The queens and hosts of The Mile High Club podcast join the show to discuss how their journey in podcasting and media began and continues to grow, Poly generational and cultural divides we need to bridge, and how we can all better support Pacific Islander women (Speak good of/uplift PI women, hold other men accountable for their words and actions, exhibit and provide healthy love to your children, encourage PI women to speak their minds). Also, the Unholy Trinity gives their takes on "Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn't Exist"; Rosey and Dora's most memorable Mile High Club interviews from Season 2; MHC's favorite new (and classic) music artists to add to your playlists and TV shows that we're all watching; and us all trying to find some paid sponsorships for how much podcast/content production and equipment can cost.

Put on for the Culture. Catch the Wave. 🌊

Creative director and pop culture analyst Ralph Misa joins the show to discuss Netflix's "Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn't Exist" and making "Catfish" a household term, Tony Vainuku's ability to show the parallels between Naya and Manti's lives before, during and after their relationship, how LGBTQ+ members have been forced to live outside of their Truth when with family, and the pressures of expectation that our culture and religions can have on those same kids. Also, how Islanders going all-out in protecting their family name can include silencing young testimonies, thereby allowing trauma to continue onto the next generation.
