AmeriNZ 270 – Not in service

Posted on by
Reply

This is my last chance to post a podcast episode before the New Zealand elections. Because there have been several episodes in which I’ve talked about the election, I’ll turn on full comment moderation at or before midnight on Friday until the polls close at 7pm on Saturday, this to comply with New Zealand election law. You can still leave comments, but I won’t post them until after the polls close.

The title for today’s episode refers to the trouble I recently had with my podcast, as well as my recent jury service.

Next week I’ll finish talking about the election when I go over the results and what happens next. Soon, I’m going to revist old episodes I did on moving to New Zealand. Curious about any aspect of moving to New Zealand? Let me know!

AmeriNZ 269 – A fighting chance

Posted on by
1

I was determined to post a second episode last week, but the fates did not allow. This episode was recorded on Thursday, November 10, 2011. I mostly mention a bit more about the upcoming NZ election, and also go over some feedback, which lets me talk about other topics. I borrowed a podcaster’s bumper music for this episode—and yet, it hasn’t been played on a single podcast. Ah, a cryptic riddle! While I won’t use the bumper again, I will explain the riddle next episode.

I recorded this last Thursday afternoon, then attempted to post it later that evening. However, FileZilla, my FTP software, suddenly couldn’t connect to this site (I have no idea why), so I tried to upload manually through the web, which I finally figured out how to do Friday morning (it’s been years since I’ve done that…). That also didn’t work. After some unhelpful customer non-service from my host, Nigel suggested different FTP software, Cybeduck, and that, finally worked. I still have no idea why FileZilla suddenly stopped working, or why I couldn’t upload through the webhost’s own website.

All of which just goes to show that I’m probably the single most dedicated podcaster who doesn’t podcast very regularly.

AmeriNZ 268 – A Monday Episode

Posted on by
1

I didn’t have a chance to podcast last week, so I thought I’d record on a Monday for a change. I talk a little bit about news stuff, mainly the two recent non-holidays, one of which is introduced with a voicemail. Then, another phone comment introduces the next topic: The New Zealand election. Finally, another phone comment introduces the final topic: Who is New Zealand to get to do the haka before international rugby matches? A final written comment rounds out this episode.

AmeriNZ 267 – Champions

Today I begin by talking about the fact that New Zealand won the Rugby World Cup. As I would. It’s important to New Zealand, and I tell you why. I also talk about some of my impressions about the event. After that, I talk about the beginning of the New Zealand election campaign. New Zealand has gas problems. A sneaky life update follows. What’s up with Halloween?

I begin today by talking about all sorts of things I’ve been up to in the time between podcast episodes. Then I talk about some stuff in the NZ news, mostly revolving around the election, before moving on to comments.

AmeriNZ 264 – LIVE on Pride 48 for 2011

Posted on by
Reply

Earlier today I broadcast a live version of this podcast on Pride 48 as part of the 2011 live podcasting extravaganza. I was joined by a special guest—you’ll have to listen to find out who, but let’s just say it’s someone who was an inspiration for me becoming a podcaster. This podcast is unedited, including some Skype-related sound dropouts.

We talked about what the guest has been up to, then we even connected to Las Vegas so members of the live audience could ask questions. We also talked a bit about podcasting.

This was a very fun show for me—and apparently some others, too, and fun is what Pride 48 is all about.

On November 7, we’ll be doing another “State of the Station” to start planning next year’s Pride 48 Live Podcasting Extravaganza. Join us!

I’ll be joining Nigel for The Third Colony on farpointradio.com Saturday, September 24 at 9pm EDT (Americas; 1pm Sunday, September 25 NZ).

AmeriNZ 263 – Outside looking in

A mixed bag today! After a quick talk about New Zealand news, it’s on to my first topic: A response to Auntie Vera Charles, something expats should keep in mind. I also talk about why I’m so centred on politics—yes, there IS a reason. Listeners provide more examples for the Great Preposition Debate.

Join us this weekend for the Pride 48 Live Podcasting Extravaganza!

AmeriNZ 262 – NZ politics (sort of) special

Posted on by
Reply

Today’s is sort of a special episode, with about two-thirds being the valedictory speech of Chris Carter, New Zealand’s first openly gay Member of Parliament and, later, Cabinet Minister. His speech is included in its entirety (about 22 minutes). I think it’s important to document history, but it’s also something that a lot of people would never hear.

Before that, I talk about three things in the NZ news: Earthquake and Pike River updates and, in brighter news, the Rugby World Cup begins on Friday. People are getting festive over that.

Next time, I’ll have comments and voicemails and such.

I’ll be joining Nigel for his The Third Colony show on Saturday, September 10 at 9pm EDT (Americas; 1pm Sunday, September 11 in NZ).

AmeriNZ 261 – Curtain management

Posted on by
Reply

This much-delayed episode was recorded on a Monday! My theory was that if I started on a Monday, I might actually finish an episode before the week is out. Clearly, it worked! I start today talking a bit about all that, including some behind-the-scenes talk about how I make these podcasts.

I’ll no longer be available for someone else’s shows (apart from Nigel’s, of course) on our weekends (Friday and Saturday in the Americas). I’m guarding that time.

Most of this episode is taken up with voicemails and my response to the topics raised. At the end of the episode I talk a bit about upcoming recording this week, including a live show on Pride48.com on Monday at 9pm EDT (Americas, 1pm Tuesday NZ). That show, “State of the Station” is about Pride 48 and that event.

AmeriNZ 259 – Answering questions

Today I talk about topics raised by others in phone messages, an email and a comment, too. First, though, I share a couple items from the NZ news before talking about the NZ elections. I was mentioned in a post on a NZ political site over my call for strategic voting in one electorate.

Then I move on to topics provided to me. I think it’s an interesting variety of NZ-related topics.

I forgot to mention that I was part of the panel on the fourth episode of “This Week in Gay” podcast.
