First Up - The Podcast, Wednesday 26 February

On today's First Up pod: even a fleet of Chinese warships in the Tasman couldn't come between us and Pam Corkery in Brisbane; in the Middle East, Syrians begin discussion over the future direction of their country, Alex Baird is with us from Doha; all you Dick Johnson fans - there's a '99 Ford Falcon up for grabs in the wonderful world of TradeMe and First Up producer Matthew Hutching buckles up and checks out the sport of tree climbing. First Up - Voice of the Nathan!
