AmeriNZ 160 – Thisandthat

Posted on June 12, 2009 by Arthur

amerinz_podcast_150x150 I finally have my schedule for Pride 48! I have a special announcement about that, too. After that, I have updates about stuff I’ve talked about before, including one where you hear about a super-secret test website. I have a Jake story, too. I have a few words to say about podcasters, then it’s on to a special feature: Another Last Word for the Week.

I will be live streaming on Pride 48 at 3AM EST (USA) Saturday, June 27. That’s 2AM Chicago time, Midnight Pacific time, 7pm Auckland, 5pm Sydney and 8am London.

2PP008 – 05 June 2009

Posted on June 6, 2009 by Arthur

2PP_Album_art_small As always, we begin with Jason’s special days, but today we have a VERY special day! From there, it’s a discussion of the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor. What do we think about the Supreme Court make-up? Arthur watched Faux News, and that relates to the president’s trip to the Mideast. Arthur corrects Faux News, which is easy to do. Arthur has a special adventure to share, one that relates to our previous episode.

After the discussion, we have comments on our previous episode. That raises topics we discuss. Join the discussion!

2PP007 – 19 May 2009

Posted on May 20, 2009 by Arthur

2PP_Album_art_small We begin with Jason’s special days, but today’s episode is mostly a discussion with our first guest, Peter (aka epilonious). We look at civility on the Internet, the origins and implications of the lack of civility. It’s a wide-ranging discussion, and other political issues come up, too, including how to deal with religious arguments. We wrap up with our advice and strategies for avoiding “uncivility wars” on the Internet.

After the discussion, we have comments on our previous episode. That raises topics we discuss. Join the discussion!

2PP006 – 5 May 2009

Posted on May 5, 2009 by Arthur

2PP_Album_art_small Jason’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!

Posted on April 9, 2009 by Arthur

Image EDIT Episode 4 continues our regular schedule of podcasting every other week (the next episode will be the week of April 20). After special news, we talk about President Obama’s trip to Europe. That leads to a wide-ranging discussion of international relations before we move on to talk about the auto industry. That leads to a concrete example of why it’s so important to the world that the US fixes its economy and gets credit flowing again. Comments on a variety of topics round out this episode.

Posted on March 25, 2009 by Arthur

2PP_Album_art_small Episode 3 begins our regular schedule of podcasting every other week (more or less…). After special news, a special announcement: 2Political has it’s own US-based comment line. Then it’s on to AIG and the implications of that whole situation. We say that reform, regulation and oversight will all be necessary. We then move on to talking about the plans to buy “toxic assets” and what that can mean. Back in a couple weeks!

2PP002 – March 12, 2009

Posted on March 13, 2009 by Arthur

Image EDIT The second episode of 2Political! After special news, a phone message lets us talk a bit more about earmarks. When did they become so bad? Are the Republicans right? Or can earmarks be good? We have even more comments to discuss. If you have something you’d like to see us discuss, or you have a question, feel free to leave a comment, send us an email or ring the AmeriNZ comment line (there’ll be a separate one eventually!) on 206-666-5172. The next episode of 2Political will be in 2 weeks.

2PP001 – March 5, 2009

Posted on March 6, 2009 by Arthur

2PP_Album_art_small This is the first of the stand-alone versions of what Jason and I used to call our “Politicasts”. You’ll be able to subscribe to this podcast separately if you want, but for the time being I’ll be posting it so subscribers to the AmeriNZ Podcast will get it automatically.

We begin today by talking about “Boss” Rush Limbaugh, and the disarray among Republicans. To move on from that sorry tale, Jason has two factoids. Back to the serious, Arthur brings up the revelations about the Bush memos that gave Bush legal cover for seizing dictatorial power, some of which he did. We had no idea until recently how bad it really was, and how bad it almost was. Should members of the Bush/Cheney regime be prosecuted? Then, some more Congress talk. What about giving Washington, DC real representation in the US House of Representatives (thanks for the topic, Kandi!)?

Feel free to visit our new website: 2political.com . You can also send an email to arthur[at) 2political.com or jason{at] 2political.com. 2 Political episodes will continue to be available through AmeriNZ Podcast for quite awhile, but iTunes subscription will be available soon. In the meantime, if you want to subscribe directly now, you can use http://feeds2.feedburner.com/2politicalPodcast.

AmeriNZ 143 – Politicast on the Stimulus

Posted on February 18, 2009 by Arthur

We’re finally back with our first Politicast since January. First up today, we announce the name for the new stand-alone political podcast we’re doing. Then it’s on to the economic stimulus, which President Obama signed into law today. We talk about some of the implications, and Jason also presents his ideas for helping ordinary homeowners. That leads to a talk of banks and the financial markets. Despite it all, we end on a positive note.

AmeriNZ 138 – Politicast for Inauguration Week

Posted on January 16, 2009 by Arthur

Jason and I are back with our first political chat of the year. I tried to improve the sound a bit this episode, with mixed results (I think Jason sounds better and I sound worse, and the file size was much too big). At any rate, I’m working to improve things.

In addition to the upcoming inauguration and the departure of Bush (finally!!!), we also share some news about what we’re up to. I’ll keep working on the sound, and I think the next political chat will be better still. The next one will be in early February.
