First Up - The Podcast, Monday 8 September

From First Up Podcast, 6:30 am on 8 September 2025

On today's First Up pod with Melissa Chan-Green: hundreds of arrests on the streets of London, we have the latest from Europe and the U.S, where there's been a series of significant immigration raids; we review the weekend of sport with that epic test between the All Blacks and Springboks, and a dramatic win for the Black Ferns over Ireland this morning; Otago astronomer Dr Ian Griffin is up early watching the lunar eclipse - a blood moon and we catch up with Kiwi ultra runner Ruth Croft who's just made history by winning the holy grail of trail running. First Up - Voice of the Nathan!
