AmeriNZ 398 – 17 and 28

Posted on September 13, 2023 by Arthur

Today’s episode is named after two anniversaries: Today is the seventeenth anniversary of my blog, and yesterday was the 28th anniversary of when I first arrived in New Zealand as a tourist, when Nigel and I met in person for the first time. This coming weekend is also the final Pride 48 Live Streaming Event, and I reminisce and opine about podcasting. Then, I briefly talk about a small project outside. Finally, I share a funny (to me) story form New Zealand’s news.

Guest Spot: AR1234 Catching Up with Arthur

Posted on August 3, 2018 by 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

Posted on May 29, 2013 by Arthur

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

Posted on March 21, 2013 by Arthur

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.

AmeriNZ 290 – Springy

Posted on October 29, 2012 by Arthur

Today’s episode is all about catching up on a some of what I’ve been up to. I share a weird encounter with YouTube. I also have some updates about the Marriage Equality Bill. Then, I turn to some talk about Pride 48 and podcasting in general, introduced by a clip from Auntie Vera Charles. A voicemail lets me expand on a topic, and then I’m done for today.
