On our final First Up pod for 2022 with Anna Thomas - we touch down in the USA with Bevan Hurley and Nabil Ahmed in Africa; and it's fruit of the year time with our Minister of Fruit and Veggies; former soldier Tenby Powell discusses his efforts to galvanise support for Ukraine; we bring you a guide to what's happening in Christchurch this summer and we have a poem from New Zealand's poet laureate Chris Tse to see out 2022. Meri Kirihimete! First Up - Voice of the Nathan!
