Two very different states by most accounts, Alaska and Hawaii share a unique connection as the two states not connected by land to the rest of the Lower 48. In order to delve into this connection further, your hosts thought it would be prudent to spend some time on the Hawaiian Islands...for purely research purposes of course. As the start of a short miniseries highlighting aspects that make the Hawaiian Islands such an iconic place to visit, Danny and Andrew share some of the unique connections that both Alaska and Hawaii share despite their differences in size, location and climate. Who is Captain Cook's equal in modern exploration? Does Hawaiian beer live up to the standard set up by Alaskan brews? And what type of fish would a bald eagle hunt in Hawaii? It's the episode that will have you questioning your winter residency!
