All on this week's podcast...
As May’s local elections draw ever closer, we’re joined by a political expert from the University of Exeter on this week’s edition of Devoncast.
Dr Stuart Fox, senior lecturer in politics, shares his thoughts on how the main parties will fare in Devon next month, how new voter ID rules will impact the polls, and whether the elections could cause a problem for the prime minister.

And we take a look at how Plymouth will mark the king’s coronation next month.
