Hyper-local shopping, Harrods after Covid & a new retail concept from Dr Oetker - with guest Vince Bamford of British Baker

Laura and Julia are joined by Vince Bamford, editor of British Baker. They chat about the rise of hyper-local shopping in the wake of Covid-19, how Harrods has changed its iconic department store as it reopens after lockdown, hatching ducklings from eggs bought in Waitrose and an eye-catching new retail concept that's being trialled by Dr Oetker in Germany. Plus, Vince shares his experience of reporting on the bakery sector during the coronavirus crisis and what it's been like to be asked about flour all the time.
