  • Love this

    Love the content and the way it is presented. I just started listening about a month ago. I am familiar with some of the cases but not all, having lived in Hawaii a very long time. Thanks again for producing such a great podcast!

  • Interesting, but pronunciation of Hawaiian places/names is awful

    This is a very intriguing podcast and I appreciate how much research the host puts into each story. The episodes are a little short (≈15 minutes each), but they are very concise and informative.

    However, as someone who was born and raised in Hawai‘i, the host’s pronunciation of Hawaiian names and places is absolutely horrendous. It disappoints me to think that non-locals listening to this will hear those names and think that is how they should be pronounced.

    If you are going to host a podcast... more

  • Disappointing

    There is depth of story detail leaving a lot to be desired and more questions than answers. Not sure why they would have chosen someone with a foreign accent to host the podcast and while I swear a lot, the host’s use of profanity seems contrived and out of place. 1.5 stars

  • Repetitive narrative

    Being from Hawaii I am interested in all of these. However it’s infuriating that the narrative circles the same information to make it longer. Just make them short . Just when you think he’s moving on he will say the same thing in a different way. Adds some fluff . Super annoying
