Aloha nui, For seven years, our team has been after the two of us to do one seemingly simple thing: sit down, press record, and just talk. We finally did. This is a first. Your chance to pull up a chair and listen in on one of our long, winding, lose-track-of-time conversations. Nerdy stuff. About deer. About Hawai'i. About the rabbit holes we disappear into at the dinner table. We start where every Hawai'i story has to start—with Hawai'i itself, the most isolated island chain on the planet. And then we trace Axis deer from a herd floated down the Ganges in 1867 all the way to the first sharpshooter cull of 1898 on Moloka'i. Along the way: guano dealers, opium smugglers, sweet potato farmers stabbed by deer, oh my! And, for good measure, we also tackle the century-and-a-half-old “gift” myth. |
