“I loved the Maunakea season and grew up partially in Marshall Islands so that season hit my heart. Living on mainland most of my life with a dad from the lost generation, I’m so excited to hear this season about Hawaiian diaspora. Thank you for recognizing us who long for home but for so many...”Read full review »

“My Mom (from Nanakuli) joined the navy and settled in NC where she and my Dad (a Black man) raised my sisters and I. I felt and connected to this season because I question what it means to be Hawaiian when you’re not raised on the islands nor look Hawaiian. I now live in CA now, and have visited...”Read full review »

“I downloaded this podcast wanting to learn more about the complexity of crime and culture in Hawaii. If you are interested in a discussion such as that, go somewhere else. While the host states that she does not want to take sides on the issues and instead provide a platform for discussion, her...”Read full review »

Diving deep into cultural and political tensions and highlighting the lives and stories of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders is something the Offshore team continues to do expertly. Thank you for your dedication to this...”Read full review »

“This podcast gives a great look into a side of Hawaii that most of us never get to see, and draws a lot of good attention to major contemporary issues in America such as racial justice and the rights of indigenous people. It's very thought provoking, and presents all sides in a fair and...”Read full review »

“Good stories and reporting, but difficult for me to listen to podcasts. After the first two, I found the trailing voice, elongating the last word of each sentence, to be extremely irritating, so stopped listening. Tried again but still the same. It is just me.”

“Please learn how to say HONOLULU... it is not Hanalulu, it is HONOLULU. Yes you are Malahini, but it is not okay to come here as a broadcaster and not bother to learn how to say Hawaiian words corrected.”

The first two series gave a full perspective of the depth and richness of Hawai’ian culture and history. And The Blood Calls was equal parts informative...”Read full review »

“Whether you're living in Hawaii, traveled there, or are preparing to go for the first time, the Offshore podcast from Jessica Terrell and the people at PRX/Civil Beat/HPR/Etc. provides an excellent vehicle to getting into the nuance that is Hawaii. I work with an organization that regularly...”Read full review »

“This is the way stories need to be told, not in sound bites but in thoughtful long form narratives. There are always two sides and more information that we can know before we judge an event or person. Keep it up.”
