Today I have a couple unusual stories: A New Zealand radio host came out on a live nationwide broadcast. That lets me talk a bit about gay people on television in NZ. Ramble Redhead has a question about poo. Comments let me make what I hope are my final comments on the Australian KFC commercial. My voice is a bit croaky today—sorry.
I hope to resume the live podcasts soon. Check back here or on the podcast Twitter feed, http://twitter.com/AmeriNZPodcast.

The gout came back this week—what a way to start Birthday Week! Oh, well. I have some NZ news before getting into my main topic for today, which is a bit controversial. Have your say in the comments.

Remember, I did tell you it may be after January 11 before I resumed podcasting—and I was right!! Actually, I was part of three other podcasts since my last episode: A 2Political episode, an episode of There Are Some Who Call Me Tim and the Chrima Spectacular of Big Fatty Online. After telling you about that, I tell you about our holidays and what we did, and then I have two NZ news stories, something that’ll be a regular feature now. A phone message and I’m done—I want to start slowly!
I’ll be resuming the live podcasts soon, possible as early as this week. Check back here or on the podcast Twitter feed, @amerinzpodcast.

Don’t get excited: It’s been just over a year since my third video, and this is what you get after that long wait? Yep! I was trying out our new camera and decided to post some of the test so you can see a little of the area around our house. Plus, it’s summer here…
There will be real videos in 2010 and an audio podcast soon.
Important note: The video player on the website doesn’t work—click on “Play in Popup” or download the video. This is a podPress bug, nothing I can fix.

Three weeks: I think this may be the longest I’ve gone without recording a studio podcast (I’m too lazy to check that). I was extremely busy in November, and that even continued into December. Now I have a one more project to complete this week and things will ease up. Today I tell you why the country is called “New Zealand”, and how it has nothing to do with the letter “Z”. I also tell you about “zed” and “zee”. Two NZ news updates today, and I have a few written comments and a whole bucketload of voicemails. Twitter ends up being mentioned in several contexts (speaking of which, I have a new one called AmeriNZPodcast just for show updates.
There may be one or two AmeriNZ recorded podcasts before the end of the year, or early next year, but I’ll definitely be back after January 11. There’ll also be a new 2Political Podcast episode the last week of the year.

Okay, so this is longer than usual. In fact, it’s longer than I intended— a lot longer—but it’s the last live chat group show for the year. And about halfway through or so a special guest (Nigel!) joins us.
There was no particular topic for this show, and we talked about a lot of different things—some serious, some not. It was just a bunch of people having a conversation. The group this week included Steven in Wisconsin, Larken and Brother Cinaedus (unfortunately, Skype dropped him about halfway through).
