Have you ever been so late to a party it feels like the carriages have turned back into pumpkins, the horses back to mice and the dresses back to rags? I'm not comparing myself to Cinderella, especially since my size 11-wide feet would never fit in any glass slipper, but that's how I felt when I first asked the PBS Hawai`i Communications team about podcasts.

Thankfully, no one laughed, although I did hear someone snort. Instead, they welcomed me to the podcast party and encouraged me to stay awhile.

the introduction of portable digital audio playback devices in 2004 that podcasting really caught on.

On Friday, May 14, 2021, I asked our team, "How do we start a podcast?" Fast forward to August 11, 2021, when less than three months later PBS Hawai`i entered the podcast world with the first episode of What School You Went? This new weekly podcast explores the traditions and stories that make up the modern-day culture of Hawai`i. A special guest joins us each week to lend insight and share personal stories about a topic.

I decided to do my own research and the numbers blew me away. As of August 2021, there were more than 2,000,000 podcasts in the world and more than 48 million episodes. In the United States, 75% of the country is familiar with the term "podcasting" and 55% of the population or 155 million people have listened to a podcast, including 104 million who listen to podcasts every month.

"What school you went?" is one of those questions that shouts Hawai`i. You will laugh, learn and reminisce with us and you may even shed a tear. It's storytelling with a local twist and a ton of aloha. As the podcast trend continues to grow, PBS Hawai`i will grow with it. One thing is clear: people love to listen to each other talk, and according to my wife, I love to talk. Now if I can just find those glass slippahs!

Where have I been? Clearly, I wasn't one of them and I'm guessing, or at least hoping, neither were some of you. I knew the world was spinning faster than ever before and COVID-19 added to the madness, but when did the podcast format become so popular?

What School You Went? can be found on , as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Amazon Music and most major podcast distributors.

With Respect and Aloha,

Turns out, podcasting, previously known as "audio-blogging" dates back to the 1980s. It wasn't until

Music can transcend boundaries. Kuana Torres Kahele hopes Hawaiian songs, or mele, can spark something inside of listeners, no matter their culture. "I would hope that Hawaiian music would reach far enough to put a seed into the listener. And what that seed grows into can be a million things ... and you don't have to be Hawaiian to receive that," says Kahele.

The Hilo native is no stranger to our PBS Hawai`i `ohana. He's performed in a previous N Mele episode with the trio N Palapalai and in a holiday special. He continues to weave the past with the present, singing both traditional and original compositions.

Kahele says one of his biggest inspirations is nature. "We have to have this level of know-how to be able to see nature in a different way so that we can understand it and so that we can also listen to it, in a form or way. Because it's through that connection that we're able to write the Hawaiian text or Hawaiian poetry."

The multi N Hk Hanohano-award winner embraces his Native Hawaiian culture in every role he takes on. He's not only a singer, musician and songwriter, but also a kumu hula, lei maker and instructor and an artisan of Ni`ihau shell jewelry. When asked what else he wants to accomplish, Kahele says, "I haven't really thought about it much lately because all I set out to do when I was younger, I've done, and actually, I'm still doing it."
