This week, we’re on Island Time, because Justin has written six trivia questions all about Hawaii! We also talk about Oscar-winning movies, classic literature, and an absolutely, utterly insane sport.
1:47: Q1 (Times & Places): What decade saw both the overthrow of Hawaii’s last monarch, Queen Lili’uokalani, and the annexation of Hawaii by the United States as an organized, incorporated territory?
7:22: Q2 (Music): What Hawaiian musician, whose popularity peaked in the 1960s, is best known for the song “Tiny Bubbles”?
15:42: Q3 (Everything Else): Identify the volcano goddess of traditional Hawaiian religion, whose name differs by a single diacritical mark from the nickname of one of the greatest soccer players in history.
23:39: Q4 (Movies & TV): What 1954 Best Picture winner, based on a novel by James Jones, tells the tragic stories of three soldiers stationed in Hawaii in the lead-up to the attack on Pearl Harbor?
29:25: Q5 (Arts & Literature): What author set his short story “Koolau the Leper” in a Hawaiian leper colony, though he is probably better known for a couple of novels about dogs?
35:00: Q6 (Sports & Games): What grueling long-distance race has held its “World Championship” in Hawaii since 1978, and, despite its name, has nothing to do with a popular Marvel character?
