The cat is out of the bag! Our little pod has been turned into a new series ON BBC RADIO 4!

*does a little dance*

While it’s under Auntie’s watch we’ll be parking this account but if pods are your thing extended podcast versions will be on @BBCSounds. Go sub, rate & review! 🙏

My new @BBCRadio4 series ��The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread?” starts searching for the facts behind the fads TONIGHT at 9

Can #collagen face cream reduce wrinkles & does #activatedcharcoal purify your pores?

Chuffed that @BBCRadio4 are playing out daily reruns of original Sliced Bread episodes over the festive break.

Many more investigations over on @BBCSounds AND the podcast eps are often longer and can include updates added since first radio play too 👍

A HUGE thank you to everyone who tweeted me to say they enjoyed #bbcslicedbread on @BBCRadio4

I’m SO chuffed the extended Podcasts reached #5 in iTunes’ main chart!! (& #1 in Health!) https://t.co/PSU5DQsUQ8

Loads of suggestions for fads to investigate if we get series2 too 🤞

[Greg Foot @gregfoot]

Some big news for me: after a year of meetings & pilots I can announce that next year I’ll be hosting my own series on @BBCRadio4!

In Feb “The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread?” will investigate the facts behind the fads in 4 eps on Radio 4 & 8 pods on @BBCSounds

Useful thread about sunscreen below 👌

TLDR: high SPF protects against UVB and high star rating protects against UVA. Make sure your sunscreen has both. ☀️

Oh and the more expensive it is doesn’t mean the more protection it offers. 💷
