    I have been listening to Ewen and his gang for many years and I am always entertained. Someday I want to head to England and come to the Big Bash.

  • British Tech Network's The Big Show

    If you want to keep on top of the latest in technology and have fun doing it then go no further than The Big Show. Witty host Ewen Rankin along with top tech journalists and professionals discuss what’s new in the world of technology. There's nothing boring here. I'm always disappointed when the Big Show is over. It, along with The British Tech Network's other great podcasts, like The Mac Show are a regular part of my weekly podcast listening. Give it a listen and subscribe. Cheers!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Summer Of Fun: Fun With Trains
Q: How has Lionel improved traction and performance over time?
Lionel introduced magna traction, magnetizing the wheels to increase grip and create better pulling power, especially useful for heavy, longer trains.
Summer Of Fun: Fun With Trains
Q: What is the scale relationship used for O gauge and how do you determine it?
You measure the model and the real item, convert both to the same unit, divide the real measurement by the model, then take the reciprocal to get the scale as a ratio (e.g., 1:48 for O gauge).
