twelve months ago it was in need of a revamp, it's had one and I think it sounds great now
Its a shame 657khz in the north doesn't get the opt outs now, but you can't have everything.
Jason Mohammed and Adam Walton are my favourites
I find his phone-ins dull in the extreme. He maybe has one good one every three weeks.
I love Nelli Bird though.
I like Jason Mohammed. Does he still do the lunchtime phone in? I listen here in Cheshire on 657 or 882. Agree about the split programming.
Was chuffed to see Jason on the snooker! Has he done TV work in Wales before, as I get Granada?
Yes he's on between 10-1.
He's done a fair bit on the sport front, Scrum V and lots of football reporting.
I guess any topical show can be like this, I have no interest in Cardiff Airport, for example, and it seems to have taken up a lot of air time, but I find Jason pretty easy going and makes the listener feel involved. I prefer him to his predecessor, Richard Evans, who was a little bit like a rather stern Headmaster!
I thought it was quite amusing. I don't listen to Radio Wales, but I can imagine it's not the OP's favourite station and, as such, it made me chuckle at his writing. He gives good copy.
Some of the music programmes seem to be aimed at people aged one hundred plus. But that doesnt bother me.
