AmeriNZ 148 – Food

Posted on March 24, 2009 by Arthur

amerinz_podcast_150x150 It’s day two of my Anniversary Week. Today I start with updates on things I’ve talked about in previous episodes—including just yesterday. Cheese-in-a-can comes up again, as it were, which leads into a larger discussion of food. Yep, the AmeriNZ Podcast, where you’ll hear about the things no one else will tell you.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) will be a 2Political episode, and I plan to be back on Thursday with another AmeriNZ Podcast, followed by my Second Anniversary on Friday.

AmeriNZ 147 – End of the World

Posted on March 23, 2009 by Arthur

amerinz_podcast_150x150 Today is the start of Anniversary Week! The AmeriNZ Podcast will be two years old at the end of the week, and to celebrate I’m planning to podcast every day this week (though Wednesday will be a 2Political episode). I talk today about some of the realities of living at “the end of the world” (from a US or European perspective). I also share what may be a sign of the other meaning of the phrase—the end of everything.

AmeriNZ 145 – Home truths

Posted on March 11, 2009 by Arthur

amerinz_podcast_150x150 I begin today with a few a couple news items, including one about an American woman who was denied residence in New Zealand because she’s obese. For my main topic, I talk about some “home truths”, some truth and facts about New Zealand. This was inspired by some downright bizarre things I saw on some online forums. I talk about NZ houses, pay and taxes, public transport, crime and even prejudice. Whew! Feel free to ask about anything you’d like to know about.

AmeriNZ 142 – Strange Days

Posted on February 11, 2009 by Arthur

It’s been a bit unusual lately, especially the tropical weather in Auckland. But the big news here has been the Australian bush fires. I tell you a bit about that, especially New Zealand’s response. A voicemail lets me talk about schools in New Zealand and also whether it’s easier for GLBT people here than in the US. It’s a multi-faceted episode today!

AmeriNZ Video 03 – Auckland Christmas

Posted on December 26, 2008 by Arthur

For my third video, I thought I’d just show a few things from Auckland around Christmastime. This isn’t everything, obviously, but a few things that stand out for me. In the New Year, there will be more videos where I show you more of my Auckland.

Merry Christmas!

Note:

The file linked to this post is a revised version. The end of this video is silent due to a weird assertion over an incidental background music track.

AmeriNZ 131 – Podcasting in December

Posted on December 5, 2008 by Arthur

It’s been ten days since my last podcast, and I’ve been under enormous pressure to put out a new episode (Archerr). Seriously, I’ve been very busy for the past couple weeks or so, and today was the first chance I’ve had to record. Maybe I should’ve waited a little longer (I was a bit silly—well, for me, anyway).

So first I give some updates, including about our Thanksgiving. I also talk a bit about our plans for Christmas. I even tell you about Canadian politics! Well, you just never know what will turn up on the AmeriNZ Podcast!

AmeriNZ 128 – The NZ Election

Posted on November 13, 2008 by Arthur

New Zealand just elected a conservative-led government. What does that mean? How will it affect the GLBT people of New Zealand? Will our rights be under threat? I talk about all that today, as well as some of the good things to come from the election (yes, there were some).

AmeriNZ 101 – Getting to stay

Posted on July 15, 2008 by Arthur

In today’s snack-sized episode, I tell you what it was like to go through the process of becoming a permanent resident, what it felt like and what I was thinking at the time. I also tell you a little bit about the pope in Australia and a NZ connection to it. Soon, maybe Friday, I’ll be talking about becoming a Kiwi.

AmeriNZ 97 – We’re Number One

Posted on July 1, 2008 by Arthur

July 1 is Canada Day, the country’s birthday, so first I salute my fellow Commonwealth Citizens.

Then, I tell you how New Zealand is number one in something unusual. The NZ political party that’s currently polling in first place was revealed to be using a shady PR agency. And I also tell you how the AmeriNZ Podcast was Number One.
