The Earl of Devon is this week's guest on Devoncast, as he takes over the editor's chair of Devon Life. 

It's just for a month, so the full-time editor Catherine Courtenary also joins us.

Lord Devon's had a seat in the House of Lords since 2019, as one of 92 hereditary peers, and has used the opportunity to speak on constitutional reform of the second chamber, and on why he favours titles being allowed to pass to daughters as well as sons, which now happens for the monarchy.

He's lots to say about education, housing and running an estate like Powderham Castle.

Also this week, local democracy reporter Guy Henderson takes a look round Broadmeadow Sports Centre in Teignmouth, which has had nearly four million pounds spent on it - to bring a tired 1970s' facility into the twenty-first century.

And in West Devon, the housing officers who want to make themselves redundant, but don't seem to be able to.

Join Paul Nero for all this and more on this week's Devoncast.
