Listener Comments

Several Crossing East segments have aired on NPR’s ‘Day to Day’ program.  Here are comments from listeners hearing those segments: 

Paul Maresh
I really enjoyed your show yesterday about Hawaiians on the Pacific N.W. Coast.  I think it was very well done.

I just listened to the Pidgin English of Hawaii and I was laughing so hard I was crying it was such a great piece!  I’m from Hawaii, 3rd generation and I grew up hearing “eh, you no tawk lie dat, bum bye people tink you lolo” or “Don’t speak like that, people will think you are stupid.”  Thank you so very much for a wonderful piece.  I promptly purchased Lee Tonouchi’s book and can’t wait to read it.  Mahalo Nui Loa from a tita!

Thank you for sending to me the Doc Hay program tape and for notifying me of its airing time and date.  You did a very good job and it was interesting.

I listened to the segment and really found it fascinating and wanted to learn more.  These stories need to be preserved, told, and heard – they are a part of this country’s history that isn’t fully appreciated.

Thank you for giving a voice to the Asian American Community with your program, especially South East Asians who don’t have a big voice in America, that have been ignore for many years because they weren’t involve in politics or have a strong voice in the political agenda’s [sic].  I hope you continue to support the great cause that your program will air.  I will continue to follow up and support the program.
