In today's episode, I'm diving into Instagram's latest move with Reels - they're going big with 3-minute videos and even testing 10-minute uploads. Is this their chance to shine while TikTok faces pressure?

Then we'll look at Chrissy Teigen's intriguing idea of a social media curfew (imagine shutting everything down at 6 PM!), and discuss how social media has officially overtaken TV as the UK's main news source.

For our main feature, I'm taking you on a journey through the 1980s to explore how synthesizers and drum machines revolutionized music. From the iconic LinnDrum to the legendary Roland 808, we'll see how these machines shaped the sounds we still hear in music today.

This week on Redesigned, we look at GTA 6’s long-awaited launch date, the controversial AI-generated story, ‘Roommate From Hell,’ which is a short film depiction of Jesus and the Devil as roommates.

We also take a nostalgic deep dive into the struggles in the 80s and early 90s, when there were just four terrestrial channels was all we had in the UK.

Remember adjusting the aerial for a clear picture? Or programming a VCR with VideoPlus codes from the TV guide? And how did Sky TV shake things up when it launched?

Plus, we look at DJI’s new Flip drone, a beginner-friendly, folding camera drone, and discuss what it means for casual users. Whether it’s tech, culture, or a trip down memory lane, this episode has it all.

Episode 74 (003,Season 3) In this episode, I dive into the future of content creation, exploring how generative AI tools like Sora, Synthesia, and Runway ML are revolutionising video production, VFX, and storytelling.

These innovations are reshaping the way creators approach filmmaking, marketing, and digital media, making high-quality content more accessible than ever.

I also highlight some of the biggest announcements from CES 2025, including laptops with expandable screens and wireless TVs, and Omnia, an AI powered mirror that can tell you about your current health status.

Additionally, I share the latest on the upcoming Nintendo Switch, discussing its release timeline and the games we can expect at launch.

Welcome to the first episode of Season 3! After nearly three years away, I’m back with a fresh perspective and plenty to talk about. In this episode, I’m diving into some of my predictions for 2025 - looking how social media habits are changing and what it really means to be a ‘follower’ or ‘subscriber’ in today’s world. I also talk about the unexpected comeback of physical media like vinyl and CDs especially with Gen Z, Elon Musk’s efforts to create Skynet and humanoid robots, and how these innovations could shape the next five years.
