Episode 147

There are some guests who really don't need an introduction, and one of those is Touker Suleyman. Star of the BBC jewel in the crown, ‘Dragons’ Den’, and himself a hugely successful entrepreneur, Touker sits in judgement of the business ideas of others with flashes of kindness and amusement as well as blinding business acumen. He came into the Sputnik studio this week to pass on some of his wisdom.

So, who better to talk us through its legacy than Daniel Rachel, author of ‘Walls Come Tumbling Down’.
