Civil Beat is teaming up with PRX, a national developer and distributer of audio programming, to create a new Hawaii-centered program expected to launch in the fall.
Ben Adair, a nationally known podcaster and producer from Los Angeles whose work includes the ongoing series, “First Time Last Time,” has signed on to be executive producer of the show. He was in Honolulu recently so we took advantage of his visit to talk with Pod Squad host Chad Blair about the project.
Also joining the discussion: Civil Beat Editor Patti Epler and reporter Jessica Terrell.
