LEGOS!

Next Nancy Randal is the co-owner of a store that buys and sells LEGOs! She checks in to talk about this unique concept and why she and her female business partner are making history.

Former PHAF Producer, Brooke Peterson phones in from the east coast to reminisce about the week she joined the show in 2014. She can’t wait to get back and co-host the show again. Live from Honolulu, Chris Martin talks about getting wet on the show and becoming more of the man he is today because of his time in the studio. Phil also double-checks Chris’ relationship status, in case you wanted to know!

Ultimately this is a show of fun, comedy, great memories, information, and some tears. Thanks for coming along for the ride.

Ports O Call Elimination

We’re operating on borrowed time in Ports O Call Village. Moment-to-moment the threat is real that a Marshal will arrive to padlock our studio door to make way for demo teams to raise our classic Cape Code-style, bell-tower-enhanced building with historic radio broadcast studio included. That’s right, knock it to the ground to make way for a modern entertainment and shopping district. [20:18] Jayme Wilson is the proprietor of our building as well as Ports O’Call Waterfront Dining, a much beloved restaurant with a deep connection to the community.
