On this week's show Alex chats to What's On reporter Robin Murray about a bizarre sight he witnessed at a rave in Bristol. Robin tells us how the story quickly went national and how he tracked down the mystery reader raver involved.


Then Alex has a chat with senior reporter and mum-of-two, Emma Grimshaw about something close to her heart. Emma recently penned a piece about co-sleeping with her new-born baby, whether it's safe and how she has found the official advice unhelpful. Emma has recently returned to work after maternity leave so she also talks about what it's like balancing parenthood and journalism.


Lastly on the show, Joe Smith talks about his work delving into the world of Gumtree housing scams that have cost one victim almost £2,000. Joe explains how these scams work and why people are falling for them.
