Lucky number 7! Josh and Ryan talk about vaccines and recap the week in news, including the West Virginia teachers' strike, Xi and Putin making bad man moves, and a shocking report that some African-Americans were still living in slavery as late as the 1970s. We also talk about Clayton Hee shaking up the Hawaii governor's race, take a mailbag question about the opioid crisis in Hawaii, and debut our newest feature: BIKILEAKS!

Then, at 27:33, we talk to Rufino Magliba, former Congressional aide extraordinaire, about his journey from Waimanalo to Washington, what life is like as a member of the Hawaii Delegation, and his current work bringing new education technology to Hawaii's schools.

We end with some shoutouts to diaper politics, Rick Ross, and our restaurant picks of the week (with a special tribute to the late great Colin Nishida, owner of Side Street Inn).  Check it out!

Episode 7 - Waimanalo To Washington

#8! Josh and Ryan discuss the week that was, including the spectacle of AIPAC and the Army's accidental mailift to Waimanalo Elementary. Then, in News in 9, we discuss the State's planned sweep of the camp at Pu'uhonua o Waianae, Rep. Kaniela' Ing's stand over #MeToo and the Daniel K. Inouye international airport, Trump's potential trip to Pyongyang, and the rise of Roy Moore 2.0 (a.k.a. Chris McDaniel) in the Mississippi Senate race. We also share a brand new super secret BIKILEAK!

Then, at 26:00, we're joined by Nadine Wolff, who tells us about growing up in East Berlin during the Cold War, the good and bad sides of communism, and what lessons Germany can teach us about dealing with your country's painful past.

We finish with memorials to surfer George Downing and Fiorentina captain Davide Astori, shoutouts to the Merrie Monarch festival, DeMar DeRozan and Kevin Love, Los Angeles Football Club, Civil Beat's Nick Grube, and Max Holloway v. Connor McGregor on the field at Waianae High School -- and our restaurant recs of the week. Check it out!

Episode 8 - Goodbye Lenin, Aloha Nadine!

We're back! After a quick news recap (Aloha Poke Co, Charlottesville 2: Electric Nazi Boogaloo, and #SpaceForce),  we give you the first part of our Primary Election breakdown!  At 14:12, we talk about Governor David Ige holding off Rep. Colleen Hanabusa to get re-elected, Josh Green's carpenter $$$ putting him over the top (and his stand-up comedy debut at the Democrat unity breakfast), and what to expect in the November showdown between David Ige and Andria Tupola (hint: TrumpTrumpTrumpTrumpTrump).  Plus, we talk about Ed Case's victory in the Hawaii CD1 primary -- a rich white guy going to Congress? How is he going to fit in???

Then, at 28:19, we've got an AMAZING interview with Dr. Akiemi Glenn, a Honolulu-based scholar and cultureworker. She is the founder and curator of the Pōpolo Project, a multimedia exploration of Blackness in Hawai‘i and the larger Pacific, and she's also the director of Tele!, a language revitalization and engagement project in Hawai‘i's Tokelauan community.  She shares her story and we talk about her work in language revitalization, how racism and racial structures differ between Hawaii and the mainland, and why we're currently living through a new civil rights movement.  Plus, she previews some of Popolo Project's #BlackAugust programming, including TA-NEHISI COATES COMING TO THE DORIS DUKE THEATER ON AUGUST 25TH -- GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!  
(PS: her "restaurant" rec is 
Kaimuki Superette! Check them out for #BuyLocal #sustainable fresh fish and fresh veggies). 

Stay tuned for our next episode -- friend of the show Alan Akao will join us to help complete our post-primary breakdown, including Congressional, local, and Office of Hawaiian Affairs races. Until then, please listen, share, rate, subscribe, and hit us up on social media!
