From Gadgets to Gruyères to Gigs

This time on the Gadget Guru, Ian Ellery looks at how US-China tariffs could lead to lower electronics prices in Europe, with manufacturers shifting more stock this way. He also takes a closer look at Nothing, a UK tech company offering a fresh alternative to the big brands. Their new Phone 2 Pro is modular, affordable, and aimed at those who want good value, priced around €250. A practical option for anyone rethinking their next upgrade. Listen to the segment here.

In our events round-up, we have US indie rock band Indigo Waves coming to the Atlantis on May 1st – they're touring Europe with their sophomore album «Mirror», which is full of dreamy lo-fi atmospheres and ’80s-inspired new wave. Go check them out!

The annual cheese festival in Gruyères is this weekend on May 4th. There will be a market, alphorns, and a celebration of the region's famous (and delicious) namesake cheese.
