  • 'The Least of Us' by Sam Quinones (Books! Books! Books!)

    What Can we Do About Drug Addiction in US.  The host for this show is Mihaela Stoops.  The guest is Kent Shaw.  


    17 new synthetic drugs were identified in 2020 alone. The farmers and drug lords have been replaced by 'brains' in super labs. Drug traffickers act like corporations and corporations act like drug traffickers, with no concern for consumers' well-being, but only for their revenues. In his book, Sam Quinones introduces us to communities all over the country that have been affected by the opioid endemic and that are working hard to deal with it and its consequences. This is not just one addict's problem, it affects all of us; it is the community that will have to offer support, mentorship, training and job opportunities for those trying to overcome their addiction.

  • Imagine Truly Loving Your Enemy (Figments: The Power of Imagination)

    Finding Faith in the Depths of Hell.  The host for this show is Dan 'Fig' Leaf.  The guest is Guy Gruters.  


    Guy Gruters had already completed over 400 combat missions in the O-1 Birddog, only to be shot down as a Misty Fast Forward Air Controller during the war in Viet Nam. After recovering from significant injuries from that combat ejection, he chose to return to the dangerous Misty mission - only to be shot down again.

    Badly injured and captured by the enemy, Guy was beaten, tortured, and watched an Air Force Academy classmate die from injuries inflicted by their captors. He descended into a hellish swirl of hatred for his enemies, and had an overwhelming desire to kill himself and deny the North Vietnamese the opportunity to use him as a pawn in the war.

    Guy shares the powerful story of finding real faith after months of prayer, and his resulting transition from hate to love - even for his enemies.

  • Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project (The Creative Life)

    Creativity in the Face of Extinction.  The host for this show is Darlene Boyd.  The guest is Hunter Craft.  


    The extinction of species is one of the most compelling problems of our times. The loss of the world's biodiversity negatively impacts human quality of life, cultural heritage, economic growth, the availability of clean drinking water and the potential for scientific discoveries. These are just a few examples of how our world changes when organisms vanish from the earth. Hunter Craft has been working on the front lines of this extinction crisis for the last two years with the Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project, an organization dedicated to saving some of the world's rarest birds in one of the world's most beautiful places. Instead of being a career field biologist, Hunter originally trained as an anthropologist. It is this background that Hunter is so excited to discuss this with us today. Guest Hunter Craft believes that creativity is a key component of tackling such large and difficult problems as extinction. Creativity must draw inspiration from different places and traditions.

  • E ʻOnipaʻa Kakou: Forge Hawaiʻiʻs Future (Cooper UNion)

    130 Years Ago Overthrow and Organizing Now.  The host for this show is Joshua Cooper.  The guests are Lynette Cruz, Kuhio Vogeler and Kekoa Enomoto.  


    January 17 in Hawaiʻi serves as a solemn day for reflection on the illegal overthrow and a call for moral revolution for a better future. January 17 marks Hawaiʻiʻs monarchy being overthrown.  Beyond the businessmen proclaiming a provisional government with the support of the U.S. Boston and Queen Liliʻuokalani preventing bloodshed being forced to abdicate her thrown temporarily, January 17 reminds us of the past atrocities but also the necessity for the nation of Hawaiʻi to be honored and respected.  On the 130th commemoration, the people call for a path of peace, truth and reconciliation rooted in human rights for all beginning with Kanaka Maoli.

  • Improving Healthcare in Hawaii (Hawaii Together)

    Could a Lower Tax Burden Help.  The host for this show is Keli'i Akina.  The guest is Scott Grosskreutz.  


    It’s no secret that Hawaii has a healthcare crisis. The state has a shortage of more than 700 physicians and more than 3,000 healthcare staff. Meanwhile, many patients report running into significant delays in finding the care they need. For residents of the neighbor islands, these delays can prove fatal.

    Dr. Scott Grosskreutz, who practices radiology on Hawaii Island and is an active member of the Hawaii Physician Shortage Crisis Task Force, joins host Keli’i Akina, president and CEO of the Grassroot Institute, to discuss what state lawmakers can do to address these dire concerns.

    On today’s episode of 'Hawaii Together,' Akina and Grosskreutz discuss the state’s healthcare staff shortage, its general excise tax and medical licensing laws and what lawmakers can do to make Hawaii a safer and healthier place to live.
