Thanksgiving in Hawaiʻi is a truly unique experience. From unusual but oh-so-ʻono appetizers and entrees to large—like really large—family gatherings, Turkey Day is done a bit differently here in the Islands. But this year, like every other holiday in 2020, things will be different due to the pandemic.

To talk all about Thanksgiving, Cat and Kevin are joined by HAWAIʻI Magazine art director Kayla Rivera and digital media specialist Shelley Shiroma to discuss how their own holiday plans have been affected by COVID-19.

Planning a vacation is hard enough, and with COVID-19 throwing a wrench into things, making the perfect winter itinerary has never been more headache-inducing. To ease the pain, Cat and Kevin discuss some key festivals, events and holiday happenings that are either changing the way they'll be conducting their festivities, or will be canceled altogether.

On this especially spooky episode of the Have Aloha Will Travel podcast, your hosts Catherine Toth Fox and Kevin Allen are joined by the maestro of nightmares himself, Lopaka Kapanui.

Known for his Mystery's of Hawaiʻi walking tours, Kapanui has made a name for himself within the paranormal groups of Hawaiʻi thanks to his deep log of stories and supernatural occurrences—ready to be told at a moment's notice. And he sure sent chills up Kevin and Cat's spines during this episode of the Have Aloha Will Travel podcast.

On October 15, those looking to travel to Hawaiʻi will be able to bypass the state's mandatory 14-day quarantine with a negative COVID-19 test result. And although travelers are more than ready to come back to the Islands, is the state ready for visitors? That's what Cat and Kevin explore on this week's episode of the Have Aloha Will Travel podcast.

The Have Aloha Will Travel podcast is back with another episode, this time Cat and Kevin talk chocolates—and more—with CEO and president of Hawaiian Host, Ed Schultz.

Originally getting his start doing investment banking in New York, the young entrepreneur went on to start a local café chain Honolulu Coffee Company, before being recruited to head one of the sweetest companies on island, Hawaiian Host, which is known worldwide for its chocolate-covered macadamia nuts. Now he's working on introducing exciting new Hawaiian Host products to the masses during these uncertain times while maintaining the premium chocolate products Hawaiian Host has been selling for over 80 years.

The Have Aloha Will Travel podcast turns 40 this week—they grow up so fast—and your hosts, Kevin Allen and Catherine Toth Fox, are joined by HAWAIʻI Magazine art director Kayla Rivera to talk about their latest print issue.

Very special guest Nathan "Nate" Serota—a public information officer for the Department of Parks and Recreation of the City and County of Honolulu—is in the hot seat this week on the "Have Aloha Will Travel" podcast, your biweekly Hawaiʻi-focused pod hosted by HAWAIʻI Magazine editor, Catherine Toth Fox, and associate editor, Kevin Allen.

It's impossible to escape the COVID-19 news cycle, and Cat and Kevin have a lot to discuss in regard to Oʻahu's latest COVID-19 shutdown and rising number of infections on this week's episode of the Have Aloha Will Travel podcast.

Who loves Mondays? Garfield, and the listeners of the Have Aloha Will Travel podcast, that's who. Back again for their 37th episode, Cat and Kevin get on the mic to talk about one of their favorite events of the year, HAWAIʻI Magazine's annual Readers' Choice Awards.

Cat, Kevin and Kyla recently visited Waikīkī, Kailua and Haleʻiwa, and they’re here with updates on the iconic Oʻahu towns. If you have topics you would like us to cover in a future podcast, feel free to email us at [email protected] or tag us on social media and use #HaveAlohaWillTravel.
