Pilina Podcast
Pilina is a Hawai‘i-based podcast dedicated to celebrating the deep and meaningful connections that define who we are — to our culture, our ʻohana, and our communities. Through rich, heart-centered conversations with local voices, Pilina shares stories that inspire, educate, and uplift. The word pilina speaks to the bonds that tie us together. Whether generational, cultural, or communal, these connections are at the core of every episode. This podcast exists to document and preserve Hawai‘i’s living narratives while offering a space to reflect on the values that guide us: aloha, kuleana, kulana, and moʻokūʻauhau. A huge Mahalo to our Sponsors Power for the People & Aloha Mortuary! Without their support this would not be possible!
