Powered by HAWAIʻI Magazine, episode 105 of the "Have Aloha Will Travel" podcast welcomes Chef McKenna Shea. The Pacific'o chef recently took the crown on Food Network's "Chopped."

Podcast co-hosts Kevin Allen, Catherine Toth Fox and Grace Maeda welcome Ryan Kalei Tsuji, co-owner of The Lei Stand, to discuss his new cocktail lounge and to dish on his favorite spots in Downtown Honolulu and Chinatown.

Tomorrow isn’t just Feb. 21.  

It’s Fat Tuesday, also known as Mardi Gras. In Hawaiʻi, it’s more commonly known as Malasada Day; a day to indulge in the popular deep-fried, sugar-dusted doughnuts.  

To celebrate one of sweetest days of the year, Kevin Allen, Catherine Toth Fox and Grace Maeda unpack their go-to indulgent dishes in the Islands—and argue what foods constitute as indulgent—on episode 103 of the “Have Aloha Will Travel” podcast.

On episode 102 of the “Have Aloha Will Travel” podcast, co-hosts Kevin Allen and Grace Maeda welcome Dane Lam. The conductor is making history as the Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra’s first music director in its 10-year history. 

In this newly established position, Lam will not only lead the 84-member orchestra, but also ensure HSO continues its commitment to enrich Hawaiʻi through live music and serve as a premier provider of symphonic art forms throughout the Pacific. In this role, Lam will oversee HSO’s performance repertoire for each concert season, organize performances by guest artists and conductors and also shape the artistic identity of the orchestra both on and off the stage.
