While Sliced Bread takes a break we serve up鈥� Dough. Greg Foot explores the future wonder products that might rise to success and redefine our lives.

Greg Foot, host of the 成人快手 Radio 4 series Sliced Bread, now 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 if you鈥檙e in the UK, you can listen to the latest episode on 成人快手 Sounds first, a week earlier than anywhere else.

Produced by Jon Douglas and Jay Unger. Dough is a 成人快手 Audio North production for 成人快手 Radio 4 and 成人快手 Sounds.

Sliced Bread returns for a new batch of investigations in October 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 成人快手 Sounds.
