  • Aloha from one corner of Polynesia to another

    I began listing to The Morning Shift partially as a way to stay updated on current events in Aotearoa. My partner lives in Auckland majority of the year and I primarily live on the Big Island, so I thought this would be fun way to stay connected. I was instantly hooked to this podcast’s merriment, relatability, and the emphasis on the importance of family and culture. Plus these three braddahs have the most contagious laughs!
