A busy news week comes to a conclusion on the Rick Hamada Program with a solid conversation with Kam Napier and Katie Helland from Aloha State Daily.

Rick Hamada has a full-length conversation with a familiar voice and face to many across Hawaii -- Tony Silva, now running for the Hawaii House of Representatives in District 26.

Last week, Rick Hamada wrote his weekly column about the coming Champions Tour Event that will take the place of the PGA Tour's Sony Open this coming January. This morning, Rick talks with Ed Kageyama of Pearl at Kalau'ao about the impact of this change, the players we will see, the differences in the course, and more this coming January.

Rick Hamada is joined by Chad Blair from Honolulu Civil Beat for their weekly conversation...a conversation that has increasingly turning towards Civil Beat's coverage of corruption at the State Capitol, spearheaded by the latest revelations in the case of Sylvia Luke. The Campaign Spending Commission is forwarding evidence for possible criminal charges--is this scandal about to get bigger?

After a few weeks of fun and vacation, Richard Cricchio returns to the Rick Hamada Program to talk real estate and more. Honolulu's median home sale price is up...again! Is there any slump in the market? What about interest rates? It's all that and more with Richard and Help-U-Sell Hawaii.

Rick Hamada spends the start of the 8 o'clock hour talking about the Honolulu City Council's likely override of Mayor Rick Blangiardi, with a vote coming up for later in the day. The override would kill the Office of Economic Development. (City Council did indeed vote 6-2 to override Mayor Blangiardi later this afternoon).

Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi and Rick Hamada are together again after a few week break with a brand new edition of Ask The Mayor on NewsRadio 830 KHVH. LOTS of calls from people across the island for the mayor, plus Mayor Blangiardi reacts to the possible override planned for a city council vote later in the day -- an override that would kill the Office Of Economic Development.

Rick Hamada reacts to a fact sheet released by the Honolulu Police Department regarding a carjacking perpetrated by a 14 year old boy in Waianae against a 76 year old woman.

We continue our partnership with the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources at the University of Hawaii by speaking with Dr. Kristi West of the Health and Stranding Lab. We discuss her team's research on marine mammal health, rapid disease-detection technology, and the impact of plastic debris on local pilot whales, empowering listeners to better protect our marine ecosystems.

Rick Hamada reacts to FOX News' coverage on the latest rape accusations levied against Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner.
