Posted on by
4

amerinz_podcast_150x150First up today I have an important announcement. Then, it’s all about me—as it should be, of course. I tell you about my Adventure Shopping, and then correct what may have been a grievous error (or not). I also tell you how old Bella is, and have some fun at the expense of other podcasters.

Note: I will not be doing a live show this week.

Archerr will do a live group show on Pride 48 starting at 8:00pm Eastern North American time on Thursday, April 29 (Noon Friday, April 30 New Zealand time). You can join other listeners in the chatroom, where you can also ask questions or make comments as the show is streamed.

AmeriNZ 210 – US Immigration Equality

Posted on by
4

amerinz_podcast_150x150The United States’ anti-gay immigration policy is “gratuitous cruelty,” according to US Representative Jerold Nadler, the chief sponsor of the Uniting American Families Act in the US House of Representatives. What’s happening to make US immigration law treat GLBT Americans fairly and equally, as many other countries—such as New Zealand—already do?

Joining me today to discuss that is Julie Kruse of Immigration Equality, an organisation dedicated to changing the law and helping bi-national couples.

Julie talks about the current state of the effort to change the law, as well as related issues. For example, how do issues like the Defense of Marriage Act affect immigration reform? How does the effort to make US immigration law treat GLBT people equally relate to comprehensive immigration reform? Ultimately, what’s the prospect for reforming US immigration law?

For me, this was an interesting and informative talk about an issue that affects me personally. Unfortunately, I made an error in the audio settings and the sound isn’t as good as it could’ve been. This is an interview I really enjoyed doing.

AmeriNZ 209 – Fourth Season Begins

Reply

amerinz_podcast_150x150This is the start of the “fourth season” of the AmeriNZ Podcast! I start today with some breaking news. Also, an American product will be made in New Zealand (for us, of course). It’s a four-day holiday weekend, and we’ll be busy—having fun!

I have a lot of work on right now, but I’m also working on the Pride 48 live podcasting marathon and getting ready for that I have some updates on something I’ll be doing, something in the news and something I think is interesting (in a funny kind of way). You may need to wash your ears afterward.

Archerr will do a live group show on Pride 48 starting at 8:00pm Eastern North American time on Thursday, April 1 (1:00pm Friday, April 2 New Zealand time). You can also join other listeners in the chatroom, where you can also ask questions or make comments as the show is streamed. I’ll be back as host the following week.

I also mix it up a bit, so be on the lookout for extra questions. All entries must be sent by Midnight (Eastern American Time) on Friday, March 26, 2010.

Okay, so I skipped yesterday. I make up for it today, question-wise. After talking a bit about how the NZ House of Representatives operates differently than the US one does. Then, I talk a bit about some things from the news: Mining conservation land, Auckland International Airport and “Blog Idol”. I also talk a bit more about nz.history.net.nz.

All entries must be sent by Midnight (Eastern American Time) on Friday, March 26, 2010.

Today I talk about some more differences between NZ and the US. First, I talk about healthcare (since the US House just passed reform in the US). Then, I compare the two forms of a government a little bit. It’s a short episode (I recorded a 2Political episode not long before…).

More tomorrow! A 2Political episode will be posted soon. There will be a live show this week AND a special interview. Whew!

I’ll be doing a live group show on Pride 48 starting at 8:00pm Eastern North American time on Thursday, March 25 (1:00pm Friday, March 26 New Zealand time).

I have an unusual topic today: A US article about when not to use debit cards. This lets me compare and contrast some everyday things between the US and New Zealand. But before that, I have been wronged by Big Fatty.

More tomorrow! A 2Political episode is coming soon, there will be a live show this week AND a special interview. Whew!

Then, it’s Autumn now, though technically it doesn’t start for a couple days yet, but the weather is already changing. I have a story from the news, then another that actually related to last week’s topic. And there’s a competition question, of course.

Archerr will be doing a live group show on Pride 48 starting at 8:00pm Eastern North American time on Thursday, March 18 (1:00pm Friday, March 19 New Zealand time).

AmeriNZ 202 – From the headlines

Posted on by
1

amerinz_podcast_150x150Recorded live and presented mostly unedited (be warned): Joining me for today’s Live Chat on Pride48.com were Archerr, Daniel Brewer, Larken and Wes Stone.

In this episode, we talk about some stuff in the news, starting with the Mississippi high school that cancelled its prom rather than allow a lesbian to attend with her female date. We also talk about a crazy poll, the California State Senator who was outed when he was arrested with another man, some “tenther” laws and other serious stuff. But we also talk about some internet and tech stuff—the Apple iPad, the Pride 48 podcasting marathon, Twitter as a customer service tool (really!), and a New Zealander caught up in the a craze. All kinds of stuff this week.

Archerr frequently does group shows like this (and he’ll be doing a group show next week) and you know what? It’s much easier than what I was trying to do. To me, it seemed like it flowed more smoothly and was more fast-paced. What do you think?

The next live AmeriNZ podcast on Pride48.com will be starting at 8:00pm Eastern North American time on Thursday, March 25 (1:00pm Friday, March 26 New Zealand time—new time due to change in US clocks). Join us! You can also join other listeners in the chatroom, where you can ask questions or make comments as the show is streamed.
