Description

Matthew Carr, radiographer and resident science expert, joins Ben and Nicky to talk about Jodrell Bank - Not a bank, but home to the giant Lovell Telescope in Cheshire. Since the 1950's it has been one of the biggest and most powerful radio telescopes in the world and had a part to play in the Cold War. Matt's alternative landmark isn't far from where the boys went to school and would sneak off for views over Cardiff.
