MAUI NUI SEABIRDS: MAUKA TO MAKAI
At the Maui Nui Seabird Recovery Project, we work to protect and enhance seabird populations and habitats across Maui Nui. Since we have so many good stories to tell about it, we started a podcast. With a focus on the conservation of biocultural resources, we'll try to cover everything from the mountains to the sea, just like nā manu kai -- the seabirds of Maui Nui. Mahalo for listening.

COMMON SENSE HISTORY
History can give us clear answers to specific questions we have today, if we would only look. From the Roman Republic to the Viking expansion to the Irish Famine and more, join historian John Leazer as he sets off on an enjoyable trek through our colorful past to search for common sense insights to modern day problems.
MYTHILLOGICAL
Mythillogical is the podcast where two enthusiasts of mythology, history and folklore try and make sense of the wide variety of fantastic tales told by cultures around the world. We discuss why the same idea can show up in the mythology of cultures on opposite sides of the world, what real events can inspire superstition and folklore, how stories can completely change over time, and where possible try to figure out what could have inspired people to dream up dragons, demons, gods and monsters. May contain wild speculation, terrible puns, and if we’re lucky, actual facts.
NILE CRUISE THEN & NOW
Egyptologist Chris Naunton and Historian Kate Sheppard take you on a historical journey up and down the Nile, through Egypt and through time. As we cruise through Egypt, from Alexandria to Luxor, you will hear about how people used to live in and travel through Egypt over the last 4000 years. Join us!
THE FINEST CITY
Every city has a story, and this one is about San Diego. You might know it as paradise of ocean and sunshine, but as the most biodiverse region in the country and one half of the second largest bi-national metropolis in North America, it is also a battleground. We’re talking with the creatives, environmentalists, and social justice warriors who’ve been on the frontline fighting for progressive planning in this uniquely special city. We will also be exploring the history of land use activism in San Diego starting with the founding of Citizens Coordinate for Century 3 sixty years ago. If you love history, cities, and design, you won’t want to miss The Finest City.
HISTORY UNZIPPED
Historian and journalist Tony Perrottet unearths sexual stories from throughout the ages. The series is modeled on the "secret cabinets" in Victorian museums, where medieval chastity belts, Renaissance pornography and perverse novels by the Marquis de Sade were hidden. Each episode will answer a burning question: How did Napoleon's penis end up in suburban New Jersey? Are champagne glasses modeled on Marie-Antoinette's breasts? How did you behave at one of Caligula's orgies? And what were Casanova's best pick-up lines?
