My 2024 Christmas Ad Playlist has been updated

My annotated post of my ”2024 New Zealand Christmas TV Ads” playlist has been updated: Last night I added two ads that hadn’t been running, as far as I know, until recently (Numbers 5 and 6 on the 2024 playlist). I found more ads because I again searched on YouTube for any ads I’ve seen on TV since I posted the playlist. This mystifies me: If a company’s goal is to get as many people as possible to see an ad, wouldn’t it make sense to post videos of the ads to a site as widely accessible as You Tube is? Apparently not. My original post is also updated to include my annotations about the ads. To get to the Playlist, simply follow the link above.

Another podcast guest spot

This past Saturday (my time), I was a guest host with Daniel Brewer on the podcast he does with Adam Burns, The Gay Mix (aka “The Mix”) podcast. That episode, “173 – Too 2Political? What Kind of Name is That for an Episode?”, has now been posted on their site. Adam was away on holiday, and Daniel asked me to join him, partly so we could talk about politics—did we? Yeah, a bit, but I haven’t listened to it yet, so for all I know it may have been a total trainwreck—for me. Daniel’s aways a professional. I should add that the episode is roughly an hour and a half long.

I’ve known Daniel and Adam for many years now, and both were the creators and initial drivers of Pride 48, so in the time I was heavily involved with that I talked with them a lot. But I haven’t spoken with Daniel (as in, talked with my voice—can’t be sure about comments or emails…) since the last Pride 48 streaming weekend back in September last year. Life’s been… odd since then—busy, sure, but mostly odd. [I talked about the weekend on my podcast at the time, "AmeriNZ 399 – For years".]

This guest spot was technically my return to podcasting, since I haven’t posted an episode of my own AmeriNZ Podcast since April of this year. Actually, speaking of guest spots, this was my first since I recorded with my late friend Paul Armstrong way back in April 2021. I had no idea it had been that long, but, then, I’m not as active in podcasting or Pride 48 as I used to be, so it makes sense.

At any rate, I had a lot of fun catching up with Daniel and taking part in this week’s show.

Footnote: This is what I referring to in my blog post yesterday, when I said, “I needed to pause and tidy one of the bookshelves in my office because it was visible behind me during video calls (about which, more soon).” I knew Adam and Daniel videoed the episodes, but, fortunately for me (and the world…), the video for this one wasn’t recorded. But I got nice tidy shelves out of it, and that’s a huge win.
