There’s a lot about Hawaii history most of us were never taught in school, but these stories continue to shape life in the islands and still matter today.
In this episode, Nolan Hong explores powerful, often-overlooked stories from across the islands. From the incarceration of local Japanese families during World War II, to forgotten moments of political corruption, to the everyday people preserving Hawaii’s values through art, food, and judo — this episode is about what it truly means to call Hawaii home.
Whether you grew up in Hawaiʻi, moved away, or simply love the islands, these stories reveal the deeper history and heart behind the places we know today.
