    Podcast should eliminate Brooke
    Would give the podcast 5 stars except that I don’t care for Brooke. She keeps interrupting the conversation during each podcast. It would be an awesome podcast with just Lanai and the interviewee. Please listen to those of us who have asked for her removal.
  • Leilani age 10
    Love it
    Best podcast ever if you haven’t watched it yet stop whatever you are doing and listen to it! (Please)
  • Geoprod
    Keep it up
    A good show that keeps getting better. Need to take the show on the road if possible. Great idea to have a parting Hawaii gift for the guest.
  • Park app always not working
    Brooke Lee and Lanai tabura should go on the road together. Hilarious and fun.
    Rise and we go grind

    Should be “All About Brook”
    Would probably be a good local podcast except all Brook does is steer the conversation to her and talk about her life. Why have guests if all you do is talk about yourself?
  • Nui's Momma
    This would an awesome podcast but...
    I love listening to this Podcast cause I get homesick. But Brook needs to be recast. She really adds nothing to the conversation except she was Ms America and lived on the mainland once or something. The vibe between Lanai and Brooke doesn’t really work well.

    Best podcast
    Lanai and Brooke! You guys are so awesome! Love listening and watching your podcasts!
  • Gal398
    Disorganized
    The female host is extremely annoying, she interrupts the guests and never goes back to letting them finish. The male host seems to be the only one asking the interview questions trying. I really wanted to love this podcast but the conversation is all over the place.
  • kndynt2099
    Love the podcast!
    I absolutely love this podcast! Great dynamic between Lanai and Brook and I'm always looking forward to each episode. Mahalo nui loa kakou!!!

    Great Hosts, Not So Great Editing
    Lanai and Brook are easy to listen to and play off each other very well. You can tell they have a nice friendship. They have some interesting guests and it’s a true talk story session as they jump around and oftentimes leave guests hanging. The guest will start a story, and Lanai will jump in with something and then they never go back to the guest to let them finish and move on to the next thing. The editing of the show really needs some work. In Maria’s episode right in the middle of talking to her, they jumped to Brickwood Galuteria out of nowhere where he started talking about some sort of kupuna thing. Was that also a commercial? They jump to commercials (which there are many in each episode) with no warning sometimes. It’s just a mish mash of the guests and a bunch of commercials. I get it, you need sponsors to pay the bills but I just think the overall flow of each episode needs to be better. This has huge potential and there are just a handful of episodes so far so I hope they keep working at it. If you are from Hawaii I think you’ll enjoy it.

    Fun Memories Of Hawaii
    Love the dynamic of guest with Lanai and Brook. Laugh out loud comedy with a touch Aloha. Easy listening and normally listen on my power hikes. Recommended. Keep it up.
