Yay! We did it!

Was a bit stressful, but with the help of a whole lot of people, the first Policy + Politics video/podcast is now one for the history books.

Here it is on YouTube – please check it out, “like” and “share” also if you believe it’s worthy. https://www.youtube.com/@PolicyandPoliticsHI

In addition to YouTube, in the future we will be streaming the program also on other social media venues.

The feedback so far has been universally positive, and additional input from anyone and everyone is welcome and greatly appreciated.

A special thanks goes out to my co-host Aria Juliet Castillo. Without Aria’s support, encouragement, and technical expertise – this wouldn’t have happened.

Mahalo also to Mishka who was/is, the “behind the scenes guy” making things work seamlessly while Aria and I talk story with our special guests.

Carrie Ann Shirota, Policy Director at the ACLU of Hawaiʻi and Representative Amy Perruso, Majority Whip in the Hawaiʻi State House of Representatives – brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the conversation. Mahalo to you both!

Please join us on May 5th at 5pm for the next Policy + Politics video/podcast that will focus on the craziness that is now occurring at the federal level, the expected near-term impacts on Hawaii, and a bit on the over-all national and international scene.

As a special guest, we’ve confirmed Salmah Rizvi, executive director of ACLU – Hawaii – who will fill us in on the latest developments. We also hope to have other guests who are actively engaged in the ongoing battles – both on the ground and in the halls of government.

Mahalo to all who helped “like” our page Policy + Politics on FaceBook and we continue to work toward streaming there as well as possibly @bluesky and other platforms.

Please – watch, “like” and share our first inaugural show on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@PolicyandPoliticsHI

Mahalo,
Gary Hooser
