Roman Mars

Roman Mars, host of the design-focused podcast 99% Invisible, joins Nick to chat about collaborating with the BBC on the new podcast The History of the United States in 100 Objects. The show tells the extraordinary stories behind some of the most intriguing and overlooked artefacts in US history - from a screw that changed engineering forever, to a ceramic dalmatian from the set of Wheel of Fortune.

Plus, as always Nick has plenty of fantastic music to start your day, including the Cloudbusting mix - an hour of uplifting tunes to banish the grey skies.
