Chief Justice Roberts Needs to Investigate. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guest is Chuck Crumpton.
Twenty years of accepting lavish gifts, and Justice Thomas didn't think to offer any disclosure. Judges know rules, that's how they become a judge. Rather than look up specific requirements (rules) of gift disclosure, Clarence Thomas said he asked around if accepting gifts for travel and hotels valued in the thousands of dollars was permitted. All areas of government have strict rules prohibiting the acceptance of gifts, except, it seems, SCOTUS. Calls by the Senate Judicial Committee is requesting Chief Justice Roberts to initiate an investigation. The panel examines influence peddling to members of the highest court in the land.

Chicago and Honolulu, the Uneven Pair. The hosts for this show are Martin Despang and DeSoto Brown.
Previous 'human[e] architecture' investigations have identified that Honolulu’s skyscraping skyline borrows much from Chicago, from architectural articulation to authorship. Both cities fronting water, this series of episodes investigates the most recent development in Chicago and their relation to and relevance for Honolulu. DOM Publisher’s 'Chicago Architectural Guide' gives orientation and inspiration for Martin Despang’s scavenger hunt in Chicago in May 2022. It refreshes previous impressions and eye witnessing memories of DeSoto Brown and Martin Despang from combined from the 60’s, 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s. The show is making the viewers recollect, update or initiate their substantiated image of Honolulu’s fellow Windy City as to what to learn from and what not to.

Trust the Bot to Write a Good Book for You. The host for this show is Mihaela Stoops. The guest is David Katz.
The world of books as we know it will soon change with the arrival of Chat GPT4 and other artificial intelligence powered writers. David Katz has already experimented with it and he shares the pluses and the minuses from his perspective as a writer, avid reader and book lover. We discuss how writers will incorporate this technology in their work and how readers will be impacted when more books are printed faster, when wordsmithing is done by a bot and when every book can be easily summarized in a matter of minutes.

Access Creativity Thru Life Transitions. The host for this show is Phyllis Blees. The guest is Jeannette Diaz.
We learn of three life-transition times of Jeannette Diaz which led to her releasing and applying her creativity: (1) becoming a professor of architecture, (2) creating a fused-glass studio, and (3) obtaining a doctorate in creativity from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
From these transitions, Diaz offers these core practices to develop our creative potential:
* Centering ourselves: breathing exercises, meditation, silence, nature
* Focusing on tasks: look for 'flow states'
* Acknowledging creative behaviors to change our brains
* Accepting creativity as a way of life

Women Fight for Reproductive Rights in US. The host for this show is Joshua Cooper. The guest is Tarah Demant.
Access to abortion is a fundamental human right supported by international human rights committees ruling that criminalizing abortion violates the rights of women and girls. The U.S. Supreme Court reversal of Roe v. Wade in June 2022 denies women federal protection, ushering in a new era of engagement for gender equality and equity. Recently, reproductive rights advocates face a tough pill to swallow with a federal judge ruling that the abortion pill mifepristone must be pulled from the shelves. Women in America and around the world respond to the multiple rollback of basic human rights and fundamental freedoms with a call for gender justice.

Hawai'i is the only island state in the country, which means it faces unique transportation challenges — whether shipping, airports, harbors, bus, rail or highways.
So how can island lawmakers best manage the transportation policies?
On today’s episode of Hawaii Together, host Keli'i Akina speaks with Baruch Feigenbaum, senior managing director of transportation policy at the national Reason Foundation, about how Hawai'i can reduce the costs and the improve service quality of its various mass transportation systems by relying more on the private sector.
