Guest Spot: AR1234 Catching Up with Arthur

This is a LONG episode, but it was so much fun to record! One of the first podcasts (other than my own) that I was on was a group show on the original ArcherRadio (his episode 421). That was WAY back in March 2007. Then, he was on my podcast—episode 8—in May 2007. So, we have a long history—and it shows in this chat, I think.

We cover a lot of the LGBT podcasting history we experienced, a bit about where it’s heading, and all sorts of other things. Interestingly, despite our shared passion for politics, we don’t really talk about it much—THIS time! It was fun, but back to normal AmeriNZ episodes soon.

AmeriNZ 299 – Resumption

Today’s episode is all about catching up on what I’ve missed over the past few episodes. It clears the decks so that we can just carry on from here.

First up, I talk a bit about marriage equality in New Zealand (and a little bit beyond…). Comments and questions prompted this segment.

Next up, it’s all about the feedback I received regarding my comments about Pride 48. Wow! Quite a lot of responses! I appreciate every one, and I respond to them. Thanks for the feedback!!

Well, we’re all caught up now; let’s move forward, eh?

AmeriNZ 297 – Excitement

I start today talking about the recent earthquakes in Auckland. Then, some New Zealand news since I last podcasted. That includes an update on the marriage equality bill, of course. Personal updates follow, and that leads, eventually, to some talk that might get me into trouble. Oh well, there were things I needed to say.

I begin today with updates about what I’ve been up to, followed by talk about this year’s Pride 48 event (September 14-16). I move on to updates about things in the New Zealand news, including marriage equality. A phone message allows me to talk about another topic.

AmeriNZ 283 – Colder

It’s been cold in Auckland this week. Last week was my busy week—with a twist. I’ll be part of a new podcast, but it doesn’t have a name. Leave your suggestion in the comments or ring the comment line. I also talk a bit about Pride 48. Congratulations to Ramble Redhead for 500 episodes! After that, I talk about a blog project I’ve been taking part in called ABC Wednesday. A comment lets me talk a bit about the upcoming New Zealand Census.

AmeriNZ 281 – Colds

We’ve been cold and had colds—not fun. But today I begin with a little update on what we’ve been up to, including some technological stuff (yeah, it surprises me, too). I move on to phone messages that allow me to comment further. Then to wrap up this episode, I pay tribute to my friend, known on this podcast as Lord Byron of Illinois, who died June 10. I talk a bit, too, about online friendships being real friendships—because I think they are. And that includes all of you who I know only through this podcast, by the way.

AmeriNZ 280 – Nearing Winter

I begin today by talking about a New Zealand thing that occurred to me just before I started recording. Then, I conclude a story I talked about last time, one that only concluded in the middle of last week. I mention a Christchurch heritage building charity, and looked it up before posting this episode (link below). And other stuff, too.

At the end, there’s a mention of Pride 48.
