Science + Literature = i
"In the world there are various categories of scientists: there are people of a secondary or tertiary standing; there are also those of high standing who make discoveries of great importance to science; then there are geniuses like Galileo and Newton. Well, Ettore was one of them." Enrico Fermi |

Steamer from Cardiff to Tenby
In the 1960's writer and broadcaster Gwyn Thomas made a series of programmes for TWW in which he visited different parts of Wales. In this programme, Gwyn joins a group a day trippers on a Steamer from Cardiff to Tenby. Today, his unique, warm and darkly humorous observations give us a fascinating insight into what life was like for people living in these Welsh communities half a century ago.
Although the original audio of this particular broadcast has not survived, the script that Gwyn Thomas wrote for the programme has. His timeless words are read here by the superb actor Glyn Houston.
