There’s nothing in the night sky quite like the Pleiades. The star cluster forms a tiny dipper. Depending on sky conditions and the viewer’s eyesight, anywhere from a half dozen to a dozen stars or more are visible to the naked eye. Its unique visage has made the Pleiades one of the most important sky objects in many cultures. The people of the Andes timed the start of the harvest season to its first appearance in the dawn sky. The Aztec year began at about the same time. In Hawaii, the Pleiades was known as Makali’i. And the year began when Makali’i first appeared in the evening twilight – the middle of November. The year, the new year, and a festival period shared a name: Makahiki. The customs varied from island to island. But they had a lot in common. The celebration lasted for several months. Warfare and most work were banned. Instead, people danced, feasted, played sports, and reconnected with family and friends. And they made offerings to Lono, a god of agriculture, music, and peace. The Pleiades is just climbing into the evening twilight, in the east-northeast, across Hawaii and most of the rest of the country. In some Hawaiian traditions, Makahiki doesn’t begin until the first appearance of the crescent Moon in the west after the Pleiades returns. That’s coming up on the 21st – the start of the new year and the celebration that honors it. Hau’oli makahiki hou! – Happy New Year! Script by Damond Benningfield

My good friend Aaron Everitt dropped by for a post-election recap episode this week, and I wore my blue Hawaiian shirt to symbolize the big blue wave that swept across much of America.  Aaron and I dig into what's going on in the economy, and especially in the minds of young people and the working class, and where we might go as a nation from there.  Aaron shared some updates from his creative work, including his podcast and substack - Besides the Revolution - and his collaboration with House Inhabit. We also get into a real estate update - westside Fort Collins finally getting the love it deserves! - and we talked about the upcoming 25th Anniversary show of his travelling folk band from his college days and just after - Maskil.  The show is November 20 at The Rialto Theater, and tickets are both available and affordable - get them here.  We always have a lot of fun, and we usually enjoy a couple of bourbons - but today that was just me, as Aaron had band practice after!  So please enjoy my most recent conversation with Aaron Everitt.  The LoCo Experience Podcast is sponsored by: Purpose Driven Wealth Thrivent: Learn more

Episode Summary In our newest episode, Bioluminescent Symbiosis, we speak with Dr. Margaret McFall-Ngai, an animal physiologist and biochemist about her work with the Hawaiian bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes) and its partner, the luminous bacterium Vibrio fischeri. McFall-Ngai provides a great synopsis of how this stable beneficial relationship not only creates light, and supports the bobtail maturation, but can also help us understand what could be going on in the light organs of deep-sea animals.     Check out our lovely new website where you can find more detailed notes, images and links to the wider reading.     In this episode… Welcome back to the Deep-Sea Podcast, your punk take on all things deep sea!    The Professor is jetsetting as always, back in Edinburgh after a stint getting all the equipment ready in the Canary Island and is now happily being confused with professional racecar drivers. He will be back in Perth shortly to celebrate the Deep-Sea center paper publishing streak and reconnect with his Capybara spirit animal.    Thom is being called out in New Zealand Parliament, for all the right reasons, and he spent some Deep-Sea conference time in China, avoiding typhoons and pondering science ideas.    We are also celebrating 300,000 podcast downloads of the podcast, and appreciate our fans immensely!    Our guest this month is Dr. Margaret McFall-Ngai, an animal physiologist and biochemist who is a staff researcher at Carnegie Institution for Science's Division of Biosphere Sciences and Engineering, with her lab stationed at the California Institute of Technology in Biology and Biological Engineering. Dr. McFal-Ngai talks us through her work on the stable beneficial relationship between the Hawaiian bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes) and its partner, the luminous bacterium Vibrio fischeri. Although technically not a deep-sea species, this relationship and its details might help us understand how deep-sea life creates bioluminescence and the possible life cycle impacts for the creatures involved.    In the news, get ready for updates on: Plenty of Science and Art collaboration news including a new collective, social media feeds and an opportunity for scientists to connect with artists.  Toxic Yellow worms, bright pink snailfish, and chewbacca corals.

Hawaiian Concert Guide – Episode 692 Release Date: October 17, 2025 Host: Piko Title: Whale Hoohoo Episode Summary In this episode of the Hawaiian Concert Guide, Piko takes listeners on a musical journey through contemporary Hawaiian mele, slack-key gems, and lush Exotica instrumentals. From heartfelt vocal collaborations to instrumental storytelling and a powerful closing chorus of “Hawaiʻi Aloha,” Episode 692 celebrates how music keeps the spirit of the islands alive across oceans. Track List & Song Notes “Hoʻomālamalama” (feat. Stephen Inglis) – Kahiau Lam Ho – 4:10 Album: Hoʻomālamalama · Hawaiian The title Hoʻomālamalama can be translated as “to enlighten” or “to bring light.” In this track, Kahiau Lam Ho teams up with acclaimed musician Stephen Inglis to offer a song about healing, clarity, and renewal. Gentle, thoughtful vocals and a reflective arrangement give the piece a meditative quality, as if lifting the listener out of darkness and into understanding. “The One They Call Hawaiʻi” – Kahiau Lam Ho – 5:40 Album: Hoʻomālamalama · Hawaiian This song personifies Hawaiʻi as a beloved figure—someone the singer speaks of with reverence and affection. The lyrics and feel of the track evoke pride in the land and its people, touching on themes of identity, stewardship, and belonging. It plays like a love song to the islands themselves, inviting listeners to reflect on what “Hawaiʻi” means to them personally. “Kuʻu Pili Oha” – Kawika Kahiapo – 3:44 Album: Kuʻu Manaʻo · Hawaiian The phrase Kuʻu Pili Oha can be understood as “my cherished closeness” or “beloved companion.” Kawika Kahiapo, known for his soulful slack-key guitar and warm vocals, offers a gentle, intimate mele that feels like a conversation between close hearts. It's the kind of song that could be sung quietly on a porch at sunset, filled with gratitude for the relationships that sustain us. “One Heart One Voice” – Kawika Kahiapo – 4:13 Album: Kuʻu Manaʻo · Hawaiian “One Heart One Voice” leans into themes of unity and shared purpose. Kahiapo's songwriting often carries messages of peace and responsibility, and this track is a call for people to stand together with aloha. It's an uplifting reminder that when we speak and act as one, even big challenges feel more manageable. “ʻAnapau” – Jerome Koko & Daniel Ho – 2:39 Album: Makaha Sons Memoirs · Hawaiian From a project reflecting on the legacy of the Makaha Sons, “ʻAnapau” is a lively, joyful piece that carries the spirit of classic Hawaiian group vocals into a new setting. Jerome Koko's connection to the original Makaha Sons material, paired with Daniel Ho's arranging and production touch, makes this track feel both nostalgic and freshly polished. It's easy to picture friends singing along at a backyard gathering. “Poliahu” – Jerome Koko & Daniel Ho – 5:10 Album: Makaha Sons Memoirs · Hawaiian “Poliahu” is a tribute to the snow goddess of Mauna Kea. The song's mood leans more contemplative and reverent, fitting for a mele about a powerful and enigmatic figure in Hawaiian tradition. Listeners can feel the chill and majesty of the mountain in the way the melody unfolds—calm, spacious, and full of respect. “Manila” – The Waitiki 7 – 7:05 Album: Adventures in Paradise · Exotica The Waitiki 7 are known for reviving and expanding the classic Exotica sound, and “Manila” is a great example of their globe-trotting imagination. This instrumental piece conjures images of harbors, markets, and far-away ports of call. Rich textures and layered rhythms give it a cinematic feel that pairs perfectly with daydreams of travel. “Craving” – The Waitiki 7 – 5:07 Album: Adventures in Paradise · Exotica “Craving” leans into mood and atmosphere: it feels like a soundtrack for late-night conversations under tiki lights. The tune balances playful melodic lines with a slightly mysterious undercurrent, capturing that feeling of restless longing the title suggests. It's a reminder that Exotica can be both fun and emotionally evocative. “I Can See Arkansas” – Waipuna – 4:52 Album: Manaʻo Pili · Hawaiian Waipuna blend Hawaiian roots with storytelling influences that reach beyond the islands. “I Can See Arkansas” plays with the idea of geographical distance and emotional closeness—how memories and imagination can make a faraway place feel just within sight. It's a beautiful example of how Hawaiian artists connect local sensibilities with wider world experiences. “Owl's Lullaby” – Waipuna – 3:15 Album: Manaʻo Pili · Hawaiian As the title suggests, “Owl's Lullaby” has a gentle, comforting quality. In Hawaiian culture, the pueo (owl) can be a protector and guardian, and this song carries that sense of watchful care. It's the kind of mele you could easily imagine as a bedtime favorite, soothing the end of the day with calm and grace. Mahalo for Listening Mahalo nui for joining Piko on this musical journey!

Every day, hundreds of people drive to the very end of the road out of Honokaʻa on the northeast corner of Hawaii island to peer into Waipio valley from the lookout. They see that many signs warn to do the right thing, or “be pono,” and show respect by heeding the “Road Closed, Local Traffic Only” signs and keeping their vehicles out of the valley. So most wonder what happens in Waipio valley. One sign shares that Waipio valley has a thousand-year taro (kalo in Hawaiian) farming tradition. Kalo is used to produce one of the more popular indigenous foods on the islands, poi. Kalo was once a staple of the Hawaiian diet and poi is still quite popular on the islands. You can find fresh poi from Waipio valley in the local grocery stores and even at Costco. But how is poi made and who in Waipio valley is still making it? In this episode we speak with Kahealani from Mokuwai Piko Poi, Inc. whose family has been making and selling Waipio poi since the 1970s.Brought to you by University of Hawaii College of Tropical Ag. and Human Resilience (CTAHR), and the Seeds of Well-being (SOW) Project.

Speaking from his Brown County home, Reverend Peyton of Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band shared his deep passion for music as a universal language, describing how audiences worldwide, even in countries where English isn't spoken, connect with American roots music. He reflected on the rich, multicultural origins of American music—from West African vocal traditions and Celtic rhythms to Hawaiian guitar techniques—and how these influences have shaped blues, country, and rock. Peyton traced his own diverse ancestry, from Norman and Viking roots to West African heritage, and sees a connection between his lineage and his musical inclinations. Discussing his creative process, he explained that he writes daily, letting melody guide lyrics and drawing inspiration from life, nature, and travel. While fame brings challenges, Peyton treasures the global friendships forged through his music and advises young artists to create primarily for themselves, trusting that authenticity will find its audience.

The Chain Gang returns from Martin's Thrill and they've still got the campfire smoke, hangovers, and emotional damage to prove it. Hoppy Mellow, Checky Swags, and Willy T-Bone survived another cold-ass Martinsville weekend and are here to tell the tale... Checky opens in full rage mode over William Byron's vanilla victory and questionable move on Blaney (“he can kiss my ass”), while Willy confesses to using voodoo money in the race pool and claims he's legally justified under NASCAR Common Law.  Hoppy floats a conspiracy theory so spicy it should come with a warning label: that JGR “blew engines on purpose” to swap in fresh motors for Phoenix... and somehow it actually makes sense.From pit stall socialism and carb-shaming King's Hawaiian rolls to Byron vs. Blaney lap traffic politics, this one's got everything: chaos, caffeine, and a whole lot of yelling about points nobody really understands.If you love your NASCAR takes hot, your camping stories questionable, and your playoff math cooked harder than a Martinsville hot dog, this episode is your spiritual home. 

Trader Joe's breaks every rule of modern retail. They don't do e-commerce. They don't do delivery. No sales, coupons, or loyalty programs. They only stock 4,000 SKUs versus 50,000+ at normal supermarkets. Their parking lots are famously terrible and they're constantly out of your favorite items. Shoppers brave long lines and cramped aisles while overly-friendly employees in Hawaiian shirts try to chat them up. Everything about the Trader Joe's experience seems designed to drive modern consumers away. And yet they generate $2,000+ per square foot in sales — double their nearest competitor in Whole Foods and nearly 4x the industry average — and Americans are obsessed with them. How on earth did a company that so steadfastly refuses to participate in the 21st century build the most beloved grocery chain in America?Today we tell the full story: how “Trader” Joe Coulombe started out cloning 7-Elevens in 1960s Los Angeles, pivoted to slinging hard liquor, discovered the enormous market opportunities for California wine and health food before anyone else, and ultimately built perhaps the most counter-positioned business we've ever studied on Acquired by doing almost everything differently than the supermarket-CPG industrial complex.

A life of Aloha is one where the heart is so full and overflowing with love, peace, and compassion, it gives you the

In this interview, Melissa and Clay interview husband and wife team Ed Pettys and Debbie Chang from their home in Paʻauilo mauka on Hawaiʻi Island about their work helping to connect people to Hawaiian landscapes beginning in the late 1960s. They talk about growing up in Hawaiʻi–Ed from Lihue, Kauaʻi and Debbie from Kohala, Hawaiʻi and meeting through their work in the Department of Land and Natural Resources. Debbie helped to spearhead the new Na ʻAla Hele trails and access program in the 1980s while Edʻs work took him across Micronesia–from Pohnpei to Kosrae, and eventually to Kauaʻi as Forestry and Wildlife District manager. Theirs is a collective understanding of the importance of teamwork and leadership especially in the wake of hurricane Iniki.
