Devoncast’s search for the most interesting stories around the county takes it to Exeter, Plymouth, Torbay and Totnes among other places this week, as well as taking a dive into the uncharted waters of artificial intelligence.

The team steps into the fire-ravaged ruins of Exeter’s Royal Clarence Hotel to hear how a huge redevelopment scheme has started this week, and hears how Plymouth’s landmark Civic Centre could be in line for an uplift.

A veteran politician discusses how the new shape of Devon could be hammered out in the coming months, and a baton relay with a life-saving message is heading to the county later this year.

There’s an expert view on artificial intelligence, and a tempting cheese course to complete the feast.

It's all in the latest edition of Devoncast, from Radio Exe and the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
