Sliced Bread Podcast
Greg Foot investigates the so-called wonder products making bold claims. Are they the best thing since sliced bread, or marketing BS?
The series that investigates the latest ad-hyped products and trending fads promising to make us healthier, happier and greener. Are they really 'the best thing since sliced bread'? Science presenter Greg Foot finds out.
