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: Keeping a green and quality kitchen
Our special guest, chef Ian Riley, shared his tips this week on how to select, buy and maintain appliances for the kitchen.
Ian has worked in many different environments over the years, from top restaurants, to catering for rock stars and working on yachts, to co-founding his own small restaurant in Brixton called Cornercopia.
He is a practical, hands-on person, who does not fall for the hype.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, his top tip: learn how to use a knife! He urged us to carefully consider what we need, and if we love to cook, invest and show reverence for the appliances we own.
He talked to us about quality food processors and how to use and repair them, and how to buy professional grade appliances second-hand.
