Hosts Kimo Kahō'ano and Brickwood Galuteria brought pots of coffee and Nā 'Ōiwi 'Ōlino radio show microphones to the Naniloa Volcanoes Resort on the shores of Hilo Bay, where they welcomed guests for three days on April 2, 3 and 4 during the Merrie Monarch festivities.
Nā 'Ōiwi 'Ōlino, the radio show of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, visited Hilo for its second live remote broadcast in just over one year of shows. The show broadcast live from Maui in November.
