Best of First Up for Wednesday 5 August

On the podcast today: a newlywed couple seperated by border closures plead for a pacific bubble; their texts and emails may paint a damning picture - but Tauranga City Councillor's are adamant they can be trusted; we hear about how lockdown inspired one woman to turn a hobby into her job and a call for NZ On Air to renew funding for its Pasifika and Asian Storytellers initiative.
