AmeriNZ 264 – LIVE on Pride 48 for 2011

Earlier today I broadcast a live version of this podcast on Pride 48 as part of the 2011 live podcasting extravaganza. I was joined by a special guest—you’ll have to listen to find out who, but let’s just say it’s someone who was an inspiration for me becoming a podcaster. This podcast is unedited, including some Skype-related sound dropouts.

We talked about what the guest has been up to, then we even connected to Las Vegas so members of the live audience could ask questions. We also talked a bit about podcasting.

This was a very fun show for me—and apparently some others, too, and fun is what Pride 48 is all about.

On November 7, we’ll be doing another “State of the Station” to start planning next year’s Pride 48 Live Podcasting Extravaganza. Join us!

I’ll be joining Nigel for The Third Colony on farpointradio.com Saturday, September 24 at 9pm EDT (Americas; 1pm Sunday, September 25 NZ).

Otherwise engaged

This weekend is the third annual Pride 48 extravaganza of GLBT and GLBT-friendly podcasts. The first two years, we did a 48-hour marathon of live shows streaming out over pride48.com. This year, we have around 20 shows sharing broadcast facilities and a live studio audience at the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

However, there are several of us who were not able to be there, so I’m coordinating about a dozen shows broadcasting like last year, from their respective studios. My own show will be at 5pm on Sunday, September 18 (Eastern time zone in the Americas, which is 9am Monday, September 19 here in New Zealand).

Overnight (Eastern time) this year we’re re-broadcasting the live shows from earlier in the day instead of trying to find folks willing to broadcast in the middle of the night.

So far, the event has gone well, apart from one non-Vegas show that didn’t happen for some reason. That meant I had to take over the broadcasting duties until the show due to follow was able to start, which happened about 15 minutes early.

It’s a pretty big deal for me, and that’s what I’m up to this weekend.

AmeriNZ 238 – Stop thinking in bumper stickers

This show was recorded live on Pride 48, with guests Daniel Brewer, Brother Cinaedus, Veritable Virgo and my husband Nigel.

What does a bad knee have in common with politics? Daniel launches the discussion with that, and we get into a bigger discussion of what’s wrong with US politics, and people’s attitudes toward it, what needs to happen, and more. We even look at some specific races and issues surrounding “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”.

I’ll be back for another AmeriNZ LIVE podcast on Pride 48 Thursday, November 4 at 8:00pm EDT (Americas, 1:00pm Friday, November 5 in NZ). I’m going to try a different mic next time—and I’ll start making these shorter, too.

AmeriNZ 236 – Live Pride 48 Townmeeting

Today’s show starts a regular series of live shows on Pride 48 as before. I’ll be alternating weeks (if another podcaster wants to take the other alternating weeks, let me know!). My shows will begin at 8pm Eastern (in the Americas).

This week is something different: A sort of Pride 48 Town Meeting on what we as a podcasting community—podcasters and listeners alike—can do to help prevent suicides among GLBT youth. Dan Savage’s “It Gets Better” Project is a great idea, and UKThom is putting together a video made by Pride 48 folks.

But what about those of us who primarily do audio? What can we do as podcasters and—especially—what can we do using Pride 48? We have the ability to reach many people, what’s the best way to use that?

We also talk about other things that we as podcasters could talk more about, including history and HIV/AIDS. This is a wide-ranging discussion around these issues, and definitely not for podcasters only.

I’ll be back for another AmeriNZ LIVE podcast on Pride 48 Thursday, October 21 at 8:00pm EDT (Americas, 1:00pm Friday, October 22 in NZ).

An important announcement

I’ll continue doing live shows on Pride 48, despite the end of My Honey Wears Plaid, but the shows will now begin at 8pm Eastern (in the Americas).

This week will be something very different (after a suggestion from Wes Stone of the Live It Up! podcast): I’m hosting a Pride 48 Town Meeting on what we as a podcasting community—podcasters and listeners alike—can do to help prevent suicides among GLBT youth. Dan Savage’s “It Gets Better” Project is a great idea, and UKThom is putting together a video made by Pride 48 folks.

But what about those of us who primarily do audio? What can we do as podcasters and—especially—what can we do using Pride 48? We have the ability to reach many people, what’s the best way to use that?

So put on your thinking caps, jot down some ideas, and join us on Pride 48 at 8PM EDT this coming Thursday, October 7, 2010 (Friday, October 8 at 1PM New Zealand time).

AmeriNZ 235 – Live on Pride 48 Again

Today’s show starts a regular series of live shows on Pride 48. I’ll be alternating weeks, roughly, with Honey of My Honey Wears Plaid.

I’m out of practice with these live shows, and thought I’d try some new settings. Well, that didn’t work too well, and the sound on the first 8 minutes is pretty awful, until I re-set my settings and the sound is less awful. It took me awhile to sort out the sound problems. This will get better over time.

Anyway (that’s for HatM), we started out talking about disaster preparations and then just followed the conversation wherever it lead. Joining us later was John Ong, who is one of the first gay podcasters back when podcasting began. We were also joined for awhile by Satyr69. After we finished, we continued on talking with John Ong who did a special show about podcasting.

I’ll be back for another AmeriNZ LIVE podcast on Pride 48 this Thursday, September 23 at 7:30pm EDT (Americas, 11:30am Friday, September 24 in NZ). Honey from My Honey Wears Plaid will be back on September 30.

AmeriNZ 229 – LIVE Politics and more

amerinz_podcast_150x150This episode is presented as streamed out over the Internet—in other words, not edited. For this very special LIVE episode of AmeriNZ, I’m joined by Daniel and TurnipHed. We take advantage of the opportunity to give an update on the Pride 48 DVD. Daniel is anal about audio—like we didn’t know.

We start by talking about the Proposition 8 ruling. Then we talk about marriage equality v. civil unions. We talk a lot about marriage—what it is and can be. Yeah, Glenn Beck is mentioned. Healthcare creeps into the discussion, and then lots of other stuff about American politics, and Daniel makes lots of good points, TurnipHed makes good points about Canada and Arthur mentions New Zealand: Yeah, you’ll have to listen to get the details.

Thanks to Honey of My Honey Wears Plaid for letting me borrow his time slot (I tried to put the furniture back and vacuum afterwards—sorry about the water stains on the tables).

Be sure to listen to Nigel LIVE on The Third Colony Saturday, 9-11pm Eastern (in the Americas, 1pm Sunday in New Zealand) on qnation.fm. Go to their website for how to listen, or to join the chatroom. The Trivia Game is back!!

AmeriNZ 202 – From the headlines

amerinz_podcast_150x150Recorded live and presented mostly unedited (be warned): Joining me for today’s Live Chat on Pride48.com were Archerr, Daniel Brewer, Larken and Wes Stone.

In this episode, we talk about some stuff in the news, starting with the Mississippi high school that cancelled its prom rather than allow a lesbian to attend with her female date. We also talk about a crazy poll, the California State Senator who was outed when he was arrested with another man, some “tenther” laws and other serious stuff. But we also talk about some internet and tech stuff—the Apple iPad, the Pride 48 podcasting marathon, Twitter as a customer service tool (really!), and a New Zealander caught up in the a craze. All kinds of stuff this week.

Archerr frequently does group shows like this (and he’ll be doing a group show next week) and you know what? It’s much easier than what I was trying to do. To me, it seemed like it flowed more smoothly and was more fast-paced. What do you think?

The next live AmeriNZ podcast on Pride48.com will be starting at 8:00pm Eastern North American time on Thursday, March 25 (1:00pm Friday, March 26 New Zealand time—new time due to change in US clocks). Join us! You can also join other listeners in the chatroom, where you can ask questions or make comments as the show is streamed.
