About this podcast

Kūkā Kīkī is a queer(ed) Kanaka podcast of deep talk and quick thinking. Its inaugural season features contributors from "No ka Pono o ka Māhūi," the forthcoming special issue of Hūlili, dedicated to Kanaka articulations of sex, gender, intimacy, and erotics (Kamehameha Publishing, launch: early 2026). Beginning in Honolulu Pride month and culminating on Lā Kūʻokoʻa, these conversations honor the māhūi’s past, present, and future—unlearning colonial harm, relearning ancestral pilina, and moving together toward ea—collective life, breath, and liberation.
