First beat in a while, hope you dig it.

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've got some ugly politics and beautiful art in this episode!  What does Elizabeth Warren's problematic attempt to outfox Trump have in common with a recent lawsuit over Guam's referendum on sovereignty? Native Hawaiians who remember Rice v. Cayetano know all too well (shoutout to UH Law Professor Troy Andrade for his awesome scholarship).  

Plus, with election day fast approaching, the Hawaii Supreme Court cancels our most controversial ballot issue, the wagons circle in opposition to a Constitutional Convention, and there are serious shenanigans in a big city council race.  We've also got a hot new Bikileak for you, fresh off our text messages: is a leadership shakeup coming in the Hawaii Legislature? 

Our guest (32:00) is Matt "Maka" Kwock, local photographer extraordinaire and our former artist of the month. Hear his story, how he got into photography, what inspires his art, and where he goes for the best glimpses of Hawaii's natural beauty. Check his work out at @mmkwock, at https://www.mattkwockphotography.com/, or on the Hawaiian Airlines website! (PS - His restaurant rec is Duk Kee in Kaimuki!)

Don't forget to come by and visit us at our first-ever live show at The ARTS at Marks Garage on Thursday, November 8, from 7:30 - 9:30!!! We promise it will be better (and cheaper) than Bill and Hillary's new speaking tour. Hope to see you soon!
