OHA radio show on the road

By Lisa Asatū | Publicatiūns Editūr The Office of Hawaiian Affairs' radio show, Nā'Ōiwi 'Ōlino, made its Maui debut last month, and co-hosts Brickwood Galuteria

and Kimo Kaho'āno hit the road in style, broadcasting from the Grand Wailea Resort. "We're gazing across the ehannel and we're looking at Kaho'olawe," Galuteria said to an O'ahu audience during the morning drive time, as majestic Haleakalā shone in the sun. A string of prominent locals joined the Nov. 13-14 broadcast, including OHA Trustee Boyd Mossman, kahu Charles Maxwell, developer John DeFries, and

actor Branscombe Richmond and his wife, Lei Ma'a Richmond, an entertainer and fonner Miss Hawaii USA. Wrapping up the broadcast, live from the Maui Native Hawaiian Chamber of Commerce's first Business Fest, Kaho'āno recalled cultural specialist Akoni Akana's tagline from the previous day's show, "You gotta up your amps!" whieh had the hosts cracking up. "(Akana) said, that's my phrase, it's a Maui phrase, don't you steal that from me." The two-day broadcast was "over too soon," Kaho'āno told listeners. "There's so mueh to share." And Galuteria expressed hope of future road trips, telling the audience: "It's the first time we're on the road. We hope it's not the last time we're on the road because it's a wonderful opportunity for us to take the show here there and everywhere." Where might the show visit next? Stay tuned. Nā 'Ōiwi 'Ōlino ean be heard 7 to 9 a.m. weekdays on AM 940 or by live web streaming at www.am940hawaii.com. ^
