This week Andy and Dave get all serious about cetaceans: that's whales, dolphins and porpoises to you.

We look at Japan's attempts to restart commercial whaling, the killing and eating of dolphins at Taiji, and then take a look at what those folk on the Faeroe Islands get up to.

This leads into a somewhat heated debate about the nature of cetaceans and whether or not they are special animals. From here we get into a wider discussion concerning man and his place within the animal kingdom.

Heavy, man - but don't worry - there are still a few quips!

On the musical front we return to alternative rock, as Andy's band STAVKA perform "Vinegar Tom" for your listening pleasure.
