Price Hike Day, Rhubarbs Revival, Whisky Bandits

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Its the start of a new financial year and with it comes a whole raft of price rises for bill payers from council tax, to water, to energy. We have two experts on hand who can give the lowdown on what's going up and what consumers might be able to do to mitigate the impact. As rhubarb continues to grow in popularity we hear from a 4th generation rhubarb farmer who's doing 12 hour days 7 days a week to try to keep up with the demand. And a social media star baker tells us how this vibrant pink veggie has become a major food trend on Instagram and TikTok as a new, younger generation have developed a taste for it. And Winifred Robinson talks to award-winning investigative journalist Sam Poling about her new BBC Scotland investigation into cask whisky investments scams. All episodes of 'Disclosure: Hunting the Whisky Bandits' are available now on BBC Sounds https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0029kxz PRESENTER - WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER - CATHERINE EARLAM
