AmeriNZ 296 – Preparing

Posted on February 2, 2013 by Arthur

I start today talking about New Zealand broadcaster Paul Holmes, who died today. Meanwhile, we’re waiting for stuff. Then, I give an update about the select committee hearing oral submissions on the marriage equality bill. I have some strong views; you may disagree, so feel free to comment. A record number of Kiwis are leaving for Australia. But the Big Mac Index says the NZ dollar is pretty good.

There are several ways to send me an audio message—this earlier post lists them.

AmeriNZ 295 – Waiting

Posted on January 25, 2013 by Arthur

We’re waiting for stuff, especially a three-day holiday weekend. We’re doing some stuff, may do other stuff. I was a grumpy Kiwi the other day, which gives me a chance to talk about some items in the New Zealand news—including a cat fight, a story that was reported internationally. I update the hosting search and also tell you about my pushing for a better deal for podcasters.

A new 2Political Podcast episode is scheduled for next week.

AmeriNZ 294 – Experimental

Posted on January 17, 2013 by Arthur

I begin today with a “Parliament Update”: It started with an update on the marriage equality bill, then moved on to the bill to force charter schools on us, submissions for which close next week. After that, I play various audio files sent to me, and comment on what they say as well as how to use those methods (don’t worry, there won’t be a quiz on that). If you send me a contact request on Skype, please tell me you’re real so I know you’re not a spammer.

Jason and I recorded a new 2Political Podcast episode this week, and it’s now posted.

AmeriNZ 293 – Resumption

Posted on January 14, 2013 by Arthur

A new year, a new start. That means updates, starting with the holidays and moving on through the diet as well as some things a bit more exciting (for me, anyway…). Then, it’s a whole bunch of updates about various podcasts I’ve been part of, including this one. The voicemail phone line is no more, so I offer some suggestions on how you can send me an audio message.

We’re recording a new 2Political Podcast this week, and there will be a new The Third Colony on FarpointRadio.com soon (maybe even this weekend!). And THIS podcast will be back again soon!

By the way, I’ve made a slight change to the way I do links: They’re still clickable on the website, but I’ve also included them in parenthesis so people can get the links from the MP3 file details without having to go to the website. I wanted to try this to make sure it works the way I intend it to before I mention it on the podcast itself.

This AmeriNZ Podcast Special Presentation is Episode 298 of The Egonomist, the first New Zealand podcast I’ve ever been a guest on.

AmeriNZ 292 – Briefly

Posted on December 14, 2012 by Arthur

AmeriNZ 291 – Aftermath

Posted on November 14, 2012 by Arthur

This is a short episode just about the aftermath of the US election, well, as it affected me. I have two voicemails that kind of nicely bookend the whole thing, too. This is not really about politics, by the way.

Next episode is inspired by another voicemail. Feel free to call or write me with questions or suggestions (just let me know if you don’t want it played/read on the show).

AmeriNZ 290 – Springy

Posted on October 29, 2012 by Arthur

Today’s episode is all about catching up on a some of what I’ve been up to. I share a weird encounter with YouTube. I also have some updates about the Marriage Equality Bill. Then, I turn to some talk about Pride 48 and podcasting in general, introduced by a clip from Auntie Vera Charles. A voicemail lets me expand on a topic, and then I’m done for today.

AmeriNZ 289 – Miscellany

Posted on September 14, 2012 by Arthur

Today’s episode is a bit of this, a bit of that. I start with an example of a problematic Kiwi accent, then after passing the pending marriage equality bill, I move on to a few stories in the NZ news that caught my eye. Finally, it’s an update on what’s going on here before the real finally, comments. Join us on Pride 48 this weekend!

Posted on August 28, 2012 by Arthur

This is not a typical podcast—recorded by a guest host, and very short. But it was all done with good intentions. A normal episode next week.
