I was born and raised in Illinois, and lived in Chicago before moving to New Zealand in 1995 to be with my husband, Nigel, a New Zealander. Nigel died of cancer in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>On the podcast, I talk about my life, New Zealand, and some of the things I see as a foreign-born New Zealander. Politics, history, culture, life in New Zealand, and being an expat are the main subject areas I cover. Many episodes have been inspired by questions or requests from listeners, and I\u2019m always willing to explore the topics that listeners are interested in. Guests on the <strong>AmeriNZ Podcast <\/strong>have included other podcasters, bloggers, friends, and expats of various kinds.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>AmeriNZ Podcast<\/strong> is released periodically, and not on a set schedule.
