AmeriNZ 418 – Podcasting for 18 years

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016Today is the eighteenth anniversary of this podcast, and the fact that today I’m releasing a new episode about that surprises me more than anyone. I talk about the anniversary first, then about what my barriers to podcasting have been, and then on to a very positive and important personal change I made in January.

AmeriNZ 416 – Presently

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016This week I expand on what I was talking about last week, because not all anniversaries this year are bad! Actually, not all potential triggers turn you that way, either.

AmeriNZ 398 – 17 and 28

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016Today’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.

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016Despite a few obstacles, I’m back. First, though, I give the end of the story I talked about in the previous episode: New Zealand got a government. Mainly, though, I talke about the several obstacles to my being able to podcast (or blog, for that matter).

AmeriNZ 326 – Summertime

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016We finally got some summer weather! We had pleasant holidays, but this time of year is very quiet and that’s both good and bad (probably mostly good). My birthday is tomorrow! That will keep me from paying any attention to the hoopla in Washington, DC.
