Listen "Episode 19: Olaa Bakery Part 2"
Episode Synopsis
In Part 2 of the Olaʻa Bakery story, Aunty Piilani serves up more history and hilarity. She recalls how the Shipman family’s influence helped change Olaʻa’s name to Keaʻau. Then, legend or fact? From Mr. Sonoda, she shares how the Hilo Macaroni Company got its famous saloon pilot cracker recipe and how those cracker tins found new life as kulolo pans. There’s also a laugh-out-loud moment when childhood Kye breaks a bad mood with an embarrassing confession, memories of hippies flocking for her bread pudding, and one unintentional but very audible guest star: Kady the dog, who pants through the whole episode. E kala mai, listeners!
