AmeriNZ Video 03 – Auckland Christmas

For my third video, I thought I’d just show a few things from Auckland around Christmastime. This isn’t everything, obviously, but a few things that stand out for me. In the New Year, there will be more videos where I show you more of my Auckland.

Merry Christmas!

Note:

The file linked to this post is a revised version. The end of this video is silent due to a weird assertion over an incidental background music track.

AmeriNZ 136 – Meri Kirihimete

Today I simply tie up some loose ends from this year, since this is probably my last audio podcast of the year. I’ll have a video around Christmas Day, but this may be my last audio podcast until early 2009—maybe even the second week. Check the website for details. It’s been a pleasure and an honour sharing some of this year with you. The next couple weeks I’m spending with Nigel, and I’ll be back in the New Year. All the best to you!

AmeriNZ 135 – Who’s Alice?

This is a short nattercast—maybe it makes up for the long episode earlier this week. Anyway, I tell you a story about old ladies who swear. Lots of clips slip in. I also tell you about my holiday schedule. And that’s about it—hey, it’s only 12 minutes, what more can I say?

AmeriNZ 134 – Politicast at year-end

This is our final politicast of the year, but we’ll be back sometime in the first couple weeks of January—and with some announcements and new things. Today we talk about a lot of things, starting with the mess in our old home state of Illinois. We also have an extensive discussion about religion and politics, same-sex marriage, and we even talk about the divisive online rhetoric of the left and—especially—the right. I say that far right christianists are not”victims”, and it’s offensive for them to say they are. Jason is annoyed by far-right christianists falsely claiming to speak for all “people of faith”. Later, we talk about the bailouts and the twilight of the Bush years. Are Bush-Cheney guilty of treason? We end by talking about the optimism of the impending inauguration. Comments let us discuss a few more things, too.

AmeriNZ 133 – Drive straight

On today’s episode, I tell you why New Zealand’s Prime Minister is not hot. Also, not straight? Don’t drive in Auckland. But that’s after I talk about the most important subject, ME. I also educate Big Fatty, all while making sure Archerr has something to listen to.

AmeriNZ 132 – Canadian coup d’état

Today I’m joined by my e-friend, Mark from Slap Upside the Head, to talk about the current constitutional crisis in Canada. Some people have called it a coup d’état, but who’s fomenting the coup kind of depends on which side you’re on. Mark provides a lot of background to the current events, and I compare and contrast some things with both New Zealand and the US. It’s a wide-ranging discussion, and I know I learned some things about Canadian politics. We’re going to try and meet up again in the New Year to talk about how the situation is resolved—assuming it is!

AmeriNZ 131 – Podcasting in December

It’s been ten days since my last podcast, and I’ve been under enormous pressure to put out a new episode (Archerr). Seriously, I’ve been very busy for the past couple weeks or so, and today was the first chance I’ve had to record. Maybe I should’ve waited a little longer (I was a bit silly—well, for me, anyway).

So first I give some updates, including about our Thanksgiving. I also talk a bit about our plans for Christmas. I even tell you about Canadian politics! Well, you just never know what will turn up on the AmeriNZ Podcast!
