While Sliced Bread takes a break we serve up… Dough.

Dough is the series from 91Èȱ¬ Radio 4 which looks at the business behind profitable, everyday products and considers how they might evolve in the years to come.

In each episode, entrepreneur Sam White speaks to industry experts to find out how these products manage to make a profit and what game-changing - and pointless - innovations they have seen in their time.

Tom Cheesewright, a technology expert and applied futurist, then offers his predictions on what might be coming beyond the current production pipeline.

Episodes of Dough are released weekly on Thursdays wherever you get your podcasts. But if you’re in the UK, you can listen to the latest episode on 91Èȱ¬ Sounds first, a week earlier than anywhere else.

Produced by Jon Douglas. Dough is a 91Èȱ¬ Audio North production for 91Èȱ¬ Radio 4 and 91Èȱ¬ Sounds.

Sliced Bread returns for a new batch of investigations in April when Greg Foot 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 91Èȱ¬ Sounds.
