Hey everyone, welcome to this week's edition of the Whanganui Chronicle Podcast.
It's a wrap of some of our biggest and favourite news stories with a bit of insight into the Chronicle newsroom and what goes into producing your local news.
It's been windy, right? Well that's created a lot
of mayhem and news. Perhaps the most touching was a group of 20 motorists who stopped to clear SH1 of fallen branches.
We discuss this week's weather plus much more, including a newly qualified surf lifesaver who made a rescue before he started duty, our own Between the Flags campaign, the festival of cricket hosted here in Whanganui and a vigil for those affected by the Australian bush fires.
Opera and Whanganui tennis star Paige Hourigan also get an airing.
