AmeriNZ 284 – Warmer

Posted on July 13, 2012 by Arthur

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

Posted on July 11, 2012 by Arthur

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.

AmeriNZ 282 – Fact or fiction

Posted on June 27, 2012 by Arthur

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

Posted on June 19, 2012 by Arthur

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.

AmeriNZ 279 – Proper Words

Posted on May 18, 2012 by Arthur

I begin today by talking about what happened in New Zealand after President Obama declared his support for marriage equality. I’ve never seen anything quite like it. Then I talk about something I’m working on before moving on to voice messages. The first message lets me update what was the main topic recently—including a very weird development. At the end, there’s a mention of Pride 48.

AmeriNZ 278 – Full of GO

Posted on April 18, 2012 by Arthur

A Wednesday episode? And two in one week? Has the world gone mad?! No, I just decided I may as well podcast again this week to start getting back into the swing of things. I start with an update on my projects (includes “how to” information!). Basically, we’re all go! From there I talk about some things in the New Zealand news, starting with a couple things about Christchurch. Then, it’s on to major NZ political controversy, which lets me point out shortcomings of the current National Party-led government. Finally, some news relating New Zealand and the United States. It’s an action-packed episode! A voice message closes it out.

AmeriNZ 277 – Forward to the past

Posted on April 16, 2012 by Arthur

In this rare Monday episode I update where we are, and where we are not. This has been such a stressful period, but it is over. So, today I tell you where we’re headed. A voice message rounds out this episode.

AmeriNZ 276 – Sixth Sense

Posted on March 30, 2012 by Arthur

In this full episode, I update where we are, what we’re doing, and why this has been such a difficult period. The story is far from over. There are other things we’ve been up to, and I weave that into the story, before going on to New Zealand news. Voice messages round out this episode—it’s all here! Well, a lot of it, at least.

I may not be able to podcast next week, due to my big monthly work project; if not, I’ll be back after Easter.
