In the South, food and music go hand in hand. They define much of what we think of as Southern culture, and they say a lot about our past, our present, and our future. Each week, Sid Evans, Editor in Chief of Southern Living, sits down with musicians, chefs, and other Southern icons to hear the stories of how they grew up, what inspires them, and why they feel connected to the region. Through honest conversations, Sid explores childhood memories, the family meals they still think about, and the intersection of food and music in their lives. Always surprising, always engaging, Biscuits & Jam is a celebration of the South—and the people who are moving it forward every day. New episodes every Tuesday.

Description: After having transferred from Canada to Hawaii, playing for the University’s Water Polo team for three seasons, competing in many international competitions — including the 2020 Olympics — Elyse Lemay-Lavoie still isn’t quite ready to hang up her jersey. At 27, Elyse will be graduating from the University with a degree in Women’s, Gender and Sexuality studies.

I had the opportunity to hear Elyse talk about her experiences and about her future plans for the next chapter in her life.…
While many athletes from all around the country come to Hawaii to compete for the University, not many of them come from such a remote and isolated location as Utqiagvik, Alaska. However, that’s exactly where rising UH Basketball star Kamaka Hepa is from. And while he certainly still calls Alaska his home, the transition to Hawaii certainly means a lot to him, having familial ties not only to Alaska, but to here in Hawaii as well. I had the pleasure to sit down with Kamaka to talk a little bit about his ancestral heritage, what basketball means to him, his time here at the University, and about his plans for the near future.…

From living in New York, to pursuing a cultural anthropology degree, to working as a lawyer, to becoming a massage therapist, and even playing as a professional beach volleyball player after college, Evan’s been through many twists and turns that made even his friends and family go dizzy. I had a chance to sit down and talk with Evan in order to better understand how he even got to the position he is in today.…

Guest: James Koshiba In 2015, frustrated by the explosion of homelessness in Hawaii, and dwindling compassion for those on the street, James pitched a tent in a large urban encampment and forged relationships with people experiencing homelessness. He later became a supporter and student of Puuhonua O Waianae, a self-organized village of more than 250 people living unhoused at the Waianae Boat Harbor. Through these relationships, he began to understand homelessness as a problem of severed connections with family and community. He co-founded Hui Aloha, to demonstrate how re-building community with those who are marginalized is key to solving some of our most persistent social problems, including homelessness. Today, Hui Aloha partners with people on the street to launch service projects in their communities, reconnecting them with housed neighbors, and help both housed and unhoused people find healing and purpose together. HA is now working to build affordable homes for those who cannot afford housing in Hawaii, which has the largest gap between housing costs and wages of any state in the nation. Prior to Hui Aloha, James co-founded and was Executive Director of Kanu Hawaii, which worked to build movement for sustainability. He was born and raised on Oahu, Hawaii and spent several years on the continent earning degrees from Brown University and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.
