AmeriNZ 419 – My bumpy ride

Posted on May 23, 2025 by Arthur

Two months later, and I’m back. I begin by talking about sad news that, for some unknown reason, I didn’t mention last time. Next, I update what I talked about last time. I even share a helpful hint! Everything is now up to date, so the next episode, whenever it is, can be all-new. Yay?

AmeriNZ 418 – Podcasting for 18 years

Posted on March 28, 2025 by Arthur

Today 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.

Posted on December 13, 2024 by Arthur

This 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 415 – Not Present

Posted on December 6, 2024 by Arthur

Well, I managed to get in one more podcast before the end of 2024! My first topic is what’s been going on with me, in short, it’s not been a good year for me, for a lot of reasons. Then it’s all about some of what I’ve been up tp lately. Will I manage to get in another episode this year?

AmeriNZ 414 – Circus clowns

Posted on April 30, 2024 by Arthur

Today I start with a brief catch-up, but my main topic is about a new opinion poll that has very bad news for the NZ’s 3-way coalition government. I provide some context as well as talk about what the poll means. And it with that, I managed to get a second podcast episode in April.

AmeriNZ 413 – Eighteenth season

Posted on April 26, 2024 by Arthur

This episode has been so very long delayed! I was busy with a lot of little things, and I still am, so this episode isn’t edited. I start with what I did right after my previous episode, then I talk about some more things I was doing, including one that was emotionally challenging. I also did something I was able to do because apparently I’m now officially old. Or, something like that..

AmeriNZ 409 – The holidays were good

Posted on January 3, 2024 by Arthur

I had good holidays this year because I actually had some this year! I was alone on Christmas last year, and I’ve almost always seen in the New Year alone, but this year I was with the family. I have a lot of little chores I plan to get done over the next couple of weeks, during what’s the quietest time of the year. I forgot to mention that I had another series of “Ask Arthur” blog posts last month. (link below).
