Kauai Podcast #32: The Battle With GMO Companies and Pesticide Spraying on Kauai

The Battle With GMO Companies on Kauai

This episode is a deviation from the fun, vacation style of show I normally like to bring you, because we need to tackle a very serious subject. This month we tackle the problem of GMO companies, which are using Kauai as a testing ground for new products and spraying tons of very dangerous chemicals on the island. I always preach the importance of respecting Hawaii, yet these companies are disrespecting both the people of Kauai and the land of Kauai on a massive scale. They poison them both without concern, all the while hiding smugly behind data which they control and laws which they help mold. Today we will swan dive into this issue with no holding back!

In this episode we are are going to discuss:
The problem and legal battle between the GMO companies and the people of Kauai.

The corruption of GMO company money in politics, and our university system.

The attempts of GMO companies to block information regarding the harmful effects of their chemicals.

My investigation into the companies, which makes a solid case that one of them may very well own a major portion of the responsibility for the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Kauai Podcast #31: Kauai With Kids

Kauai With Kids

I’ve had a lot of people ask me to do a show about visiting Kauai with children, but frankly didn’t know the best way to put a good show together that would be informative for parents while being entertaining for everyone... until now. This month we talk with Alex, a listener of the show who just returned from his first ever trip to Kauai, about Kauai as a vacation destination with children. We talk about many kid friendly activities, as well things to be cautious of, and things to outright avoid while vacationing on Kauai. In addition to that we discuss accommodations on both the north and south shores, and the virtues of spending a few days camping while on your trip.

The Show is Back on Hiatus

After last months show, I have had many people ask me if I was still planning on moving to Kauai and still planning on doing the podcast. The answer to whether or not I still plan on moving to Kauai is a resounding “YES!”. As for the show, it will be put on hold for a while due to issues completely unrelated to anything covered in last months show. It this episode today, we talk about my reasons for putting the show on hiatus.
