September 7th 2025 - Pele’s Fire: Eruptions, Aloha, and the Spirit of the Islands

In this fiery edition of Little Grass Shack, Island Emery takes listeners to Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, home of Pele, the goddess of fire. Against the backdrop of Kīlauea’s latest eruption—lava fountains soaring 100 feet high—Emery blends history, culture, and natural wonder, sharing how volcanic forces shape the land, enrich Kona coffee, and inspire Hawaiian traditions. Between island hits and heartfelt reflections, the episode features “WTF” eruption facts, a “Destination Paradise” look at Halemaʻumaʻu Crater, and a positive note reminding us to embrace change like the islands themselves—turning life’s eruptions into opportunities for growth.
