Party season is just around the corner, and along with the celebrations there are warnings that a sinister crime is still widespread.

Exeter campaigner Dawn Dines is spearheading the fight against spiking, the practice of sneaking drugs into a victim's food or drink.

Dawn joins Devoncast to talk about the Stamp Out Spiking campaign which has propelled her into the national headlines.

Elsewhere there are reactions to the contents of last week’s budget. Farmers fear for their futures amid changes in inheritance tax and the tourist industry could also be in the firing line.

It’s all in the new Devoncast, presented by Bradkley Gerrard and Guy Henderson, and produced by Radio Exe and the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
