AmeriNZ 248 – Dark Days

This is a special edition of the AmeriNZ Podcast: All about the Christchurch Earthquake. I share a few observations and offer a few suggestions, but mostly I share what the prime ministers of various Commonwealth countries had to say, including the New Zealand prime minister.

Back next week with a normal podcast.

I’ll be joining Nigel for his The Third Colony show on Saturday, February 26 at 9pm EST (Americas; 3pm Sunday, February 27 NZDT).

AmeriNZ 247 – Tomato sauce

Today I have a few things I forgot to mention last time, and comments give me the opportunity to expand some more. But I start with some items from the New Zealand news before my first “Election Watch 2011” report.

AmeriNZ 246 – Home truths

I start today with a couple items from the news in this part of the world: A major cyclone about to hit Queensland and also the NZ prime minister has just announced the date of the 2011 NZ elections. But the main topic, about NZ houses, was inspired by a phone message. Comments, and my responses, are extensive (which I always like).
