Toy Fair 2013 - FrequencyCast Special Report
We take a trip to the London Toy Fair 2013 at Olympia to take a look at some exciting new technology designed for the little, and not-so-little folk in your lives. Here's our Special Report:
Toys and Tech in London:
Something of a first for us - rather than trekking to a consumer tech show, or a sci-fi convention, we took our first trip to the popular trade show, The Toy Fair, at the Grand Hall in London's Olympia.
We're proud to present our special report from the 2013 show, in both audio and video formats!
