Whether you live in our state or far from our shores, you’ll know what’s happening in Hawaiʻi with HPR's daily hour of locally focused discussions of public affairs, ideas, culture and the arts. Guests from across the islands and around the world provide perspectives on life in Hawaiʻi — and issues that have not yet reached Hawaiʻi.
The Conversation is hosted by Catherine Cruz and produced by Russell Subiono, Lillian Tsang, and Maddie Bender — with support from Savannah Harriman-Pote and Sophia McCullough.
