Technical Note: This episode was encoded at 128kbps for better sound quality (shows are usually encoded at 96kbps), in part because of the heavy musical content. This means the file was 39MB instead of 29MB. Did you notice a difference? Is the extra heft worth it? Please comment and let me know what you think.

A summer of family fun, computer classes, and a dead drive kept me pretty busy, but the break just might bring a second wind. Lots of news to cover, from Frank Fasi to Hurricane Daniel, from growing plants to shrinking home sales. Jen chimes in with a heaping spoonful of tube talk, and two songs from a new featured artist are sure to please. Provided I’ve remembered how to do this, enjoy!

Better late than never? HawaiiUP marks its first birthday with its first episode in two months. Lots of local news, some personal updates, and for the “Lost” fans out there, a day in the life of an accidental extra. I offer up a couple of beautiful slack key songs to battle back the dark skies and gray clouds that have hung over the islands for the past week, and Jen shares her latest TiVo treats.

A long weekend affords another chance to get in front of the mic. Lots of local news to cover, from Michelle Wie to surfing in schools. What percentage of people living in Hawaii do you think were born here? The number certainly surprised me. Two acoustic soloists are behind the music, one a student at my alma mater and the other an Aiea girl whose away for college. Jen joins us to follow-up on some movie talk from last year, now that we’ve finished all three of the “Trois Couleurs” films. The future of HawaiiUP is up to you — let me know what you’d like to hear! Thanks for listening, and have a great weekend.

The thick smoke and a winter cold play havoc with my voice, but the show must go on! The first show of 2006 once again brings local news, views, and music. Jen tells us about every concert she’s ever been to (don’t worry, it’s not a long list), and my featured artists range from a sensual rock-and-roller in Kailua to a pop rock band in Canada that adds a Hawaiian twist. As a special treat, listen as the latter band brushes up on its Hawaiian pronunciation. I close with talk of the future of HawaiiUP, and with thanks and warm wishes in the new year.
