Basel Proms 2024; Gadget Guru - Scans and VR

After resounding success in 2022, Basel Proms is back on 2 November 2024! Inspired by the legendary music festival at the Royal Albert Hall in London, Basel Proms – the first of its kind in Switzerland – is a glittering gala evening that brings together Swiss, UK and international artists in a grand celebration of music, arts and culture. The event will feature the Basel Festival Orchestra, the Basel Proms Chorus, and a number of international and Basel-based soloists. Organisers Beverley Worboys and Caterina Ciani joined us to talk about what's in store for this year. Listen to the interview here.

This time on the Gadget Guru, Ian considers getting scanned, and exhibits slight narcissistic tendencies. Plus considers one cheaper VR solution and one expensive e-paper gadget. Listen to the segment here.
