S2E6 -- If it’s November . . . Postcards from Kona

COVID changes a lot of plans.  This episode was going to be a conversation with Dave and Sheryl Cobb to preview the Ultraman World Championships race.  Still we had a great conversation about previous races and they shared how they came to be the caretakers of Aloha, Ohana, Kokua on the big island.

Keeping with the Kona theme, I also speak with the 19 time participant, Gary Wang.  In fact, although he lives in California, he did our Zoom from Hawaii.

Steve King Stories features one of my previous guests, Petr Vabroušek--holder of the record for the fastest 515.
