Jamie McIvor speaks to the departing chairman of Scottish Financial Enterprise.

Presented by Jamie McIvor (standing in for Graham Stewart).

The departing chairman of Scottish Financial Enterprise, John Campbell, reveals his concerns about the consequences of the government owning banks. 

Laura Maciver reports on the business of staging performances and discovers why it's so difficult to turn a profit at Edinburgh's Fringe Festival.

And, with a survey suggesting that companies who do business overseas are growing faster than those who only do business at home, we talk to two companies who've done just that. Richard McLelland is UK Sales Manager for Fraserburgh-based brewery Brewdog and Andy Bing is sales director for salmon farming company Loch Duart, based in Sutherland.
