Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Bill Buckley to discuss the latest tech news and reviews. This week; the removal from YouTube of material alleging voter fraud in the US elections and moves to break up the monopoly owned by Facebook are in the news. Question this week is whether TikTok has any security issues.

First Gadget of the Week is Readly, a subscription service that allows you unlimited access to over 5000 magazines, including many back issues, on your smart device or computer for a low monthly price. With Christmas fast approaching, this could be an ideal gift idea. Costing £7.99 a month, the service scored a respectable 4 out of 5. Listen in for more information.

Second Gadget of the Week is the Eufy SpaceView Baby Monitor. A two part device, a camera you place in the room with your baby and a separate screen, this has the advantage of using an encrypted radio signal rather than relying on your WIFI, this can be used to pan the camera to follow the child around and has two way audio and alerts can be triggered by noise volume. Supporting up to an additional 3 cameras beyond the 1 supplied, this is a great gadget for parents of young children. Scoring 4 out of 5, listen in for more info.
