A transistor radio for instant, ergonomic pleasure
25.01.2018 - United Kingdom![United Kingdom United Kingdom](/assets/flags/gb-1674fbf6dc097793ed59ab21f9925986.gif)
I am completely in love with this new, ahem, wireless set, Geneva Lab’s FM/DAB Touring S. What it is, is ergonomics. Take a bath, sit on the lawn in your deckchair, put it on your boat deck while doing whatever people do on boat decks, turn on the radio, and listen. News, cricket, drama, just enjoy. You could do it blindfolded.
