amerinz_podcast_150x150The 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.

I hope to resume the live podcasts soon. Check back here or on the podcast Twitter feed, @amerinzpodcast.

AmeriNZ 191 – Holidays End

Posted on by

amerinz_podcast_150x150Remember, 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.

AmeriNZ Video 04 – From our deck

Posted on by

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.

AmeriNZ 190 – Arthur’s Back

amerinz_podcast_150x150Three 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.

AmeriNZ 189 – Year’s End Live Chat

Posted on by

amerinz_podcast_150x150Okay, 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).

AmeriNZ 188 – Tangled Web

amerinz_podcast_150x150This is my podcast for this week (no live show). I start out with some updates on New Zealand news, then talk a bit about civil unions news in the Commonwealth (inspired by an email from SteveINtheUKok).

From there, it’s the main topic, really a bit of a continuation from my last live show: Internet connections. A comment starts things off, then I expand on that, add a recent incident and tie it all up with a box before signing off.

There’ll be a new 2Political Podcast episode next week. Also, join us on the next live AmeriNZ Podcast on Pride48.com, starting at 8pm Eastern North American time on Thursday, December 3 (2pm Friday, December 4 New Zealand time). You can also join other listeners in the chatroom, where you can ask questions or make comments as the show is streamed.
