Civil Beat reporters Anita Hofschneider and Nathan Eagle join Pod Squad host Chad Blair to talk about the battle over proposed regulations that Uber says would put it out of business in Hawaii and that taxi companies support as evening the playing field.
Hofschneider and Eagle also take the opportunity to educate Blair on just how catching rides with the newfangled ride-hailing companies works.
