New Zealand Pubcast

Hardly hot on the heels of our last effort, the very latest Session is ready for consumption below friends - best listened to when you're consuming your favourite beverage... (we recommend beer) Both Dodge and Shifty have had a hell a last few weeks and obviously have a lot to catch up on in this ever badly recorded obscure podcast where (between gulps of cold lovely beer) the guys discuss the following matters of upmost importance: Are all women in New Zealand wanton sluts? Obviously this has been a burning question ever since our first session - we deal with it once and for all:) We hear about the police questioning an entire town in the North Island about some missing war medals The recent result in the Aussie Elections also gets a wee mention - And finally Dodge manages to turn it all around and force Shifty into a discussion on the environment:) Wouldn't be a proper session otherwise right? Some links to the stuff we mentioned: That blog about the English family who we failed to catch up with can be found here: http://www.onewaynewzealand.com/ And not forgetting our very good friends over at Kilos of Craic http://kilosofcraic.com/ Check em out! Intro this time comes from Spoon (Me and the Bean) and Kiwi band of the month The Mint Chicks with Crazy Yes! Dumb No!

An historic Session stumbles along the pavement towards you, scares your children, falls over and then passes out while peeing itself this week, as NZ Pubcast loses the plot in the absence of the departed Shifty Rob... (don't worry - he's only departed NZ) Despite this almost fatal blow, Johnny Dodge and (Rob's replacement) Andrew the Canadian manage to make it to the pub to squeeze out a session for your listening (alcohol drenched) pleasure... where we: Talk to local rock and roller Matt from Phoenix 88 about life in NZ - as well his upcoming album release and other stories of a drunken nature... We discuss some interesting factoids about NZ - and for the first time ever, we leave the bar... and walk to another bar... to see former pubcast guest Caroline Joy perform for the good people of Fat Eddies... Intro tune was provided by the sexy Breeders (Track: Huffer from Title TK) and outro provided by our good mate Matt from Phoenix 88 who expalins all about it...

An inebriated G'day to you all from Christchurch's blow in piss heads as they gather once again to talk shit in a very hard to follow manner... Coming to you from The Wunderbar in Lyttleton, Shifty Dodge and special Canadian guest, Andrew (the canadian) chew the fat on settling into life in New Zealand - and Christchurch specifically - why you should be careful buying a car and why new arrivals think alot about things they wouldn't normally think about - like heating... NZ makes the The most prosperous country's in the world list - we give you the run down on who's rich and poor... And we round things off talking about why lots of Kiwi think their flag is rubbish and want to replace it with something else...

Mornin’ Y’all… That wretched smell from the internet could only mean another episode of NZ pubcast has finally emerged. In this session we trawl through the recent Global Peace Index and find out how New Zealand placed. Look into the sinister world of some electricity companies and have a crack at the latest discussion on wind farms - including why one of New Zealand’s most famous hookers is weighing in on this debate. And not to be outdone… El Diablo squeaks his way into the show once again with the full support of a nation behind him. John Butler Trio supplied their track 'Better Than' for the intro and we were left with Atlas and their chart topper 'Crawl' ringing in our ears.

Gday Cobbers - we've made you wait long enough but the latest pubcast is ready to roll... All the way from Baileys Irish Bar in Christchurch, those useless blow in's get into... Dealing with the first major consequence of obtaining NZ residency, Dodge relays his recent experience of NZ Jury duty and tells why he never wants to do it again. Ever. Shifty wades in with some interesting New Zealand news stories and we once again debate the earth heating up thingy... We realise that we've been very slack of late but we promise to up the ante once again with a little more of the regular and a little less laziness in future... (a little mind) Music this week is from Finger Eleven- song is Paralizer... and outro comes from Christchurch Local boy made good Craig Smith Click below to start listening - Or right click on the link and select 'Save Target As' which will allow you to save the mp3 file to your machine...... or subscribe through itunes DOWNLOAD PUBCAST SESSION 22 Talkback to [email protected]

The latest rambling bunch of nonsense is available below for download, Pubcasters... in which the boys are joined by some kiwis and a guy from Oldham to talk about how Auckland are building a mountain out of shite... and we discuss the total crazyness that's erupted in NZ over the right to smack your children... A note on this session.... This sess has probably got the worst sound we've ever had on NZ Pubcast - and you know that we've had some pretty bad sound in the past... this was due to a couple of factors... namely: The pub was jammed man... it was a friday after work and they just kept coming in... and making loads of noise... bastards. also... Our pc is knackered... Shifty Rob's 'New' laptop doesn't seem to be able to record a session without adding its 'own' sound effects... mikes cut in and out, were on different volume levels and generally acted like a complate pain in the arse... This is simply an explaination - not an apology. As you are well aware, we don't apolgise for anything. Except to our girl partners when they are angry at us... and anyone who threatens to sue us - yes, we don't have backbones... your point is??? Anyways - I promise that we won't be using Rob's laptop anymore for Pubcast recordings - it had its chance but enough is enough... We were almost going to bin this session but because we haven't posted in a while... Intro was beastie boys and outro was provided by the very funk tastic Pitch Black Click below to start listening - Or right click on the link and select 'Save Target As' which will allow you to save the mp3 file to your machine...... or subscribe through itunes DOWNLOAD PUBCAST SESSION 21 Talkback to [email protected]

In a post St Paddies day 20th Pubcast Session, Shift and Dodge get together in Christchurch's only "English Pub' to talk about such pubcast staples as beer, the environment and why 3 billion people in the world need to just go... On the beer front: Why the Irish bars in Christchurch are shite, why the English pubs serve nicer Irish Stout, Why Canterbury Draught is the worst beer in NZ... On the environment: Shifty explains why killing whales and clubbing seals is good for New Zealand... And we round it all off with a blast of Irish music from some kiwis (Hoob Nail Boots) Click below to start listening - Or right click on the link and select 'Save Target As' which will allow you to save the mp3 file to your machine...... or subscribe through itunes DOWNLOAD PUBCAST SESSION 20 Talkback to [email protected]

The Pubcast gets right back to it its roots this week - coming from good 'ol Pomeroys in Christchurch, where it all began... the Mick and the Canuck get together with another Canuck blow in to discuss how great it was being flashed by strippers in the street earlier in the day (above) Other topics of banter that flow from our beer engulfed mouths include: The Best and Worst places in NZ to meet that special someone... AJ Hackett, Kiwi God of bungy jumping wants to break more records, Why NZ is worth coming back to (even if you've already moved home) and we shed some light on New Zealand's real contribution to the war on terror... Thanks to Gigantor for joining us in the pub - Our Intro was "Promiscuity" as sung by the brilliant Manu Chao - and outro track "I and I" was provided by Kiwi 'Backyard' BBQ Reggae band Katchafire. The video that was mentioned on the session is also on its way - all good things...!
