## Resource

It’s the final Gadget Show Podcast of 2025, so we’re doing what we do best: arguing about gadgets. Jason and Suzi are joined by the one and only Jon Bentley to crown the best tech of the year across five categories — phones, computing, audio, gaming and wearables. Then we dust off the crystal ball and look ahead to 2026, asking whether robots are ready for our homes, foldables are finally worth it, and if wearable tech is about to get very weird indeed.
