Devoncast - The magic of Dartmoor, a hospital riddle and saving lives on the streets

Dartmoor - home to 35,000 people and a magnet for 11 million visitors every year. How on earth do you balance the moor’s delicate eco-system with the demands of the people who live, work and play on it? Devoncast welcomes moorland farmer Peter Harper, who is also a member of the Dartmoor National Park Authority, to talk about what makes the moor special, and how it can be kept that way. Will we one day have to pay to use it? That’s not as outlandish as you might think. In Torbay, a new ‘tribe’ is on the streets, working to save lives with a fast-acting drug that can reverse the effects of an overdose. And in Seaton the saga of the empty hospital wing shows no signs of being resolved. It’s all on the latest edition of Devoncast.
