Today’s episode is about the results of the New Zealand General Election—it’s not as simple as what most news reports are saying. After that, I have plans for this week.

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 414 – Circus clowns

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..
