To wrap up Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, In Depth takes a closer look at the Native Hawaiian diaspora in New York City. The media often solely depicts Hawaii as a beautiful paradise, but the islands and their people have more dimensions than that. Issues within the local economy have led many Native Hawaiians to depart the islands in recent decades, oftentimes against their desires. Today, about half of all Native Hawaiians live outside of Hawaii. For born-and-raised Hawaiians who’ve relocated to to NYC, how do they keep their culture alive in the diaspora? And for indigenous Hawaiians who have never lived on the islands, how do they grapple with “not feeling Hawaiian enough”? Guests: Barrie Kealoha, performer and voice-over artist, Kini Kahauolopua, Manhattan-based chef, and Dr. Jack Barile, Interim Director of the Social Science Research Institute at the University of Hawaii-Manoa. Host: Jill Webb Audio producer: Anddy Egan-Thorpe Executive producer: Femi Redwood

Are movies nowadays too long? Or are we just too distracted to stay invested? On this week’s In Depth, host Jill Webb talks with Gloria Mark, an informatics professor at the University of California Irvine, about what causes us to have shortened attention spans. We also hear from BoxOffice Pro’s Dan Loría about what’s coming out of the entertainment industry and if film studios plan to adapt to audiences’ lack of focus.

This week, Governor Kathy Hochul unveiled a $1.4 billion plan to build a brand new stadium for New York’s Buffalo Bills. However, nearly half of the cost - $600 million, to be exact - is expected to be covered by taxpayer dollars. Despite the price tag, Governor Hochul believes that the stadium will ultimately stimulate the economy. On this episode of 1010 WINS In Depth, we speak with people on both sides of the debate. First, we speak to sports economist Victor Matheson. In his own words, the plan, “it's the largest nominal amount of public subsidy ever for a stadium in the United States.” With the stadium set to be built in Erie, New York, we speak to the public official representing the county, Mark Poloncarz. He explains why everyone, especially locals in the tri-state area, should be excited for what’s to come.
