About the AmeriNZ Podcast

The AmeriNZ Podcast is my personal journal podcast. I posted the first episode on March 28, 2007.

My name is Arthur Schenck, and I’m a gay American-born New Zealander. 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.

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’m always willing to explore the topics that listeners are interested in. Guests on the AmeriNZ Podcast have included other podcasters, bloggers, friends, and expats of various kinds.

The AmeriNZ Podcast is released periodically, and not on a set schedule. I used post videos to the AmeriNZ YouTube Channel, which I also shared on this site. I’m not currently making YouTube videos, but I may do so in the future, and if I do, they’ll be shared here, as well as on my blog, AmeriNZ Blog.

To contact me, send an email to me at amerinz[at)gmail(dot]com, or post a comment on the shownotes for any episode. There’s also the AmeriNZ Facebook Page is for my Blog, Podcast, and Videos.
