The House has voted to eliminate previously approved funding to public media. Here's what happens next, and how you can help protect HPR and all public media.

Roger County

Host, Bridging the Gap

Roger County came to Hawai‘i in 1977 for summer vacation. Two months after his arrival, he started working at a small alternative elementary school called Hale Mohala, which, unbeknownst to him, kicked off his 40+ year career as an Early Childhood Educator—31 of those years were spent at The Early School in Mo‘ili‘ili. In 2008, Roger was accepted as a community member into the fold of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa's college radio station, KTUH. Today, you can also hear him Wednesday nights on HPR’s Bridging the Gap.
