Engadget Eurocast 025 - 05.02.13
This week's show shows what happens when the unstoppable force of technology meets the immovable object of our team's cynicism and stinginess. The gang continues its discussion on Google Glass, doesn't think much of Illumiroom and gets weirdly philosophical when it comes to the latest words to come from Thorsten Heins' mouth. Plus, the team get wistful for a Nokia phone launched in 2007 and try (and fail) to use voice communication to send smartphone messages to each other.

Engadget Eurocast 024 - 04.24.13
Take a look around you, what do you see? Walls? People? An office? Take it all in, suck it all up. Why? Because today all that changes forever. Jamie's revelation that he's a University Challenge nut flips everything we know on its head. Also, Mat drops "convincement" like it wasn't even a thing. This madness is the Eurocast. Hosts: Dan Cooper, Mat Smith, Jamie Rigg Producer: James Trew Hear the Podcast
Engadget Eurocast 023 - 04.18.13
This episode is all about size. The biggest phone we've ever man-handled, the biggest player in the PC processor business (for now), and an epic re-write of the mobile phone plan on this side of the pond. We might be over selling that last story, but here it is, the big one, Eurocast 23. Hosts: Dan Cooper, James Trew, Sharif Sakr Producer: James Trew Hear the Podcast
Engadget Eurocast 022 - 04.09.13
It's a very weird venn diagram that has early adopters, lazy millionaires and a trio of our European editors at the heart of it, but that's where we find this week's show. Steve talks about the new cameras and displays that's been shown off at NAB, Mat dreams up the future of retail and Dan? Let's just say that he's feeling a little more miffed than usual. Hosts: Dan Cooper, Steve Dent, Mat Smith Producer: James Trew Hear the Podcast
Engadget Eurocast 021 - 04.04.13
An American has invaded the Eurocast! Okay, not really... We asked our amazing NYC-based editor, Joseph Volpe, to grace us with his lovely voice. Topics for this edition include the likely-to-be announced HTC & Facebook phone, Michael Dell's restructuring memo, OUYA (OH, YEAH) and our -- slightly NSFW -- ideas for April Fools' pranks. Right-o, this is the Engadget Eurocast. Hosts: Dan Cooper, Jamie Rigg, Joseph Volpe Producers: James Trew, Joe Pollicino Hear the Podcast
Engadget Eurocast 020 - 03.28.13
Sports, art and drama... this week has it all. In fact the only thing it's lacking is a bit of romance. Unless Jamie's love of a student lifestyle counts? Honestly, when you find out what that involves, you'll realize it really doesn't. Hosts: Dan Cooper, Jamie Rigg, Steve Dent Producer: James Trew Hear the Podcast
Engadget Eurocast 019 - 03.13.13
If you think you had a bad week, spare a thought for the folk at EA. With SimCity's launch thoroughly bungled, it's left for us to pick up the pieces and try and make sense of it all. Not every story casts a gloomy shadow this week, there's the imminent army of One Direction figurines on their way to cheer us up. Find out how and when in the Eurocast below. Hosts: Dan Cooper, Sharif Sakr, Steve Dent Producer: James Trew Hear the Podcast
Engadget Eurocast 018 - 03.06.13
Whether it's a swift tour of the floor at MWC, a rapid lap at a Barcelona racetrack or 4K video streamed directly to your TV (over a lightning fast rural connection) there's a distinct smell of burning rubber in the air. Failing that, it could be the smell of money burnt on luxury phones? Either way, this week's podcast is definitely hot. Get it right here. Hosts: James Trew, Jamie Rigg, Mat Smith Producer: James TrewHear the Podcast
Engadget Eurocast 017 - 02.28.13
In a week that plays host to one of Europe's biggest tech shows, as you can imagine, there's a fair amount to talk about. Someone should probably do a podcast that covers these sort of things! Who would be more qualified, then, than our very own tech-loving Europe shift? Fear not then, as everything from Nokia's colorful new line up, LG's curious acquisition, to ASUS' even more curious naming convention, gets the Engadget treatment. All just a click away. Disfrutad! Hosts: Dan Cooper, James Trew, Jamie Rigg Producer: James TrewHear the Podcast
Engadget Eurocast 016 - 02.22.13
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. Hosts: Dan Cooper, Mat Smith Guest: Ben Gilbert Producer: James TrewHear the Podcast
Engadget Eurocast 015 - 02.13.13
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. Hosts: Dan Cooper, Mat Smith, Sharif Sakr Producer: James TrewHear the Podcast
Engadget Eurocast 014 - 02.06.13
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. Hosts: Dan Cooper, Mat Smith, James Trew Producer: James Trew Hear the Podcast
Engadget Eurocast 013 - 02.01.13
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. All of the above is on the menu for this week's Eurocast, all you have to do is grab your takeaway from the delivery options below. Hosts: Dan Cooper, Mat Smith, Steve Dent, Sharif Sakr Producer: James Trew Hear the Podcast
Engadget Eurocast 012 - 01.22.13
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.

Engadget Eurocast 011 - 1.11.13 CES special
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... Hosts: Dan Cooper, Steve Dent, Mat Smith, James Trew, Jamie Rigg Guests: (Official) Joseph Volpe, Ben Gilbert.

Engadget Eurocast 010 - 12.25.12 Holiday Special
Christmas day, and while the US is still tucked up in bed, awaiting Santa's visit, the euro-crew are already up and about, donning knitted jumpers with one hand in the chocolate tin, the other brandishing (the third) sherry. This year, to save you from tears, we recorded you something special. Merry Christmas from the Eurocast.

Engadget Eurocast 009 - 12.20.12
You will always find Mat in the kitchen at parties. Just not on Instagram. Sharif will be on the fence about Tegra 4. Steve's usually perusing the Raspberry Pi app store. While Dan will be found waiting (a long time) for Comet to open. You'll also find them all on this week's Eurocast. Why not join them?

Engadget Eurocast 008 - 12.13.12
As 2012 starts to properly wind down, CES looms large. Of course, we're okay with that, given our role as official online news source an' all. But before all of that, there's still a few loose ends for the Euro crew to tie up. Whether it's the year's top Google hits, or Dan's -- now famous -- feet, it's all here. It's all Eurocast.

The Euro team are back, and very much in fine fettle.

Engadget Eurocast 006 - 11.22.2012
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. Unfortunately, that's mostly centered around EE, charitable giving and that beautiful moment where Sony sees where it's been going wrong all this time.
