amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016Despite a few obstacles, I’m back. First, though, I give the end of the story I talked about in the previous episode: New Zealand got a government. Mainly, though, I talke about the several obstacles to my being able to podcast (or blog, for that matter).

AmeriNZ 335 – Cliffhanger

Posted on by
Reply

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016This is the final podcast I recorded before the New Zealand General Election, and the short version is that the election’s a toss-up. I talk about why that is, some possible scenarios, and some of the things that may change that.

Special Note: To comply with New Zealand Election Law, I will not respond to any comments between the hours of 12am and 7pm NZST Saturday, September 23, 2017. I will attempt to turn on comment moderation, and if I’m successful, all comments will be held in a queue until after 7pm NZST Saturday, September 23, 2017 (maybe even later, because I’ll be watching election result coverage…)

AmeriNZ 332 – Changes

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016Political upheaval, people leaving, people arriving—but this is about New Zealand. There were big changes this week, and there may be some more. This is my main topic this episode.

I’ve been sick lately, which kept me from podcasting and blogging. This was my third bad cold this winter, but that’s happened before. Still, Spring is on the way—eventually.

AmeriNZ 330 – Sunny Day

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016TWO episodes within one week? What is this madness?! Well, I had some new audio equipment I wanted to try out, so why not do a real podcast instead of merely tests? That’s what I thought, anyway.

Today’s title refers to the fact that today is our dog Sunny’s ninth birthday. She even says hello at one point. Apart from that, it’s talk about New Zealand’s upcoming elections. Finally, a few updates, including a little bit about what equipment I was testing and why.

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016Despite the tail end of a winter cold, I was determined to resume recording. So, I did,. This episode is mainly an update on what’s happened since I last recorded, including our move. It’s the main reason I’ve been missing—and missed the tenth anniversary of the AmeriNZ Podcast.

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016The date for New Zealand’s parliamentary elections has been announced, and I talk about that first, as well as about how New Zealand elections work. I also talk about the politics of all this—the state of the Left in New Zealand, the prospects for the National Party winning a fourth term, what Winston Peters could do, etc. There’s also a personal update at the end, too.

AmeriNZ 326 – Summertime

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016We finally got some summer weather! We had pleasant holidays, but this time of year is very quiet and that’s both good and bad (probably mostly good). My birthday is tomorrow! That will keep me from paying any attention to the hoopla in Washington, DC.

amerinz_podcast_150x150I made Thanksgiving Dinner this year! I talk about that first. Then, it’s on to the recent US election, and how it could affect expats as well as New Zealand. Then, I talk about the results of the NZ local government elections. There were good results. After that, it’s ome updates on how I’m doing, plus I share some of my confusion over “content creation”.
