Cafodd y canlyniadau eu dangos ar dudalen flaen papur newydd The Times ac fe'u darlledwyd ar y BBC The One Show ar Ionawr 24, 2017. Cafodd y stori ei chynnwys hefyd mewn nifer o bapurau newydd cenedlaethol eraill gan gynnwys The Herald, The Independent, The Daily Mirror a The Daily Express. Ar yr un diwrnod fe wnes i ymddangos ar y teledu (BBC Wales Today) a Radio (Good Morning Wales) i drafod ein canfyddiadau.

- Ar ddydd Gwener 15 Tachwedd 2019 fe wnes i ymddangos ar Raglen Today Radio 4 yn fyw i ddarllen pos roeddwn i wedi'i chyfansoddi yn amgodio hanes Prifysgol Caerdydd yn arddull epigram Diophantus o Alexandria tua 300 OC. Mae'r pos yn darllen fel a ganlyn:
'Prifysgol Caerdydd', y rhyfeddod, wel,
Ym mis Tachwedd 2018, mae'r pos yn dweud pa mor hen:
Cychwynnodd y cyfnod cynnar am y naw mlynedd llawn,
Un rhan o nawfed bywyd yn ddiweddarach, mae adeilad yn ymddangos.
Ar ôl tair rhan o bump yn fwy, unais fy amod;
Ac un pymthegfed arall, pwerau llawn, a roddwyd.
Un mlynedd ar hugain yn ddiweddarach ac yr wyf yn awr yn hedfan yn uchel,
Wrth galon prifddinas Cymru, pa mor hen ydw i?
