Sue Style - Genusswoche, Gadget Guru - what3words App

Broadcast on: 
27 August, 2019

Our food and wine guru Sue Style came in to tell us about the Genusswoche, or Semaine du Goût in Switzerland, which runs from 12-22 September. The idea behind it is to get people of all ages to discover allo kinds of delicious things to eat and drink and to really taste and value their food and drink. The Semaine du Gout or Genusswoche was set up as a sort of riposte to fast food and un-mindful eating and therre's a big local emphasis. In Basel there will be events at bakeries such as KULT and Sutter, the city's only winery Vinigma, the local microbrewery Unser Bier, Beschle the chocolatier, Jenzer the butchers in Arlesheim and Wirth's Huus, Basel's best cheese shop. For the full programme of events, go to the Genusswoche website right here.

 

In his first show after the summer break, Ian the Gadget Guru has a brief grammar lesson and an introduction to the phenomenal App, what3words. Ever wonder how you would describe your location if you happen to be lost in the desert? Well, the developers of the App what3words have solved this problem by mapping the entire planet into trillions of 3 square meter tiles, uniquely identified by a series of three English words. For more details, listen to the segment here!
