Engadget Eurocast 057 - 3.24.14
The Eurocast is back after a brief hiatus and this week's festivities are hosted by Matt Brian and Steve Dent. Google's just announced its Android Wear platform and that means a slew of new wearables will be hitting the scene, possibly by the end of this year. Chromecast has also officially touched down in the UK, which means regular consumers can now get Google's low-cost, diminutive dongle and catch up to those early adopters. Not to be left out, Apple's made a more affordable option of its iPhone 5c available, with a discounted 8GB version for European and Chinese markets. All the details on these and other topics are under the microscope for this episode of the Engadget Eurocast. Hosts: Matt Brian, Steve Dent Producer: Jon Turi Hear the Podcast:
Engadget Eurocast 055 - 2.28.14
Ah, the joys of innocence. Jamie didn't know there was a Lego Movie, but Dan is here to fill him in on the details and deliver his thoughts on how it's the antithesis of Toy Story's rigid plot. The conversation then turns to Amazon's rebranding of Lovefilm in the UK and its plans to bolster its streaming library and revive Ripper Street, a Victorian-era cop show. Then there's the tangled web of intrigue and black-market banking called Bitcoin to try and hash out. It's a hefty task, but the crew is ready to attack the issues head on. Join us at the streaming links below for this week's episode of the Engadget Eurocast. Hosts: Dan Cooper, Jamie Rigg Producer: Jon Turi Hear the Podcast:

Engadget Eurocast 052 - 1.24.14
Whether you own a Hudl tablet or not, if you're anything like Dan and Sharif, you're keeping it real and doing your shopping at Tesco's. Jamie, always the rebel, actually prefers the overpriced petrol station one on his corner. Amidst the other topics under discussion this week, one question stands out: Got wood? If you're a Moto X fan in the UK, the answer will most certainly be no -- at least not on your phone anytime soon. The team is lively, refreshed and in good form, so do yourself a favor and take a listen to this week's episode the Engadget Eurocast.

Engadget Eurocast 049 Christmas Edition - 12.25.13
The Engadget Eurocast team is obviously delirious on eggnog, as they've chosen to spend a good portion of their Christmas day together nestled in Snuggies and sitting around a warm fire to bring you this special holiday podcast. Your host Daniel Cooper gets things rolling with a specially crafted, year-in-review tech quiz that elicits both insightful chatter and raucous tangents. It's game on for Jamie who aims to win all the quiz points and that's fine with Matt as his Avengers sticker book is all he needs this holiday. Steve will probably just spend the rest of the day on his Xbox One and Dan will be trading his Snuggie for a toolbelt, as he's in for a bit of D.I.Y. It's a warm and inviting chat, and we hope that you'll be able to stop by. Grab your eggnog (it's BYOE) and head on down to the streaming links below for this episode of the Engadget Eurocast!

Engadget Eurocast 048 - 12.17.13
While the overall state of news has been sparse, the ever-vigilant Daniel Cooper and his co-hosts have managed to find some choice topics to chew the fat over this week. Sharif delivers his first-person perspective of the e-inked, dual-screen YotaPhone and Matt drops some science on the discount tablet scene. The cherry on top of this news sundae, though, is Google's recent acquisition of the robot-centric Boston Dynamics. Hopefully the Doctor will be around if we get overrun by Cybermen again this holiday. But what's really in question is whether or not Sharif will enjoy Better Call Saul if Breaking Bad didn't do it for him. All of these important topics are up for careful consideration on this week's edition of the Engadget Eurocast. Hosts: Dan Cooper, Matt Brian, Sharif Sakr Producer: Jon Turi Hear the Podcast:
Engadget Eurocast 045 - 11.26.13
It's a full house for this episode; with the exception of your usual host Dan Cooper, you're treated to talk from Matt Brian, Sharif Sakr, Jamie Rigg and Steve Dent. Jamie has lots to say about the new Moto G (which he loves), but not about the arrival of Instagram on Windows Phone (he says he's not a hipster). Steve shares all the details about LG's shady TV spying and Sharif considers a pedantic future in Twitch broadcasting. It's a boisterous, yet fact-filled podcast this week, so get your Turkeys defrosting (if that's your thing) and cozy up to your headphones for another insightful edition of the Engadget Eurocast, conveniently located at the streaming links below.

Engadget Eurocast 044 - 11.20.13
Dan Cooper is back in the captain's chair this week, joined by the inimitable Matt Brian to bring you the "I Love the '90s" podcast. Actually, that's not really the name, but while the conversation does lead off with the Xbox One, it seems Dan would prefer to chat about GoldenEye 007 on the Nintendo 64. Matt even joins in the tangential reverie and lets slip that he was once the third best player in the UK of said game at 13. All that and even some tech news to boot; so get your game face on and hoist your controllers in the air to celebrate another episode of the Engadget Eurocast.

Engadget Eurocast 040 - 10.24.13
This week's Eurocast is all about the numbers. Nokia's 1520, 2520, 1320 and 1520. Phew! Our host Daniel Cooper feels they've gone in the wrong direction with all those digits, but its new pal and partner Microsoft, on the other hand, chose to keep it simple, dropping the RT and going with the Surface 2 and Surface 2 Pro. Our guest Matt Brian joins the podcast to keep Dan from going on a Kinder Egg tangent and to give us his secrets on upgrading to the latest Apple products without losing his shirt. All this and more waits down below in our latest edition of the Engadget Eurocast. Go on, you've earned it. Hosts: Dan Cooper, Matt Brian Producer: Jon Turi Hear the Podcast:

Yes, we've been away for a lengthy bit of time and we're sorry. According to Dan, our reel-to-reel tape recorder acted up the last time we tried to record.
