Chris Barnett and Julius Santos hosts a lively debate with former DOE superintendent Dr. Nerissa Underwood and Dr. Michael Bevacqua from UOG about topical island issues including decolonization, town hall meetings and working with FSM citizens.

Nurse Jen Artero is back, and she's brought her funkiest podcast episode yet - talking with Jason Salas about every type of body odor under the sun (and the types directly caused by it). They break down the biochemistry of people that move to Guam and "embrace" the island's humidity, sweat glands and spicy foods, severe ear wax stench, puberty issues, tonsil stones, holding your farts, bad breath that could wake the dead, and whether there really are people whose poop doesn't stink.

What food can you eat to stink less? Do deodorant types matter? Body wash or bar soap? And does brushing your tongue really make a difference?

It's a lighthearted and educational look at a personal and seriously embarrassing topic, so we're here with the answers you need to get you smelling like roses.

We're all about the summertime blockbusters that are being churned-out lately, so Jason, Asha and Noelle present their reviews of Child's Play, Toy Story 4, and Men In Black International, respectively.

Join in with your comments, feedback and snarks!

Rlene Santos Steffy sits with Palu (master navigator) Larry Raigetal from Lamotrek, Yap, to learn why two traditional canoes the Fanahigiyan and the Quest and their motorized escort yacht were unable to complete their journey to Luta in early June.

They left Guahan on Saturday night June 1 at about 9 p.m. and were expected to arrive at Luta around 10 a.m. Sunday morning.

Palu Raigetal said he expected that sailing up to Luta directly from Guahan would be a challenge as his ancestors cautioned them about the channel between Guahan and Luta. But, no one, not even a Palu, could have anticipated what happened on that trip. Listen as Palu Raigetal describes what happened.

Dannie Baisa from Reddirt Tattoo talks with Nurse Jenn Artero about the craft of body art. When it comes to getting tattoos, is there a preferred place on you anatomy?

It's an insightful talk about a form of expression many people have.
