About My Podcasts
AmeriNZ Podcast
The AmeriNZ Podcast is my personal journal podcast. The first espisode was posted 28 March 2007.
I talk about my life, about being an expat, about New Zealand and some of the things I see looking at America from overseas. Politics, history, culture, life in New Zealand and being an expat are the main subject areas I cover. Being gay also figures into all that, but it’s not my main focus; there are plenty of podcasts that do a better job of focusing on it than I could.
Guests on the AmeriNZ Podcast have included other podcasters, bloggers, friends and expats of various kinds—a married American couple in Wellington, an American guy who lives with his Kiwi wife and son in Auckland and a gay Kiwi guy who lives overseas with his American partner. A special guest was Kiwi Singer-Songwriter Monique Rhodes (Episode 91), who I found through online social networks. More guests from diverse fields and walks of life will be on future episodes.
Many episodes have been inspired by questions or requests from listeners, and I’m always willing to explore the topics that listeners are interested in. Each episode, I go over comments to share the discussion with and among listeners.
The AmeriNZ Podcast is usually released twice a week, generally on Tuesday and Friday, New Zealand time. Sometimes life, holidays or other events disrupt this schedule.

2Political Podcast
On 2Political Podcast, 2 old friends talk about politics, the news and whatever else we think of. The first official episode was posted on 6 March 2009.
My co-host, Jason, and I have been friends since fourth grade (when we were about nine years old). We've been talking like this for a long time, and now we're sharing those chats over the Internet.
Although the first spisode of 2Political Podcast was posted in March 2009, the podcast actually began as occasional episodes of my AmeriNZ Podcast, starting with AmeriNZ 53 on 13 November 2007.

Live Podcasts on Pride 48
Pride 48 is a free resource for any GLBT or GLBT-friendly content producer. We allow independent producers to connect to our server and stream live shows for their listeners. Additionally, when live content is not being streamed we play GLBT-friendly content and music from independent artists. The station is supported by a combination of listener donations and volunteer work from the community.
During June of each year, we produce 48 hours of live-streaming shows during Pride weekend. This year, that event will take place June 25-27. It begins with a Kick-Off Show on Friday, June 25 at 8PM Eastern time in the Americas (12 Noon Saturday, June 26 New Zealand / 12 Midnight Saturday, June 26 GMT/UTC) and continues for 48 hours. The Wrap-Up Show begins at 8PM Sunday, June 27 Eastern time in the Americas (12 Noon Monday, June 28 New Zealand / 12 Midnight Monday, June 28 GMT/UTC).
I did two Live AmeriNZ podcasts in the 2009 marathon. My partner Nigel was my special guest, and we were joined by others over Skype. I later posted recorded versions of those podcasts. The following month, we were back for another live show, AmeriNZ 165 – AmeriNZ LIVE, which was two hours long. We also joined the "After Show" of another podcaster.
In September, 2009, I began a live group show on most Thursdays American time (Friday in New Zealand). In March 2010, I began alternating with another podcaster. In April 2010, I ended my scheduled live AmeriNZ Podcasts altogether. While I may do the occasional special live show, and I may resume scheduled shows in the future, for now I'll only be a guest on other people's live shows.
I'm the host of the Pride 48 live podcasting marathon for 2010. I'll be hositng the Kick-Off and Wrap-Up Shows, as well as a live AmeriNZ Podcast on Saturday, June 26 from 5:30am to 7am Eastern time in the Americas (9:30pm to 11pm Saturday, June 26 in New Zealand).
