Cool Tools Show & Tell Video Podcast 002

Watch the editors and friends of Cool Tools review the tools they use

Welcome to the second episode of Cool Tools’ Show and Tell podcast! Last week, Camille Cloutier-Hartsell and I had a video hangout with Joshua Glenn and Oliver Hulland. We showed each other 18 different things we love, including books, kitchen tools, games, apps, and gadgets.

Since this is a show and tell, I recommend that you watch the HD resolution video here so you can see the things we talked about. But it’s also available as an audio podcast subscription (Here’s the iTunes subscription link). Or, you can listen to or download this episode through Soundcloud.
