  • Is the GOP a Cult (History is Here to Help)

    If So, What Does that Tell us About its Future.  The host for this show is Jay Fidell.  The guests are Peter Hoffenberg and Jean Rosenfeld.  


    Jean Rosenfeld, respected scholar of the history of religion and the relationships between religion and politics, explores with us whether today's
    political parties and both their leaders and followers can be helpfully understood as cults. What does that term mean for scholars and the general
    public? We focus on the American political scene and consider comparisons with politics in other parts of the world.

  • A Peacemaker Talks About Civil Disruption (Community Matters)

    Just How Likely is this in our United States.  The host for this show is Jay Fidell.  The guest is Peter Adler.  


    Peter Adler, mediator, talks about a piece he wrote for a mediator blog (www.mediate.com). We focus on the prospects for civil disruption in the U.S. a subject in his recent novel, DEFIANCE AT DUCK SPRINGS: A STORY OF SMALL TOWN AMERICA AND THE NEXT CIVIL WAR. We may think it odd for a mediator/peacemaker like Peter Adler to brood on civil disruption but a decorated combat veteran he knows, who was also a mediator, once said, “If you want to make peace, study war.” Good advice!

  • Deter Putin: Calibrate or Target him (Politics for the People)

    Empower Sanctions to Urge Putin Backoff.  The host for this show is Stephanie Dalton.  The guests are Jay Fidell and Karen Buzzard.  


    Show’s Guests comment on how Putin’s military advance on Ukraine evoke a Western North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) response in the form of Sanctions, mostly economic.  Sanctions’ effects can take time to impact the target.  Is stronger, more immediate pushback necessary to deter Russian aggression on its neighbors?  Will unproductive sanctions threaten Biden’s standing as President, especially given downward trends of approval?  Is Biden a promisekeeper?  Importantly, can he harden the West’s response to illegal, unjustified incursion into another country?

  • Tax on Health Care (Talking Tax)

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.  The host for this show is Jay Fidell.  The guest is Tom Yamachika.  


    The physician shortage in Hawaii, although highlighted by the pandemic, has been years in the making.  Its causes include a low Medicare reimbursement rate, General Excise Tax (GET) applying to medical practices, and our sky-high cost of living.  Medicare will only reimburse medical work at “reasonable charges” and will not reimburse the doctors for the GET they have to pay.  Doctors usually wind up absorbing the tax rather than attempting to surcharge their patients for it, meaning they have to account for yet another expense amidst Hawaii’s high cost of everything.  A bill now being considered at the Legislature shines a spotlight on hospitals and caregivers who try to deal with GET and aren't doing a great job of it.

    "It's not what it looks like." Choconugs Hawaii's tagline is a simple description of the company's products: they're chocolates that are meant to look like weed, but contain no THC ("they're just candy"). CEO Josh Naito and COO Lesley Naito, business and life partners, used their collective professional experiences to launch Choconugs Hawaii in 2021. To date, their products are available online, as well as carefully selected retail stores. Josh and Lesley are also working on establishing two locations for production - one in Hawaii, and one in Washington. Learn more about their target demographic, how they intend on using their products to educate communities further on the benefits of medicinal cannabis (as well as addressing stigmas around it), and why they've pursued this specific niche to bring joy to people.
