Christopher Bae is taking us on a journey to meet the hominids of Asia's past. Dr. Bae is a distinguished paleoanthropologist from the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa whose research focuses on human evolution in East Asia. Born in Korea and adopted by an American family, his unique personal journey sparked an early interest in race, human variation, and the deep history of our species. What began as a search for his own roots led him to a career dedicated to reconstructing the past—much like paleoanthropologists do when piecing together humanity's evolutionary story. Dr. Bae has conducted extensive field and laboratory research across Korea, Japan, and China, collaborating on projects that span hominin fossils, vertebrate taphonomy, and lithic analysis. His work bridges disciplines in the social and natural sciences, providing a comprehensive perspective on Pleistocene hominin morphological and behavioral variation, particularly in Homo erectus and both archaic and modern Homo sapiens. With approximately 150 publications and over $1.5 million in extramural funding, Dr. Bae is a leading voice in understanding human evolution in East Asia. ------------------------------ Find the papers discussed in this episode: Bae, C.

Happy Tuesday, beautiful people! Ku & Paul kick off the day talking about national writer Phil Steele's full Mountain West football preview, diving into his look into the Rainbow Warriors for the 2025 season. We hear from new Hawai'i MBB general manager, Los Angeles Clippers guard Patty Mills, after the program announced his addition on Monday morning. The first hour closes with a shoutout to the Hawai'i marketing department and KC Smurthwaite's efforts last year leading to a gold standard recognition after the Rainbow Wahine uniform contest from last year.

In this episode, we sit down with longtime Hawaiʻi attorney, Kevin Wakayama, to explore how a heart-led approach has shaped his decades of legal practice. From his roots on Kauaʻi to studying law during the Vietnam War, Kevin shares pivotal moments of his life and what led him to choose tax law over criminal law. Rooted in the Aloha Spirit Law and influenced by the late Alvin and Pono Shim, Kevin offers thoughtful reflections on his experiences interlacing aloha into legal work and leadership. He also reminisces about the late 1960s, when as a high school student, he was part of a movement where local visionaries imagined the year 2000 and ways to reach a diversified economy centered on peace through education and value-aligned industries. Whether you're curious about law, committed to social justice, or drawn to Hawaii's history of community leadership, we invite you to pause with Kevin's stories.Episode Highlights00:00 Introduction to Kevin Wakayama00:50 Becoming an attorney: Kauaʻi to college during the Vietnam War03:57 Choosing tax law over criminal law04:51 The Aloha Spirit Law in practice08:54 Reflections on the Aloha Spirit and community21:21 Aiming for Prosperity in 1969: economic development and education in Hawaii36:23 Aloha in action39:53 Advice for aspiring legal professionals42:48 Closing thoughts  Welcome to the Above the Sides podcast! Join us on our journey to uncover what it means to think, act, and live aloha. The inspiration for this podcast is the late Pono Shim, former President and CEO of the Oʻahu Economic Development Board. His stories capture the essence of what it means to live aloha. He made it known that aloha is a lifestyle. It is not a solution to problems, a marketing brand or to be used as an advantage over anyone else. Aloha is to be honored and practiced.The name of this podcast is in reverence of Hawaiʻi's Queen Liliʻuokalani, who wrote: "To gain the kingdom of heaven is to hear what is not said, to see what cannot be seen, and to know the unknowable – that is Aloha. All things in this world are two; in heaven there is but One.” Through these episodes, we seek to find that singular perspective, the one that is "above the sides" as we strive for universal peace.We welcome you to pause with us as we share the stories and voices of Hawai'i business leaders, educators and community members who have chosen to be lifelong students of aloha. Mahalo nui loa for listening.

Pronouncing the Hawaiian language correctly is one of the many important ways foreigners should respect the people, place, and culture of Hawaiʻi. In this episode, I walk through the basic pronunciation of Reverend Dennis Kamakahi's classic song, "Kōkeʻe."Follow along with the words here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XsKAZqHEMVpDwDKFnSXGCxOFxJEwqwIb/viewThis Kani Ka Pila Classics series on The Live ʻUkulele Podcast aims to provide malihini a better understanding of the lyrics to popular ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi kani ka pila songs. Since these songs are enthusiastically sung and strummed more often than others, they're also unknowingly mispronounced by more people.By ensuring you're saying the words correctly, you preserve the meaning of a song, demonstrate your effort to honor the language, and bring a greater depth to your presentation of Hawaiian music that can be both felt and heard.Because I am poʻe haole (caucasian) in Hawaiʻi who plays Hawaiian songs and has the privilege of playing ʻukulele for - and with - Hawaiians, I am extremely anal about using the correct pronunciation. These episodes are a small way that I can give back to the Hawaiian music scene by educating fellow malihini.I have studied Hawaiian at UH Maui with Leinoa Kong and Kīʻope Raymond, and later with Lanakila Mangauil, Kaliko Beamer-Trapp, and others. While I am not a fluent speaker, I am certainly versed enough to assist other English-first speakers in avoiding the main pitfalls of sung Hawaiian.Resources:-Hakalama practice: https://oleloonline.com/0404p-hakalama-practice/-Ka Alala with Malu States: https://www.kaalala.com/-Malu on pronouncing "Hawaiʻi": https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ky8xgn7appQSupport the showJoin my newsletter!

Justin and Bec give their reactions to watching Disney's live action remake of the 2002 animated classic "Lilo and Stitch," which prominently featured Elvis's music. The remake does, too, so we primarily center our discussion initially around how Elvis is used; but since Bec had never seen the original before, she gave it a watch after having gone to see the reworking in theatres, and the duo compare notes on things that were different, what worked and what didn't. For Song of the Week, since the "Blue Hawaii" album is seen prominently in the new "Lilo and Stitch", both hosts decided to pick songs from the 1961 classic, with Justin first picking "Ku-U-I-Po," the ballad also written by "Can't Help Falling in Love" cowriters Peretti-Creatore-Weiss for "Blue Hawaii." Bec then dives headfirst into the multi-faceted history behind "Aloha Oe," the traditional Hawaiian song penned by the last Queen of Hawai'i, Liliʻuokalani, and its double meaning as both a simple romantic farewell as well as symbolizing the loss of indigenous sovereignty. This prompts further discussion on how the song is used in "Blue Hawaii" and in both versions of "Lilo and Stitch," bringing the whole thing together. Be warned - if you haven't made it out to see the movie, this whole episode contains numerous spoilers for both the 2002 and 2025 versions of "Lilo and Stitch."

The Oceans Are Getting Darker. That story and more on H2O Radio's weekly news report. Headlines: Colorado River users received a grim prediction about the amount of water that will flow to Lake Powell, which could mean cutbacks in the future. A controversial plan to transport crude oil by rail along portions of the Colorado River is much closer to becoming a reality. The oceans have gotten darker over the past two decades. Scientists are concerned. Hawai‘i just implemented a tax you can feel good about.

A reposted episode from 2023 about food access and resilient futures with Hulali Soza and Megan Fox from Mālama Kauaʻi. Mālama Kauaʻi has been working to increase food production and access for a resilient Kauaʻi since 2006. They do this through a lens of resilience and sustainability, leveraging workforce and economic development efforts, partnerships, and innovative programs to grow community capacity. Their Kaua‘i Food Access Plan 2030 identifies land access and land-back movements as a key missing piece to the success of Hawaiʻiʻs future food system. Tags: Hawaiʻi, Hawai'i, Hawaii

Dr. Sulma Gandhi: “This is what I mean by the 'frustrating funder.' When I was a grantee for all those years, I was always trying to fit my proposal or how I was pitching into the box of the funder who had a particular strategy from some other community, not that of ours.”What does it take to break free from frustrating funding practices? This month, Stupski Foundation's Hawaiʻi health program officer, Dr. Sulma Gandhi, shares her journey from grant-seeker to grant-maker and how she embraces trust-based practices to fully invest in community-led holistic health initiatives across Hawaiʻi. Think multi-year general operating support grants without the burdens of proposals, term limits, and cumbersome reporting— how refreshing! Hear how Dr. Gandhi is giving at the intersection of trust and urgency so communities can direct resources where they know they'll work best. Break Fake Rules is a podcast from the Stupski Foundation that questions philanthropy's self-imposed rules and looks for ways philanthropy can better serve communities and contribute to lasting change.

When she reaches the homestead, she finds a bickering family and the disconcerting news that her cousins—a failed college football player and a rebellious teenage girl—have gone missing.Makalani hopes they just ran off, too careless to realize the worry they've caused. But when hunters find a dead body in the Keālia Forest Reserve, Makalani fears something ominous is at play, and the search for her cousins grows more desperate. Although her help may not be welcomed by family and locals, Makalani is determined to solve a mystery that poses a greater risk than anyone imagines.The investigation will open her heart, reawaken her love for the land she calls home, and strengthen her bond with her family. Because no matter how long she's been away, for Makalani, Hawai‘i is in her blood.

“DWARF PLANET Octave Stargoals”This special presents the dynamic consciousness of three dwarf planets and their three lower octave planets. Jupiter and Quaoar, Saturn and Varuna, with Uranus and Makemake. These new energies beyond Neptune in the Kuiper Belt operate according to one's ability of awareness. Regardless, the path strives towards one of recognizing deep and perhaps unseen patterns within. On a spiritual direction, their transits offer deep transformative development integrating our emotions, heart and soul,” said Sue Minahan, founder, and host of weekly show. “And example is that Mercury is the lower octave of Uranus, so is Makemake the higher of Uranus. The mercurial focus of communication and connection bridges into the Uranian focus on elevating humanity to advocating for one's cultural group in Makemake through a winning achievement involving mentors. These are complex, but enlarge another arena which affects us on various levels.”Joining Talk Cosmos founder and eclectic evolutionary astrologer Sue Rose Minahan of Kailua Kona, Hawai'i will be special guest Melissa Elvira Billington of Brisbane, Australia.

Nestled in the unforgiving Skull Valley, Utah, the ghost town of Iosepa tells an incredible story of perseverance, faith, and resilience. In the late 19th century, a group of Polynesian pioneers left the lush landscapes of Hawai'i to build a new life in the western desert. Against all odds, they thrived, creating a community that once won Utah's award for best-kept town. But by 1917, Iosepa was abandoned. What led to its demise? Why did these settlers leave behind everything they built? And what remains of Iosepa today? Join us on Twisted Tales by Profiling Evil as we uncover the forgotten history of Iosepa, a once-thriving Polynesian Mormon settlement, now lost to time.
