AmeriNZ 168 – Assorted miscellany

amerinz_podcast_150x150This is just a nattercast today, since I won’t have time tomorrow. I start with some updates (this IS a personal journal podcast!) and go on to other bits and pieces. It’s another cornucopia today! I have a little bit of a downer toward the end, but my reason for bringing it up is positive.

AmeriNZ 166 – Into the breach

amerinz_podcast_150x150It’s the 40th anniversary of the moonlanding! I start by talking a bit about that. Then, it’s clearing up a few things about Pride 48: I’ll be doing more live shows, some like the three recent ones, but also maybe group discussions of particular topics. What do you think? Then it’s on to comments, which have kind of piled up. I have brand-new theme music for phone comments! Why not call the line so I can play it again?

AmeriNZ 165 – AmeriNZ LIVE

amerinz_podcast_150x150This is a LONG episode! It’s the recorded version of a live show Nigel and I did on the Pride 48 Stream on Saturday afternoon, which was Friday evening in North America. We thought more people would be able to take part than last time, and we were right! This is a show about nothing, just a chat among a variety of folks—not all of them podcasters.

If we do this again, they’ll either be shorter or I’ll split them, but this time I didn’t plan for that. There are a few other minor details to perfect, too—like content, for example. Seriously, it was all just a bit of fun, and completely different from the regular podcast. It’s nice to take a break sometimes.

Also on this episode:

Daniel Brewer of Dubious Intent podcast.
Nessa of Stars & Tartan podcast.
David from That Blue Jeans Guy podcast.
Wes Stone of the Live it up! podcast.
Steven from Wisconsin also joins us.

AmeriNZ 163 – Pride 48 Sunday

pride48_125x125Nigel and I did ANOTHER live show on Pride 48 Sunday night, and this is the recording of that show. It’s a different kind of podcast—again—and we had a lot of fun. LurryDean joins us, too.

Plans are to repeat this not just next year, but also in 6 months or so. In the meantime, several podcasters are going to continue doing live shows, and this podcast may be one of them. I’ll let you know in advance if that happens.

AmeriNZ 159 – Recovering

amerinz_podcast_150x150I’m podcasting today despite my cold; I’m a giver. Today, I start by talking about swine flu, which is now a very big deal in Australia. Then, I update the story about the alleged “HIV predator”. That lets me mention a couple things about legal stuff in New Zealand. Finally, New Zealand has been ranked the most peaceful nation in the world. A comment, and I’m done.

AmeriNZ 157 – Jury’s Out

amerinz_podcast_150x150I’m optimistic about today’s episode. It begins with some news—both mine and New Zealand’s. The talk of jury service last time generated a few comments, so I researched it a little more and today I tell you more about jury service in New Zealand. Finally, I have a few updates, including one related to Pride 48.

AmeriNZ 156 – Twice is nice

This is the first time I’ve been able to record two episodes in one week since early April—time for more updates! First, a new law requiring that immigration consultants be licensed has caused problems for some migrants. The Auckland “super city” legislation is now before Parliament. What are the most boring things that people can talk about? I apply it to podcasts. Do I have any listeners in the UK? Phone messages let me expand on topics.
