Posted on by

amerinz_podcast_150x150I begin today with a story about produce. Well, it’s an international dispute, really. Then it’s on to the story of the fall from grace of New Zealand’s first openly-gay Member of Parliament. A jet even gets a mention today. Phone messages and comments round out this episode.

Join me on Pride48.com for a LIVE AmeriNZ Podcast on Thursday at 7:30pm Eastern (in the Americas, 11:30am Friday in New Zealand).

Be sure to listen to Nigel LIVE on The Third Colony Saturday, 9-11pm Eastern (in the Americas, 1pm Sunday in New Zealand) on qnation.fm. Go to their website for how to listen, or to join the chatroom.

AmeriNZ 227 – Still Winter

Posted on by

amerinz_podcast_150x150It’s Maori Language Week, but I’ve talked about that twice (see links), so I’m taking this year off. I start today talking about our weekend, which I don’t do all that often. In the news, the government is changing the alcohol limits for those caught drink-driving. I meander through news and history before moving on to comments, where I meander through news and history—um, yeah.

Be sure to listen to Nigel on The Third Colony Saturday, 9-11pm Eastern (in the Americas) on qnation.fm. Go to their website for how to listen, or to join the chatroom.

Today’s closing music is “Crowing” by Glen Phillips.

AmeriNZ 226 – Claws

amerinz_podcast_150x150I recorded this on Wednesday and I thought I had some things to edit. Time passed. I thought I’d just re-record, then I listened again and thought, “what the hell?”. So, here—a few days later—is that episode.

I begin with a cautionary tale about language. Then, it’s on to New Zealand politics and my “analysis” of what’s going on. A Bella Report continues today’s theme before we head to comments, audio and written. Thank you all!!

Today’s closing music is “Run to the Music” by Degrees.

AmeriNZ 225 – Busy day talk

Posted on by

I am busy, but with ordinary life this time. Still, I take time to talk with you. First up, I talk a bit about Creative Commons licensing, and how that sort of thing is the future. From there, it’s a talk of the massive fee increases that US citizens living in New Zealand have to deal with. I once praised the US embassy in NZ, but it’s not so great after all. Don’t forget Nigel’s show on Saturday (Americas)!

amerinz_podcast_150x150Busy again (some things don’t change). There’s been a lot going on, starting with Pride 48 and work, too. I also tell you about Nigel’s new show. An odd story in the news caught my eye. I have lots of comments that let me talk about other things. I may only have one episode next week, too.

Ep223-Art300This episode was recorded live on Pride 48, the 48-hour podcasting marathon, on Saturday, June 26, 2010. Joining me were Nigel, Daniel Brewer and Scotty, the Little Aussie Battler. This is episode is different from my others, and not just because it’s live or 90 minutes long.

I’ll post a regular episode soon.

AmeriNZ 222 – Busy Week Ahead

Posted on by

amerinz_podcast_150x150I start out today talking about Pride 48, the 48-hour live podcasting marathon. It begins with a kick-off show at 8pm Eastern on Friday, June 25 in the Americas (9pm Saturday, June 26 in New Zealand) and ends 48 hours later. As host of Pride 48 for 2010, I’ll be on the kick-off show and the wrap-up show. My own live show is 5:30am-7am June 26 Eastern time in the Americas (9:30pm to 11pm New Zealand time). I’ll record that show and post it the following week.

I then give yet another update on a story I talked about before. The annual nude rugby game was a bit of harmless silliness. Naturally, far right christianists were apoplectic over TV news reports. New Zealand wants to turn off its analogue television. A new report finds that illegal downloads in New Zealand haven’t hurt the recording industry, despite its claim they have in order to try and get a hard new copyright law in place. The pace of emigration to Australia has picked up, despite the current government’s promise to make people want to stay in New Zealand. That means that things are actually worse since this government took power. The New Zealand All Whites have done well at the FIFA World Cup. Finally, I comment on the abrupt name change for one of my favourite podcasters.

AmeriNZ 221 – Things you miss

Posted on by

Ep221-Art200I have both New Zealand updates AND a short topic today. Not only that, it’s my second podcast this week! I can’t remember the last time I did that. After NZ news (including an update), it’s on to today’s short topic: There are some unusual things I miss about the US, and today’s show art shows one (thanks for the photo, Lord Byron of Illinois!). I talk about that and a few other random things—not the sort of things that most people think about. Comments let me further comment on an earlier topic.

AmeriNZ 220 – Getting things done

Posted on by

amerinz_podcast_150x150It’s a rainy day and a Monday, but I’m not down—even though it’s winter. I give you an update to the hooker and he bank. Then some Members of Parliament are in trouble over their spending. A Kiwi television show is about to be re-imagined for US television, so I talk about that and British programmes re-done for America. An Audioboo promo leads on to comments, and we’re done (btw, I screwed up the address, so click the link below).

AmeriNZ 219 – Wintry Wednesday

Posted on by
3

amerinz_podcast_150x150It’s winter in New Zealand; I don’t care what the calendar says. Today I tell you about our holiday weekend, then it’s on to some things from the news: Will Riff Raff be allowed to live in New Zealand? Will the hooker get to keep the bank’s millions? Will the mail still make through the gloom six days a week? Will pendants succeed in locking-down the English language? Will I think of another question to ask?

Something in the PO Box, a phone comment, a written one and my first Audioboo, all in one episode! Great value for the price you pay! (yes, I’m being silly today).
