2PP010 – 1 July 2009

2PP_Album_art_smallIt’s out tenth 2Political episode! Jason’s special days begin the show, and Arthur follows that with a Pride 48 recap. We talk about Republicans’ problems with malfunctioning zippers. Minnesota finally has two senators! Talk of a “super majority” for Senate Democrats is over-blown. We then talk about a Republican nut in Maryland and other nutty Republicans—as well as hyperbole in political debate. Where is the US’ opposition party? The Supreme Court also gets a look. Finally, we have comments on our previous episode. That raises topics we discuss

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 158 – Super Friday

amerinz_podcast_150x150This is my last podcast for May, and we’re about to have a holiday weekend—(Every) Queen’s Birthday. Today I start by telling you about some NZ news, including the arrest of an alleged “HIV predator”. The Prop 8 decision has had some reaction in this part of the world, where the debate is different. Today I also share my feeling on how we move forward.

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.

2PP006 – 5 May 2009

2PP_Album_art_smallJason’s special days span the globe, but Arthur adds one from space. We begin talking about the flu outbreak, especially how the media did in reporting about it. Was New Zealand’s media coverage any different? From there it’s a discussion of President Obama’s first 100 days, which then leads to a discussion of Arlen Specter changing parties and the two main parties generally. Arthur mentions a podcaster’s challenge, and why the right just doesn’t “get” new media or the Internet Age.

There are extensive comments on the last episode, so we don’t read them all. Instead, we talk about them and the topics they raise. Back in 2 weeks!

AmeriNZ 153 – After the holiday

amerinz_podcast_150x150Easter and our holiday are over, so it’s back to normal. I begin by talking about some useless information about Easter, then a bit about our time off. Then, finally, I tell you a bit about the new Auckland, and that features some special commentary. Be back later this week with a 2Political Podcast.

AmeriNZ 144 – NZ bits

amerinz_podcast_150x150I begin today with a few notes and updates, especially about the Australian bush fires. Then, a gay NZ politician is moving onto the world stage. The former Prime Minister may, too. The “politicasts” are becoming a separate podcast called “2 Political” (but I’ll still post them to AmeriNZ for awhile, anyway). The posts to Podomatic will end on March 27. Yesterday was the final day of the “Internet Blackout” campaign, and I tell you what that was all about and the development that cancelled yesterday’s podcast. I’ll be posting my two-year anniversary episode on Friday, March 27.
