The mobile phone retailer, Phones 4u, was hugely profitable, so why did it have to close all of its 700+ shops?
The BBC Business journalist, Sean Farrington and the entrepreneur, Sam White discover how Phones 4u ended up toast with help from expert guests including:
John Caudwell - Phones 4u founder
Nikki Barrow & Chris Papageorgiou - former Phones 4u staff members
Ian White - editor of Mobile News magazine
Produced by Jon Douglas. Toast is a BBC Audio North production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds.

Sliced Bread returns for a new batch of investigations in December, where Greg Foot investigates so-called wonder products to find out whether they really are the best thing since sliced bread. In the meantime, Toast is available in the Sliced Bread feed on BBC Sounds
