AmeriNZ 194 – At home

Posted on by
3

amerinz_podcast_150x150Today 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.

AmeriNZ 191 – Holidays End

Posted on by
1

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 189 – Year’s End Live Chat

Posted on by
4

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

Posted on by
Reply

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.

AmeriNZ 187 – Not Quite

Posted on by
Reply

amerinz_podcast_150x150I wasn’t quite ready to record a studio podcast earlier this week (or last week), so here’s one now. After talking about what’s been going on, I get into comments and emails that have sort of piled up recently.

A new 2Political is coming in a day or so.

Special note: This week’s Live podcast has been cancelled. There won’t be one next week, either (Thanksgiving Day in the US), so the live show will return in TWO weeks (December 3, 2009).

AmeriNZ 186 – Real or not?

Posted on by
1

amerinz_podcast_150x150Recorded live and presented mostly unedited, this episode has some sound issues. Joining me for today’s Live Chat on Pride48.com were regular panellist LurryDean, as well as Larken, Lord Byron from Illinois and Brother Cinaedus.

The Internet has changed everything—the way we shop, the way we get information, the way we do politics and even the way we relate to one another. New forms of communication and social interaction have sprung up, bringing new opportunities for friendship and more.

Some sneer at “online relationships”, as they’re sometimes called, even when they turn into something deep and permanent. Yet even cynics would agree they allow us to learn about different people in different places. But does that make them “real”? If there’s someone we get to know only through online chats, Twitter, Facebook, Skype or whatever, and we never meet them in real life, can they ever be considered a “real” friend? Or, is it similar to casual friends and acquaintances we make through work or community groups? Could it be something different and new, something society hasn’t fully adjusted to yet?

After that topic, we talk a bit about religions involvement in GLBT politics: Rge Roman Catholics attempting to blackmail the Washington, DC city council and the Mormons endorsing a GLBT-rights law in Salt Lake City. That’s a wide-ranging discussion that even loops back to the main topic.

From next week, these live chats will be about 45 minutes.

Join us on for the next live podcast on Pride48.com for a lively, wide-ranging discussion. The next live chat starts at 8pm Eastern North American time on Thursday, November 19 (2pm Friday, November 20 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.

AmeriNZ 185 – Live Chat: What Now?

Posted on by

amerinz_podcast_150x150Recorded live and presented unedited (be warned): Joining me for today’s Live Chat on Pride48.com were regular panellists Steven in Wisconsin and LurryDean, as well as Larken.

After thirty-one defeats in a row, and despite a narrow win in Washington State, radical religious extremists have been emboldened by their victory in Maine and are marching on in their campaign to deny GLBT people ALL civil and human rights, not just the right to marry. How do we fight back—and win? Sure, we have to wage mighty grassroots campaigns, but how do we fight a lie? How do we take on scaremongering? How do we defeat the radical religious extremists without coming across like we think all religion or religious people are our enemies? How do we put an end to the nonsense of people being able to vote on who is and who is not an equal citizen? What do we need to do right now to turn the tide?

Toward the end of today’s episode we talk about all sort of things, some of it related to today’s topic, most of it not. That’s the point of a group show, after all.

Posting of the recorded version of this episode was delayed by my heavy work commitments.

Join us on for the next live podcast on Pride48.com for a lively, wide-ranging discussion. The next live chat starts at 8pm Eastern North American time on Thursday, November 12 (2pm Friday, November 13 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.

AmeriNZ 183 – Live chat: WHAT Agenda?

Posted on by
7

amerinz_podcast_150x150Recorded live and presented unedited (be warned): Joining me for today’s Live Chat on Pride48.com were regular panellists Steven in Wisconsin and LurryDean, as well as Brother Cinaedus and Larken. Today we look at the gay “agenda”.

The radical right goes on and on about the “Gay Agenda”. We find that hilarious, because we can’t agree on what we should be trying to accomplish, let alone what our priorities should be. Agenda? It’s not even as strong an action plan as a grocery list is.

What we seek is really a simple objective: To be treated as equal citizens. There are many things needed to get there, like passage of ENDA, for example. Should we prioritise what we want and need to happen, or should we just “go with the flow”? Does it even matter what order things happen in?

This leads into all sorts of related topics: Race, religion, and more—all the sorts of things that people aren’t supposed to talk about (unless they’re Arthur, who talks about little else). We even talk about t-shirts. Daniel Brewer joins us toward the end, after Arthur dares to paraphrase him. Sadly, we lost Brother Cinaedus part way through. Still, it was a lot of fun, and anyone is welcome to join us!

Join us on for the next live podcast on Pride48.com for a lively, wide-ranging discussion. The next live chat starts at 8pm Eastern North American time on Thursday, November 5 (1pm Friday, November 6 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.

AmeriNZ 182 – Normal again

Posted on by
Reply

amerinz_podcast_150x150Well, I’m a chatterbox today! I tell you a bit about the weekend and a health update before moving onto something from the news—an update to something I’ve talked about previously. I also tell you about a couple things happening in New Zealand on November 1. That’s after Halloween, of course—but I doubt many Kiwis would notice that. I tell you why. A phone message and comments round out the episode.

A new 2Political is coming soon, possibly early next week. Also, join us on for the next live AmeriNZ Podcast on Pride48.com, starting at 8pm Eastern North American time on Thursday, October 29 (1pm Friday, October 30 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.
