amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016Well, who’d have thought it? We had sun today! Not only that, but sun is predicted for tomorrow and Friday! I am shocked.

Today I begin by talking about why the weather’s been so bad, and how it recently unveiled a new problem I have to deal with. That moved me into related topics, including my organising system, which I’ll come back to next month. Finally, a bit of fun to end the episode.

AmeriNZ 381 – Royal May

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016Today I have THREE topics! First is a citizenship path (finally!) for New Zealanders living in Australia, then how the rich in New Zealand aren’t paying their fair share of tax (and how the NZ news media didn’t handle either topic very well). Then, the coronation of the King of New Zealand. I’ll be watching, but the oath of allegiance is stupid.

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016Today is about a plan I designed to help me keep on track. It’s based on a system I designed for myself when I was a grassroots LGBTQ+ activist 30 years ago. I’m optimistic it’ll help me stay focused and remember things, but… well, time will tell.

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016This year isn’t very old, but so much has happened already! The prime minister resigned, we got a new one, and there have been a lot of bad storms. If I hadn’t already been taking a break, I’d need one now!

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016It’s the end of 2022! I took advantage of my last opportunity to record in December and 2022 to do a little update episode. I’m not exactly sad to see 2022 go, but I’m definitely better than I was a year ago tonight. That’s a very good thing.

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016The weather has been shocking lately, and that’s interrupted my outside projects. I begin today’s episode talking about that, and a bit about the background to all the outside work. Then I move on to a completed project—yes, it happens sometimes. Even I’m surprised. After that, it’s a couple bits in the New Zealand news.
