Mark is joined by author Jenny Colgan and Elliot Steel as he tries to make sense of water companies dumping raw sewage into the sea, the chances of Scottish independence - and Elliot's recovery from a very nasty wrestling injury. Plus Fred Trueman on his childhood holidays splashing about in discharged nuclear waste, and a woman that Mark overheard in a cafe talking about the cost of living crisis.
