In this special episode of Third Angle, we’re looking back at some of the innovative tech, toys and gadgets we have featured on the podcast. From model kits that contain life-like details of fighter jets, to ear buds with 360 degree spatialized sound, to top-of-the-range electronic keyboards, to interactive robotic toys, we are celebrating the future of gifting.

We head to Copenhagen to talk to Morten Urup, the VP of Consumer Devices at communications company Jabra, then to the HQ of consumer electronics company Casio in Wembley, London to hear some beautiful music from their latest Privia keyboard range. We then hop across the pond to Rhode Island for an inside look at the magical world of Hasbro and their innovative Furby toys, and finally to Airfix’s HQ in Kent, UK, where Product Designer Chris Joy tells us about the work that goes into their model kits.
