Soooo... some of the basic facts stated about the geography of the Hawaiian Islands areunbelievably wrong...such as Mauna Kea is 13,800 ft tall, vs the 9 thousand something stated...and Maui only has 1 active volcano, not two, and some other fact checking mishaps that I noticed, and find a little concerning! Otherwise, I thought the culture (great pronunciation, btw) was well portrayed, and the history wasn't white washed like I've often heard in other podcasts.
StephaXOXO
Love the show, but nearly every episode has glaring mispronunciations of common words. For a Grim & Mild production, I expect a better quality of care and editing. Aaron set a standard that isn't being followed.
