I love hearing Arthur talk. I look forward to part two.

It takes much courage to leave your home country for someone you have only been with for two weeks. Can’t wait to hear more.

Hey Ramble,
Great interview with Arthur. His story is so interesting. I would love to meet him in person one of these days. We should all go to Podcamp New Zealand.

Wow, this has got to be your most interesting guest ever–wait a minute, I did put “Anonymous” for the commenter identity, didn’t I?
Seriously, thanks for having me on the show–it was a lot of fun!
Oh, and I think Podcamp New Zealand would be a great idea!

An interesting story. But I’m astounded by his comment that only after e-mailing and talking on the phone that they thought they wanted to be together - BEFORE they met!
That is a strong virtual connection.
And then their whole life to be decided on after only 14 days together. This is amazing — and who says romance is dead?!
And what a condemnation of the US that Arthur could go to NZ and be recognized as a gay partner because it is not possible in the “land of the free and the brave.”

Great interview with Arthur. I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to part deux. I’m a sucker for romantic stories!

Glad to hear it (obviously) all worked out for him. It sounded like one of those rare moments and he made a great choice

Great story and having been a part of the British Empire I enjoyed the English words!!! Look forward to part 2.

I’ve heard Arthur on many of the various podcasts out there. I’m not a regular listener of his, and my reasoning is, perhaps, a bit shallow. He’s so damn smart! I just can’t hang with that! I also hate that people in other countries have more knowledge of what’s going on in American government when folks in our own country don’t even know what’s going on. Yes, I realize he’s from here, but after being in NZ for 14 years, he’s been gone long enough to be considered a NZ native!
I love listening to his story of trying to go to his first gay “meeting”. I can just picture him trolling the pay phone. And yes, I was one of “those listeners” who had a great big “awwww” when he discussed his first meeting with Nigel.
What an interesting, courageous life he has had. Thanks for introducing him to me.
