Pacific Legends and Folklore with Kamuela Kaneshiro
<p>As May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, I'm pleased to introduce you to Kamuela Kaneshiro, who was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii and is host of the Legends from the Pacific podcast. </p>
<p>Legends from the Pacific utilises Kamu’s cultural knowledge, and television/film background to craft stories of people, beliefs, and traditions to help promote Pacific cultures. He is also a descendant of the Hawaiian Chief Ka'iana.</p>
<p>Kamu obtained a BA & MA in Communication from Hawaii Pacific University, studied at the University of Hertfordshire, and has appeared multiple times at San Diego Comic-Con as an invited professional panellist. He's lectured on film, television, and Batman, and wrote the “I Didn't Mean to” series, and “Genre Analysis: The Gangster, The Evolved Detective, and The Dark Knight”. He is also a magician member of the Magic Castle.</p>
<p>We get into some Hawaiian legend, meet Samoa's goddess of bats, and talk about how popular culture can and does meet a cultural need for gods - even when people don't realise that's what they're looking for!</p>
