Wow! The Giz Wiz Show celebrates our 14th anniversary this month! And it’s our 5th year of Independent Production! (First Giz Wiz show was February 20th, 2006.) Thanks to our wonderful Patreon supporters we continue on! If it wasn’t for them, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone.

On this week’s show we have three gadgets from NY NOW, a show that needs a better name because most people have no idea what kind of show it is. It’s most like a home decorating show, but fortunately they usually have some offbeat tech things or even weird stuff that we like. For instance, that turntable in the photo, that’s a cat scratching post with a turntable the cat turns as it scratches! —- (When we recorded this show Chad suggest “Decor Galore” as a good name for the show!
Here’s some background on one of the two fun gadget companies we found at the show, Suck UK. (Yep, that’s the official name of the company!)
Design duo Sam and Jude established Suck UK in 1999. Back then, the design graduates hand-crafted furniture and industrially-inspired products. Why call a company SUCK UK? — They answer: Seems it’s become a company urban myth. You’ll never get a straight answer about where the name came from, from anyone; which is in a way part of the fun, isn’t it? Although we’re well aware a different name would have saved years of hasty phone explanations! —- But at the end of the day – Suck UK stands out from the crowd, delivering memorable products, innovation, and wit! Which is what we want to be known for! We make products that we would want to buy ourselves, gifts that we would give. We like to put a surprising spin on everyday functions, making life that little bit different and that little bit more exciting. We design it all! — And in this week’s show you’ll meet a designer for Suck UK.
