    AmeriNZ 414 – Circus clowns

    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

    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.. Be sure to Like the AmeriNZ Facebook Page for all things AmeriNZ.

    AmeriNZ 409 – The holidays were good

    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). Be sure to Like the AmeriNZ Facebook Page for all things AmeriNZ.

    AmeriNZ 407 – The circus begins

    New Zealand finally has a circus—whoops!— I meant a government. The three parties finally managed to strike a coalition deal. The new parliament was sworn-in this week, and everything now begins. I talk about that first. By the way, I was right: The tradition of not entering the Debating Chamber goes back to the time of Cromwell, because of Charles 1. Then, I talk about what I’ve been up to, especially how busy I’ve been. Be sure to Like the AmeriNZ Facebook Page for all things AmeriNZ.
