The Gadget Show - News Podcast For June 18
The Gadget Show - News 18th June (MP3 – 17.2MB – 50min 10sec)
This edition has the second special Foofpod competition. Answer the simple question in the show and win.
I also have to apologize for the slight lag in the two audio streams. Leo mentioned before the call that the Skype call was perfect. Seems he jinxed the recording, because AudioHijack, the tool I use to record the call, added a lag to my stream, and so you’ll sometimes hear Leo respond before I say something. I wonder if there’s a way to record two files for each stream.
Anyway, it was great fun having Leo on the show. We have a chat about his background, his many shows, and delve into the weekly news about gadgets.
Email comments or entries to the Foofpod competition to Richard, or leave your audio comments or questions via Skype.

I am a huge fan of Leo and watch Call for help and listen to TWIT all the time. he is very cool and really loves technology and trying to help people.
I also wanna say thanks for the Foofpod competition as I got email saying I had won which I found surprising as I entered a gew days after the show was posted and almost didn’t enter because of that.
Of course maybe others don’t like Foofpods and I was the only one who entered :)
