Show number thirteen kicks off the long Memorial Day weekend. Featured music includes a Hawaiian band in California, and a local artist who’s returned to the islands.

Episode eleven brings some cool podcasting news, some R&B from an island “Idol,” talk of military bases and mass transit, Jen tackles toons, and I review the answers to last show’s quiz. Congratulations to Mel, our winner! Be forewarned, this show goes long — very long — and the last ten minutes are nearly incoherent. If only I had a guy in a control booth to make frantic “cut” signals at me. Stick around, though, if you want to know more than anyone needs to know about my convoluted political outlook.

Episode ten carries HawaiiUP across an arbitrary but satisfying milestone. I celebrate with a little contest, but only after blowing the festive mood with a long, indulgent rant about a local car dealer. I make up for it, though, with a song Jen picked out just for you, and with a tour through an “only in Hawaii” festival in Waikiki.
