Mahalo and welcome!

We would like to extend a sincere thanks to all who have contributed to our End of Year Fund Drive. During our on-air campaign last week, we made the tough decision to suspend almost half of our HPR-1 pledge hours in order to air special coverage of the House Judiciary hearings. Despite an abbreviated pitch schedule, we heard from more than 475 contributors, about 150 of whom joined as new members. We are so grateful for your support and look forward to bringing you more unbiased news coverage, thoughtful conversation, and expertly curated music in 2020.

If you haven't yet made an end-of-year contribution, time is running out!
