The launch last week went even better than we'd hoped. I'm over the moon.
I thought I'd drop by to let you know this week's episode, Location, Location, Location, is out now.
Just like the first one, it's packed with tips, advice and anecdotes from experts and home owners on every aspect of buying your first home. It also comes with a chance to win a $500 Resene prize pack.
In episode 2, we talk to a first time buyer who moved from one end of the country to the other for a chance to get on the ladder, hear about apartments as a viable first home option and an expert gives us some tips on how to choose the right lawyer.
We all know buying a home is one of the toughest, most daunting things we might ever do as adults, so it doesn't hurt to get some expert advice and support. That's what we wanted to give you with First Rung.
Give episode 2 a listen and let us know what you think - and I hope you're all in to win that crackin' prize pack!

About 1,300 plants are now in the ground. Euon passed on the good wishes of the Mayor who was unfortunately unable to come.
Barry McEwen asked for volunteers to come along again this Saturday, 17 October when he hopes that about 1,000 more will be planted. These will be Flax, Carrex and toi toi, none of which need to be protected so the work will be quicker.

Sabrina Matara used to be a chef and has found the skills she learnt in a restaurant kitchen easily transfer to creating birthday treats for dogs.
She makes pupcakes and confectionery bones for dog parties.
Matara and her husband, Tama Tua, own the Furr Bro pet service and in-home dog care.
Furr Bro is just branching into dog parties; however, it is big business in many parts of the world. It is easy to find birthday party ideas and recipes online, and specialist shops are springing up..
Pupcake ingredients included bacon, bananas and honey and the accompanying bones contain beef stock and wholemeal flour.
Have you ever had a party for your dog?
