Hello Dick and Chad,
Here is my first Gadget Warehouse video.
This is my gadget for warming hot dogs and buns. I saw your reviews of the “Nostalgia Retro Pop-up Hot Dog Toaster” (episodes 1376 and 1738) and I knew I had something better:

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! Here’s what we’re looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won’t get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, “family friendly” language applies.
–
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can’t market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it’s a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
–
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don’t have a warehouse. It doesn’t matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you’re still hanging on to it.
–
My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
–
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We’ll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that’s unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you’ll also get an autographed 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it’s a copy. We’ve tested it out and fans say they look terrific! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you’ll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you.
All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv

Email of the week!
Hi Dick
I don’t know if this actually qualifies as a gadget, but it is a lot of fun, especially if you love radio like I do.
There is an app called Radio Garden which, when you open it up, “seeds” a globe with thousands of green dots. Each dot represents a radio station, and when you move your cursor over the dot, the station starts to play. You can spin the globe and select stations from anywhere in the world…it’s amazing to listen to stations, for example, in the outer reaches of Alaska, or on remote pacific islands, or to relive past memories by listening to stations broadcasting from places you have visited. If you zoom in completely, you even get a true aerial view of the location. You can also type in a location and the globe spins to that location and shows the stations there. It’s a lot of fun, and as a side benefit it has made me aware of countries I did not even know existed!
Love your show, keep well! Gary Spadoni
