A bi-weekly talk show by The Restart Project, plus a monthly documentary series produced by brilliant podcaster Dave Pickering, based on fixing triumphs, heartbreaks and wisdom shared at our community repair events – called Restart Parties – here in London. We go into real depth about good and bad design, obstacles to repair of electronics, emotional aspects of ownership, environmentally irresponsible business models, and the “end of life” of our gadgets. This podcast is for you if you'd like to fix your relationship with electronics. Let’s rethink, restart.

Restart Radio: shopping malls and six-pack of tablets
On Tuesday we were back at Resonance 104.4 FM for our weekly live radio show. Our show is about gadgets but it’s definitely different. We’re not going talk about the shiny shiny new things we want you to buy.
We focus on the value of the things we already have and how to value them longer.
This week, we talked with Restarter Dave Lukes about a wind-up radio he recently repaired and about the importance of running Restart Parties in shopping malls, and to podcaster Dave Pickering about people’s motivation to keep repairing.
Then we discussed two stories:
- Amazon is selling a six-pack of tablets and it’s not sure why (Slashgear)
- Long-term software support for Fairphone 1 (Fairphone’s website)
