FEAR THE OLD BLOOD. you're in the know right?
Ian Goode
Let's be real here, the only reason that they dont want the US to fully claim Samoa is because they are poor and without all of their odd laws in place rich people will inevitably begin to exploit their beachy islands. Hawaii is the example that they look towards of what to avoid and the only thing holding it back is a messed up blood right property law. Good for them honestly, they have found a way to preserve their island and try to keep the profits of the island from everyone else
Vince Chen
fascinating report. a small community is bound to be diluted when merged with a larger one. it is true that today Hawaii has completely lost its heritage. And it was the trade-off they made.

Rebecca Boyd
wait... where is part one and two?
Sean McElroy
It this what it's like in the city? Everyone in this story, with the possible exception of the narrator's mother, is massively obnoxious.
Laxmi Woodham
How tender and heartbreaking. It causes wonder at the unknown lives that have crossed paths and may share intimacies beyond comprehension. That young woman, whoever she may be, has at least one more stranger rooting for her.
Mae Lee Arant
I understand that Nancy became intrusive in her stance rather than educational and encouraging in her animal rights stance but I also tire of media ( you radiolab) being superior in how you label vegetarians as self righteous and militant. Like it or not, animal cruelty is a huge problem in this world of factory farming and the truth is, most have chosen to ignore the issues animal cruelty, environmental destruction and the very real and legitimate moral question of eating meat because ribs and burgers because they taste good. We must take ownership of our choices and have reasonable conversation about these issues without the dismissive attacks against vegetarians by simply labeling them as self righteous; the truth is that they are irritating because they are right.
Ryan Persaud
I love episodes that start off as some quirky human interest story but have a much bigger issue in mind. This was really great and I think, quite compassionate.
Heather Boylen
I have lots of friends and no trauma I want to hide. I just like the way drugs make me feel. I use buprenorphine now. I appreciated this episode.
Christoffer Enfors
problem is lack of EQ and sexually retarded men..
Wendy Bruder
it's so ~wonderful~ when people move to a new place and immediately start complaining about the place and trying to change it to suit THEIR needs. Not surprised she is vegan too.
Ryan Persaud
Wendy Bruder If nobody questioned anything on the basis of tradition, nothing would ever change. Not that I believe cowbells should be banned, but damn we need a bit of nuance
Laxmi Woodham
Late listener to this podcast/show, but, wow! Thank you Radiolab for all that I am learning. Incredible stuff!
Andrea Addington
Laxmi Woodham Love this show too! a valuable source of inspiration.
Adam Mansour
a bit weird to have a second re upload in such a short time, but i still really enjoyed the episode
Mark Loewen
it

Really takes an ideological turn at the end.
Holly Noel
Spoiler alert: Crystals do not heal cancer.
nono
Holly Noel Trust her, she's an "animal rights activist."
Wendy Bruder
this is all very disturbing to me. there are too many people on this planet without brokering reproductive products like this. it's disgusting how much money is involved in bringing new humans into the world when there are SO many suffering and starving to death already. it's completely unethical.
Lauren R
William besinski is the composer who does the music tape loops, in case anyone else was looking for him. shame they didn't put him in the notes.
Mariann Offtermatt
The discussion of picking up dog waste puzzles me. When folks walk their pups, pick up after them and then place the bags on the ground or elsewhere where are all these bags? Does anyone see them piling up anywhere? I've never had the experience of seeing the same bags day after day. Typically, I see them dropped at the edge of sidewalks and lawns but then gone by the next day. I used to drop mine on the path where walking and pick them up on the way back. Mostly because I had two dogs and needed two hands free. Plus, they smell awful. Now I have a little pup pouch (gifted to me by my friend Paul;) so I can cart them with me till we get home to discard.
