Catch the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai'i on air!  Monday evenings on Japanese Language radio station KZOO-AM 1210, the Cultural Center presents an issues-oriented weekly talk-story community forum called Thinking Out Loud: Talking Issues, Taking Action (TOL) hosted by George Tanabe, Christine Yano, Willa Tanabe, Warren Nishimoto, and Michiko Kodama-Nishimoto. 

TOL will explore issues of concern to the Japanese American and broader community in Hawai'i.  The show's format encourages listeners to call-in with questions and comments, and the latter portion of every show is Thinking Up the Positive, devoted to brainstorming possible solutions to problems, issues, and concerns. 

On the last Monday of every month, TOL features the JCCH Book Club - host Willa Tanabe will lead a lively discussion with a special guest and the audience on the book of the month. 

So tune in, call in, and start thinking out loud!  Mondays at 6.30 p.m. on KZOO-AM 1210.  Call in your questions or comments live during the program at (808) 941-5966 or email anytime at jcch@am1210kzoo.com. Follow us on the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai`i's Facebook page and ask your questions there, before or during the show.

TOL sponsors include: Hawai'i Council for the Humanities, University of Hawai'i Center for Japanese Studies, University of Hawai'i College of Social Sciences, and Barnes & Noble.
