Sliced Bread Podcast
While Sliced Bread takes a break we serve up… Dough. Greg Foot explores the future wonder products that might rise to success and redefine our lives.
Greg Foot, host of the BBC Radio 4 series Sliced Bread, brings you Dough.
Each episode explores the future wonder products that might rise to success and redefine our lives.
Experts and entrepreneurs discuss the trends shaping what today's everyday technology may look like tomorrow, before a leading futurist offers their predictions on what life might be like within five, 10 and 50 years.
Episodes of Dough are released weekly on Thursdays wherever you get your podcasts. But you can listen to the latest episode on BBC Sounds first, a week earlier than anywhere else.
Produced by Jon Douglas and Jay Unger. Dough is a BBC Audio North production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds.
Sliced Bread returns for a new batch of investigations in April when Greg will investigate more of the latest so-called wonder products to find out whether they really are the best thing since sliced bread.
In the meantime, Dough is available in the Sliced Bread feed on BBC Sounds.
