First Up - The Podcast, Friday 19 August

On today's First Up pod - Nick Truebridge in for Nathan today: It's Friday so we touch down in the USA and Africa as well as the fresh produce markets with the Minister of Fruit and Veggies; and parts of the country are getting hammered with deluges, flooding and slips. We speak to stranded locals - and look at how the weather is shaping up for the weekend with WeatherWatch's Philip Duncan. First Up - Voice of the Nathan.
