Toast - Vine

Why did the video sharing platform Vine end up... toast? Sean Farrington examines its rise and fall with help from expert guests.

Why was the video sharing platform, Vine, closed down?

Sean Farrington discovers what happened to the app which pioneered short, shareable videos on social media.

Sean speaks to one of Vine's founders, Rus Yusupov, the Vine content creator, Eric Dunn, and the ±«Óãtv's Technology Editor, Zoe Kleinman.

Alongside them all analysing Vine's fortunes is the self-made millionaire and serial entrepreneur, Sam White.

Produced by Viant Siddique. Toast is a ±«Óãtv Audio North production for Radio 4 and ±«Óãtv Sounds.
