AmeriNZ 196 – What’s the topic?

Posted on by
1

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

This was the resumption of the live AmeriNZ Podcasts, and was meant to have a topic—The State of the Gays. We did discuss it a little, and other political stuff, but it was a free-for-all discussion of all sorts of stuff. We’re kind of out of practice for these podcasts, so I don’t really mind.

After the closing theme music, is a bonus: The pre-show (all seven minutes of it).

Join us on for the next live podcast on Pride48.com for a lively, wide-ranging discussion. The next live chat starts at 8:30pm (NEW start time!) Eastern North American time on Thursday, February 18 (2:30pm Friday, February 19 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 188 – Tangled Web

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 186 – Real or not?

Posted on by

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.
