AmeriNZ 282 – Fact or fiction

This podcast comes to you from my new desk. Exciting, I know (well it should be, because now I’ll stop talking about it!). Today I begin by talking about a few stories from the New Zealand news before moving on to my main topic: Statistics New Zealand has examined “some common beliefs about population in New Zealand to see whether they hold any truth.” I think their mythbusting is interesting, so I share some of that today.

AmeriNZ 281 – Colds

We’ve been cold and had colds—not fun. But today I begin with a little update on what we’ve been up to, including some technological stuff (yeah, it surprises me, too). I move on to phone messages that allow me to comment further. Then to wrap up this episode, I pay tribute to my friend, known on this podcast as Lord Byron of Illinois, who died June 10. I talk a bit, too, about online friendships being real friendships—because I think they are. And that includes all of you who I know only through this podcast, by the way.
