Send us a textBlue Hawaii-days of Horror: A Christmas SpooktacularMerry Christmas, Aloha, and Mele Kalikimaka from the haunted shores of Honaunau-Napoopoo, Hawaii! This week, The Wednesday Night Podcast presents our annual Christmas Spooktacular, a festive fright fest guaranteed to make you question everything you thought you knew about the holidays.We're swapping out the traditional carols for the King himself, Elvis Presley, and his iconic Christmas album. But don't expect a peaceful Hawaiian Christmas luau. We'll be using Elvis's smooth vocals as the soundtrack for a truly terrifying tradition: "Never Have I Ever: Christmas Edition." Prepare for shocking confessions, embarrassing revelations, and maybe even a few ghostly encounters from the mischievous Yule Lads. (it is a spooktacular, after all).Will anyone survive the night without revealing their deepest, darkest holiday secrets? Will the spirits of Honaunau-Napoopoo join in the fun? Will Elvis approve from beyond the grave? Tune in to find out! Grab your eggnog (or maybe something a little stronger), put on your spookiest Santa hat, and join us for a Christmas you'll never forget (or maybe wish you could).website: actonmusicproject.comemail: music@actonmusicproject.comCraig's phone number: ‪(978) 310-1613‬

Hello, Emily, and welcome to the show. It's great to have you with us. Emily Bleeker: Hello, thank you for having me. Jenny Wheeler: Emily, When We Were Enemies, which is your seventh book and the one that we're talking about today, is partly set in a POW camp, a prisoner of war camp in Indiana during World War II. And it dips into aspects of your own family history. I wondered if you'd like to start by just giving us an idea of how it all came together. Emily Bleeker: Yes, sure. It was years and years ago. My dad told me a story about how my grandmother worked in a POW camp in Mississippi, and I had no idea what he was talking about because I did not even know that was a thing. So it went in one ear and out the other. But I have just become more interested in my grandmother's life and her story. I decided to do some research on the topic and found out that was a real thing during World War Two. And the other interesting part of that story about my grandmother is that she met an Italian priest there. She was married to my grandfather and they had a platonic friendship that continued for the rest of his life. He would draw pictures on postcards and send them to her every so often throughout the rest of his life. Italian POWs in US camps Jenny Wheeler: Yes, I must admit,

Darry Fraser. Introducing author Darry Fraser Darry Fraser - historical fiction that restores women's place in history Jenny Wheeler: Hello there Darry and welcome to the show. It's great to have you with us. Darry Fraser: Oh, thank you, Jenny. Thanks so much for having me. Jenny Wheeler: Darry, you're a best-selling author, some of your books have reached the Top 100 lists in Australia. And you write “empowering feminist adventures.” That's the way you like to describe them. They're all historicals as well. So tell us, what do you like about writing feminist adventure stories? Darry Fraser: The first thing I hear quite a lot, especially when I'm doing library talks or bookstore events or something is, ‘Gee, all your leading ladies are well ahead of their time.' and so on and so forth. And I had to have a think about and about that and address that women back in the day were just like you and I are in our 21st century, except they had greater restrictions on what they were allowed to do by law or within the family or whatever. But I don't believe that too many women were just wimps. I think they had as strong a personality as people you might meet today. But what fascinated me was how they maintained their own strength and their feminist, - and we're not talking feminazis here, we're talking feminists  - being your own true self, within the restrictions that they came across. And... I think when you step back in time, which is basically what I do, and I love doing that, you find these people dotted throughout history, because we don't often have a great glimpse of the ordinary person's day-to-day life. Finding fascinating historical stories That glimpse of strength comes through, and we're finding more and more stories about let's say Australian and New Zealand women who did their own thing within the...

Hello there, Fiona, and welcome to the show. It's so good to have you with us. Fiona Lowe: Oh, thank you so much for having me. It's great to be here. Jenny Wheeler: Fiona, you've got a very impressive back list in the romance area where you started writing You've got prize winning books that have won RITAs. That's the US romance prize and the RUBY, the Australian prize. But you've turned in more recent years to women's fiction and this one that we're going to be talking about today, The Money Club is actually about the sixth one of these women's fiction ones, if I counted correctly. Why did you make that change from more straight romance to very much women's fiction? Fiona Lowe: Oh, I was published with Penguin Random House in America around about the time that they merged. And I had a series, and the first book had done well. The second book release coincided with the merger and it was absolute chaos. They sacked my editor and they didn't get the books out of the warehouse. And then they said, ‘oh, we're not publishing those types of books anymore.' I had lived in the States and I was writing books set in America, but when that all happened, I had an absolute hankering to write a book set in my own back garden in Australia. A forced change of direction that worked out well I wanted to move beyond looking at one couple and one relationship, and I wanted to roam over all sorts of things and write books about family and communities. I changed direction, but that said, the emotion that I write into my books now, I probably couldn't have done without all those years of having written the romance fiction up until that point. Jenny Wheeler: And are you still with the same publisher, just doing different types of books? Fiona Lowe: No. I'm with Harper Collins, Australia now, have been for the last seven books. Jenny Wheeler: Oh, fantastic.

Jenny Wheeler: You are the best-selling author of inspirational fiction with nearly a million copies sold. That's a point for congratulations and celebration for starters. And we are going to be talking today about one of your recent series, Love and Honor, but you've got six other series and also half a dozen or so standalone books. Give us an idea of where did you get started? Was it with the inspirational fiction, right at the beginning? Hallee Bridgeman: That's what published first, but I wrote years ago, I was originally a secular romance author, not a Christian romance author. I had 10 books written that were secular, typical, straight up romance. And then. I shelved them for a few years, I went through a divorce and I got remarried and I had babies and then one day I pulled them out and that was when I changed them to Christian fiction. Six of those original stories have been published, but I redeemed them. I went in and I made them Christian instead of just a romance story. What else you'll hear in Hallee's interview: Why she rewrote her first ten books How Hallee manages a fulltime job, home schooling two ten boys, and publishing 49 books as well How being a ‘military brat' has influenced her writing.

On this weeks episode, Lauren Alexander chats with Ana Cristina Cash about her take on the Hawaiian Christmas classic, "Mele Kalikimaka".  Ana Cristina Cash is an American singer-songwriter, raised in Miami, Florida by her Cuban parents who moved to the United States in the early 1960s during the onset of the revolution. Growing up listening to a multitude of genres, Cash's sound was influenced by an eclectic array of inspiration from gritty Blues and Jazz to Pop-Country. Writing directly from the heart, the singer-songwriter's recordings exhibit a broad vocal range, spanning from an expressive and resonating contralto to a soaring coloratura soprano, otherwise known as the “whistle register.” At the young age of 19, Cash was given the honor of singing “ The Star-Spangled Banner” at the 2005 Presidential Inauguration, making her the first Hispanic in history to do so. Cash was then asked to return in 2006 as she was invited to perform at the White House for the President of the United States, the Crowned Prince of Spain and notable world ambassadors. That same year, she released “You Can Change the World” as a duet with Michaelangelo. The song's bilingual counterpart, “El Mundo Puedes Cambiar,” went on to become the theme song for the World Cup Germany 2006. Writing from her heart first, all of Ana's projects reflect her connection to Rockabilly and gritty Blues, along with a flavor of Country and Soul. https://www.anacristinacash.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/groovelab/support

Host Christopher Mitchell interviews Matt Rantanen, Director of Technology for the Southern California Tribal Chairman's Association, and Brandon Makaawaawa, Deputy Head of State for Nation of Hawaii while attending the Internet Society's 3rd Annual Indigenous Connectivity Summit. Christopher, Matt, and Brandon discuss how the digital divide has impacted native Hawaiians and what communities are doing about it. They also discuss: The difficult history of the nation of Hawaii and how it has left indigenous people without sovereign nation status and access to funding. How Brandon's community built the first community broadband network in Hawaii after large telecom corporations left them without connectivity. The significance of the Indigenous Connectivity Summit and the role of the Internet Society in promoting equitable Internet access.   With the lack of [Internet] provision by the existing incumbents to the Native American communities, it is our duty to provide for ourselves and dictate our future and become self-determined.   Related Resources Indigenous Community Launches First Community Broadband Network in Hawai'i – Community Broadband Bits Podcast 385 Internet Society – Indigenous Connectivity Summit Native Community in Hawaii Gets Broadband Network by Now This Transcript Hibba Meraay: Welcome back everyone to another episode of Building Local Power. I'm Hibba Meraay, communications manager at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, and our community abroad band director. Chris Mitchell is here to tell you a little bit more about today's interview. Hey Chris. Chris Mitchell: Howdy. How are you? Hibba Meraay: I'm good. How are you doing today? Chris Mitchell: I think I'm doing really good today cause I'm not actually working today. We're recording this ahead of time since it's the day after Christmas and right in the middle of a nice little break that we're taking. So I hope that people are having a happy holidays and preparing for a wonderful new year and all that sort of stuff. But I'm definitely excited to talk about this wonderful story about Hawaii. I was just going to make a reference to the famous Hawaiian Christmas song, but I think, or this the Christmas song that's about Hawaii, but I'll save that. Hibba Meraay: It would be great if you could actually sing us a little portion of that song. Chris Mitchell: This would be the episode that if we could have analytics for, nobody would listen past the third minute. If I started to sing, it would just be over. I was actually trying to work this out statistically, I think I am in the less than one percentile of people who can sing. Hibba Meraay: Oh-no. Chris Mitchell: I have the worst absolute worst singing, so I won't do that. Hibba Meraay: Okay. So maybe we'll just stick to talking about the interview then. Chris Mitchell: That's probably safe. Hibba Meraay: So you met the folks that you interviewed at the Internet Society's 2019 Indigenous Connectivity Summit. Can you tell us what is the Internet Society? Chris Mitchell: Yes, so this is actually an organization that I didn't know enough about until recently and they're in the news a lot for reasons that we'll talk about. But when the Internet was being commercialized, Vint Cerf and several other people that whose names I should know, but I am not recalling right now, they were wanting to make sure there was an organization that would promote the values of the Internet in many ways and make sure that it lived up to the hope of being, a technology that was used for tech, for communicating, for promoting people's good values that people would be able to use it and specifically that everyone would be able to use it in a safe manner. So they both promote connectivity and also things like encryption and security practices and keeping people well informed. They've been funded by money that every time someone registers a .org name. Chris Mitchell: So when reregister ILSR,

The we hear from the one and only Elvis Presley, singing “Here Comes Santa Claus.” I bet kids of all ages, even young ones today know that voice… Now, while I still call New Orleans home, I recently took a wonderful job at St. Jude Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. That’s where Elvis lived and first recorded! So let’s hear another song from the Volunteer State… enjoy Amy Grant and Kid Pan Alley with “Christmas in Tennessee,” followed by the great jazz trumpeter Louis Armstrong with “Christmas in New Orleans.” How fun to compare the lyrics! They both begin with verses about the distinctive trees of the regions. Christmas in Tennessee The leaves are changing colors, they’re falling off the trees I know it won’t be long now till it’s Christmas in Tennessee.  I hope somewhere that Santa Claus is thinking about you and me.  He’s gonna bring us lots of toys when it’s Christmas in Tennessee. Christmas in New Orleans Magnolia trees at night, Sparkling bright,  Fields of cotton look wintery white  When it’s Christmas time in New Orleans A barefoot choir in prayer fills the air,  Mississippi folks are gathering there,  ‘Cuz it’s Christmas time in New Orleans. Next we hear from the marvelous Cajun musician Michael Doucet with “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, followed by a jazzy version of “Blue Christmas” by Louisiana chanteuse Linnzi Zaorkski (who was raised in Alexandria and Shreveport and now calls Bush, Louisiana home). Last we hear a Hawaiian Christmas song, “Mele Kalikimaka,” performed by singer Debbie Davis & sousaphonist Matt Perrine, a married couple who are busy musicians in New Orleans (as are their musical kids). Also featured in this episode are two delighted holiday stories. One is a fun little tale from Justin Wilson, an old Cajun cook from Roseland, with “Santa Claus and the Mouse.” And we hear “The Kitty at the Manger” told by Mary Jean Chester of Des Allemands, Louisiana. The Confetti Park radio show and podcast is supported by the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation and Music Rising at Tulane University. Thanks for listening.
