Archive audio, industry experts, and fans of the brand are often in the mix as Sean charts its rise to dizzy heights before discovering where it may have faltered. Alongside him, offering wise and wry observations is the serial entrepreneur, Sam White, who has no advance knowledge of which business is to be covered. At the end of each episode, based on what she has just heard, Sam must come up with her own conclusions as to why the brand or product disappeared and what we can learn from its story.
