Happy New Year folks! What tech was under your Christmas tree?? Get in touch and let us know! Text or WhatsApp to 0477 657 657 thanks to Vodafone! Plenty of calls this week, from digitising photos through to 2 Factor woes. And Ivan has a strange problem with iOS 26

Hosted by Trevor Long, EFTM-Tech, Cars and Lifestyle is a conversation that lives at the intersection of our digital and physical worlds. This isn't just a gadget review show; it's a deep dive into how the technology we use, the vehicles we drive, and the products we adopt shape our daily experiences and culture. Trevor connects directly with the people building the future, bringing you candid interviews with industry leaders and innovators to understand the stories behind the companies. The discussion is grounded and practical, often driven by listener input through calls and messages, making complex topics accessible and immediately relevant. Each episode feels like a chat with a well-informed friend who cuts through the hype, whether examining the latest automotive tech, a new smart home ecosystem, or a cultural shift driven by a leisure product. For anyone curious about the why and how behind the tools and toys that define modern life, this podcast offers thoughtful analysis without the jargon, exploring the seamless blend of tech, cars, and lifestyle that defines our era.
