This year's Gadget Show Live was a cracking event. Carl and Pete spent two days in Birmingham talking to exhibitors, as well as interviewing the presenters of Channel 5's Gadget Show. We even put out an audio update the day before the show opened, and straight after Day One, so that our listeners could get a feel for what to expect at the show. It meant some late-night audio editing in a hotel room, but the feedback we got from the listeners made it worth the effort and the late night.
In our Gadget Show special show, we looked at robot vacuum cleaners, iPhone chargers and devices that read minds. All good fun. Pete and Carl also had a cuddle with Suzi and Pollyanna.
