Things are back to normal around the Podcast studio, and this week you’ll hear the dulcet tones of Elliot Williams and Kristina Panos.
In Hackaday news, we still have a Frikkin’ Lasers Challenge going on, and now you can even enter your project into it! Join the ranks, won’t you?
Not only do we have a triple mailbag this week, we have another failed attempt at guessing the sound by Kristina. However, [Baron Maximilian von Knuthausen] knew that it was a train, a British one, even. Then it’s on to the hacks, of course, which ought to go far in explaining the show title.
Check out the links below if you want to follow along, and as always, tell us what you think about this episode in the comments!

Triple scoop! [Brett Gibson] asked whether the Hackaday Europe talks will be posted, [AT] dreams of electric tweezers, and we have an audio missive from [Shlomo Yitzchak Kaganoff], who wants to know what the most elaborate and/or interesting home automation is that exists.
