Love da podcast. Would love to see everyday locals on sometime. The prestigious guests are great, but I'd like to hear from the everyday people that keep Hawaii going and make Hawaii great. Bus Drivers, Lifeguards, Chefs etc.

[@doroncohen259]

his point about being selfish with you time is the exact reason for wanting to move to hawaii as a non native. the quality of life living there would be amazing even with the expenses. i highly respect hawaii and its cultere/people.

[@eugenegauggel1000]

Just hearing the sound of Pidgin makes me homesick for Hawai'i nei.

[@joka80891]

Mahalo nui e Kamaka Pili, I’m a Hawaiian who is a practicing Catholic. I’d love to share stories of my journey of finding harmony between my Christian faith and my Hawaiian culture.
