UH Sea Grant Climate Change Report: Dolan Eversole
For years now, we’ve heard about what has happened to Hawaii as the effects of climate change continued to escalate. We’ve also been warned about how those impacts may modify the Hawaii we know. The UH Sea Grant program has just released a report to once again draw attention to a message you may have heard, but not heeded. Dolan Eversole is the report’s lead author and he joined us in studio to tell us about it.
Intro Music: Fools Gold by The Stone Roses

Sandy Tsukiyama Atherton Studio Concert
Recent decades have seen an explosion of women songwriters with a highly individual approach. It’s hard to imagine a Laura Nyro or Joni Mitchell song coming from any other source... and as a result, we’re given a perspective no male songwriter can provide. Singer Sandy Tsukiyama has asked a couple of her singer friends to think of songs by female songwriters that have especially inspired them, and we’ll hear the results tomorrow evening in our Atherton Studio. She’s on the line to give us a preview of what she, Alison Maldonado, Riya Davis, and Rachel Gonzales have been cooking up.
Intro Music: Let the River Run by Carly Simon
Outro Music: Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves by Eurythmics, Aretha Franklin
Anti-Homeless Bills: Kathryn Xian
About a month ago advocates for the homeless thought they’d scored a victory. The sit- lie and other bills they said criminalize the homeless were deferred indefinitely. Next week, the Honolulu City Council will again take up bills 42, 43, 45, 46, and 48, and that has launched Kathryn Xian, Executive Director of Pacific Alliance to Stop Slavery, back into action. She joined the show to tell us why she is strongly opposed to these bills.
Intro Music: First Breath After Coma by Explosions in the Sky
Outro Music: To Floor Thirteen, Part 2 by Dorena
Movement and Stillness: Kathryn Rone
Kathryn Rone is a painter, so her subjects are frozen in time, but there’s a great deal of movement in her work. Maybe it’s her background as a yoga instructor, teaching healing movement… Whatever the reason, she’s looking for ways to balance stillness and motion in her work, and it’s amazing how kinetic a still image can be, in the right hands. Kathryn Rone joined us in studio to tell us more about her work.
Intro Music: Axel F by Harold Faltermeyer
Outro Music: Just Can't Get Enough by Depeche Mode
