If podcasts were cookies — or as our hosts say, biscuits — this week’s would be an Oreo. Two strong, independent, yet wonderfully united sections. The first part of the experience is firm, trustworthy yet exciting, before giving way to a soft, sugary, all american finale. Glass of milk optional.

Mat defines himself as a gamer, Sharif’s high on 4G in Brent Cross, and Dan… well that’d be telling. But if you really want to know, you’re in the right place. There’s also a well stocked buffet of tech news for you to fill your plate from. Just don’t eat the vol-au-vents, not until you know where Dan’s been.

This podcast isn’t brought to you by anyone. Well, by that we mean large cereal brands, or fancy trainer companies. It is, however, bought to you by Dan, James and Mat from the Euro crew. Enjoy.

BlackBerry and Nokia rule the roost this week, just like the good ‘ol days (depending who you ask). That’s not to say it’s all about the old guard though, with Vine blossoming and Ubuntu taking a stab at the whole mobile OS thing too.

It was a long journey back from CES — mainly because Jamie left his house keys in Vegas — but, nonetheless, we’re back. In this episode, we’ll hear more about Dan’s questionable choice of friends, and Mat plays industry analyst while lovingly berating poor Jamie. All that and, of course, the EU-related tech news that caught our attention during the past two weeks. You might want to use headphones for this one.
Hosts: Dan Cooper, Mat Smith, Jamie Rigg

While we’re up and podcasting, the rest of Europe is (or at least in the large part, should be) in bed. That’s doesn’t deter the crew from convening on stage, and giving its take on CES so far. Everything runs smoothly until our US counterparts — jealous of course — want a slice of the action…

It’s “back to basics” week here at Eurocast Towers, with the rest of the team ill, undergoing surgery or continent hopping, it’s left to Dan and Jamie to hash out the week’s biggest technology stories.
