    5 stars!
    This podcast combines excellent research, synthesis, and production to create accessible cultural education. Kamuela Kaneshiro’s expert narration provides the listener with concise, yet profound views into our Pacific Rim heritage. The subtextual inclusivity supports listeners in finding connection that is so valuable in our often disparate “modern” society. Highly recommend!!!

    So interesting!
    I love this podcast because it’s all stories and information I have no experience with! Seems like some historical, but maybe more like folklore from the Pacific islands. Love the narrator and the writing! Give it a try!

    Lovely Podcast!
    I love this podcast. It contains lots of stories that I’m familiar with but also lots that are new to me. Episodes are also short enough for me to be able to listen to this and other things.

    New favorite podcast - awesome and highly recommended
    Found when searching Sun WuKong. Well written, researched and narrated. Love that it includes all Pacific cultures and the new Hawaiian word every episode. I listen to other mythology podcasts but they are mostly Eurocentric. Thoroughly enjoying and listening as I work and on breaks. Mahalo Kamuela!

    Words
    I really love my cultures stories, so its always exciting when I find new ones, but I just couldn’t get down with the pronunciation, especially from a Hawaiian.
  • Sandr@01
    Love the short stories
    Really good short stories. But I am not feeling the pronunciation of Hawaiian words. Also, why did you say Duke was a drop out. He actually graduated from McKinley.

    Great Stories
    I love Kamuela’s sense of humor in his episodes. I have always loved fairy tales and folk stories and love the chance to learn more about Pacific cultures. Being born in Hawaii has left an impression on me, and these stories help me feel connected to a place I hope to see again some day.

    Excellent stories
    This podcast is great for many supernatural and mythological information throughout and around the pacific... Episodes need to be much longer and have more facts and information on each of the legends... Story writing is excellent though

    What a mood
    This series somehow captures the cool sensation I’d get listening to kaidan ghost stories during summer camps in Japan as a kid. It really is like listening to a summer breeze. Plus my cat Ender got a mention! Nice 😎

    Spooky fun!
    Having a ton of fun learning about Hawaiian folklore and legends. The narrator peppers in some spooky stories which I love and each episode includes a Hawaiian word and song. I had the good luck of starting the this podcast on a rainy day and it made the whole experience perfect. A definite must try for lovers of myths, legends and ghost stories!
