AmeriNZ 158 – Super Friday

Posted on by
Reply

amerinz_podcast_150x150This is my last podcast for May, and we’re about to have a holiday weekend—(Every) Queen’s Birthday. Today I start by telling you about some NZ news, including the arrest of an alleged “HIV predator”. The Prop 8 decision has had some reaction in this part of the world, where the debate is different. Today I also share my feeling on how we move forward.

AmeriNZ 157 – Jury’s Out

Posted on by

amerinz_podcast_150x150I’m optimistic about today’s episode. It begins with some news—both mine and New Zealand’s. The talk of jury service last time generated a few comments, so I researched it a little more and today I tell you more about jury service in New Zealand. Finally, I have a few updates, including one related to Pride 48.

2PP_Album_art_smallWe begin with Jason’s special days, but today’s episode is mostly a discussion with our first guest, Peter (aka epilonious). We look at civility on the Internet, the origins and implications of the lack of civility. It’s a wide-ranging discussion, and other political issues come up, too, including how to deal with religious arguments. We wrap up with our advice and strategies for avoiding “uncivility wars” on the Internet.

After the discussion, we have comments on our previous episode. That raises topics we discuss. Join the discussion!

AmeriNZ 156 – Twice is nice

Posted on by
6

This is the first time I’ve been able to record two episodes in one week since early April—time for more updates! First, a new law requiring that immigration consultants be licensed has caused problems for some migrants. The Auckland “super city” legislation is now before Parliament. What are the most boring things that people can talk about? I apply it to podcasts. Do I have any listeners in the UK? Phone messages let me expand on topics.

AmeriNZ 155 – Today is tomorrow

amerinz_podcast_150x150It’s been nearly two weeks since my last solo podcast, so I thought today I’d update some things. I start by telling you what we did for Mothers’ Day (Fathers’ Day in NZ/Aus is the First Sunday in September). As winter begins, I tell you about news items: First, Auckland was ranked the fourth most liveable city in the world (Kiwis don’t care about that, really). Another survey found New Zealand was the 8th happiest country in the world out of ten. New statistics are out about marriages and civil unions. Who would the New Zealand Prime Minister “turn gay” for?

May is New Zealand Music Month, and if I can locate enough podsafe artists I may put together an episode sometime before the end of the month. At the end of June, I’ll be joining other GLBT podcasters in Pride48 in which we’ll all be doing live-streaming shows over Pride Weekend, starting at 7pm US Eastern Time on June 26. I don’t know what time I’ll be doing the live show, but I’ll let you know. There will also be a live chatroom so you can chat with me and other listeners.

We’re number eight! my blog post on the recent survey about New Zealand.
Like a whole other country my blog post on civil unions and the Prime Minister’s “gay choice”.

2PP_Album_art_smallJason’s special days span the globe, but Arthur adds one from space. We begin talking about the flu outbreak, especially how the media did in reporting about it. Was New Zealand’s media coverage any different? From there it’s a discussion of President Obama’s first 100 days, which then leads to a discussion of Arlen Specter changing parties and the two main parties generally. Arthur mentions a podcaster’s challenge, and why the right just doesn’t “get” new media or the Internet Age.

There are extensive comments on the last episode, so we don’t read them all. Instead, we talk about them and the topics they raise. Back in 2 weeks!
