Step into the workshop of wonder with First Look Gnomes! In this episode, we explore the power of innovation — from the cutting-edge AI Sora to the roaring nostalgia of Cornish steam engines and 90s car rallies. Join our gnome hosts as we uncover how creativity connects generations — including fun, hands-on LEGO building tips for dads and families.

Discover how technology, engineering, and imagination come together in this feel-good mix of old-school mechanics and futuristic thinking. Perfect for makers, parents, and curious minds who love learning something new every week.

Two dads tumble from 90s nostalgia into a candid look at AI’s new power to fake reality, then anchor back to earth with a steam rally, a heritage train, and practical Lego tips for parents. Trust, patience, and small rituals tie it all together with humour.
