A Joyous Exploration: Nuts and Bolts with Roma Agrawal
Cerys curates three hours of music exploration for your Sunday brunch and welcomes back engineer Roma Agrawal to marvel at small everyday inventions.
Cerys welcomes back award-winning engineer Roma Agrawal to marvel at the creations featured in her forthcoming book Nuts and Bolts: Seven Small Inventions That changed The World (in a big way). In this new book, Roma traces the journeys of each invention through history to see how the designs have enabled dramatic change in our lives, including how handmade Roman nails led to modern skyscrapers and how the potter's wheel enabled space exploration. Roma Agrawal is a structural engineer, author and broadcaster who has worked on the design of The Shard (Western Europe's tallest tower).
All alongside Cerys' usual curious curation to soundtrack your Sunday brunch. Expect an eclectic selection crossing borders, genres and eras from blues to jazz, folk to funk and everything inbetween.
