First Up - The Podcast, Wednesday 1 October

On today's First Up pod: The Whiteferns start their Cricket World Cup campaign tonight, taking on defending champions Australia in Indore. We catch up with slogger Maddy Green. We go to the big stories from the far corners of the earth with Nabil Ahmed in Ghana and Alex Baird in Doha. We'll hear a tune from the first Welsh singer to top the charts in America. And here at home, as the cost of living continues to bite - we hear what the struggle is like for those with blindness or low vision.
