Scotland has the unwanted label of being Europe鈥檚 drug death capital for the seventh year in a row.

Former head of the Scotland鈥檚 drug death task force, Professor Catriona Matheson (pictured), tells us how we got here - and what needs to be done to save even more lives.

And as concerns are raised about police uniforms, Natalie questions Martin鈥檚 sartorial choices on behalf and a concerned audience member.

Scotcast is the 麻豆社鈥檚 Scottish news podcast, with Martin Geissler, Laura Miller and Natalie Higgins.
