AmeriNZ 291 – Aftermath

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

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 288 – Mutiny

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.

AmeriNZ 287 – Extraordinary

I begin today with updates about what I’ve been up to, followed by talk about this year’s Pride 48 event (September 14-16). I move on to updates about things in the New Zealand news, including marriage equality. A phone message allows me to talk about another topic.

AmeriNZ 286 – Excellent

Some excellent news today—marriage equality in New Zealand is one step closer, so I talk about that first. In fact, it’s the whole reason I did a podcast today. I remembered a couple other updates (which is pretty excellent for me), and Jake, who was doing poorly last week is doing very well. Excellent. Finally, a comment let’s me say why I’ve used a one-word title for this episode, too. Excellent.

AmeriNZ 285 – Better

This is just an update podcast: Today and this week are both better, and even the weather got better. Yep, had some good developments this week—and one not so good one that still turned out okay. Once again, comments let me expand on topics. There’s even an easter egg this episode.

AmeriNZ 284 – Warmer

I had a chance to record a short episode, so I grabbed it! You may be sorry. I start with an update to an earlier report, talking about Christchurch. Next, it’s a bit about a couple stories in the US that are quite different here. A comment lets me talk about New Zealand’s general lack of anti-Semitism. I also get to talk more about the NZ Census!

AmeriNZ 283 – Colder

It’s been cold in Auckland this week. Last week was my busy week—with a twist. I’ll be part of a new podcast, but it doesn’t have a name. Leave your suggestion in the comments or ring the comment line. I also talk a bit about Pride 48. Congratulations to Ramble Redhead for 500 episodes! After that, I talk about a blog project I’ve been taking part in called ABC Wednesday. A comment lets me talk a bit about the upcoming New Zealand Census.
