"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

There are only 92 episodes, but the stories that Longworth digs up from the “secret and/or forgotten histories of Hollywood’s first century” are like the movies her subjects starred in — full of passion, heartbreak, tragedy, and unforgettable characters. The tales of Rita Hayworth, Joan Crawford and Spencer Tracy are known to many, but when told with Longworth’s snarky-yet-empathetic spin, they are given new life, and are more palatable to someone with today’s social sensibilities. And if the subject seems unappealing, know that one doesn’t have to be a fan of black-and-white movies from the ’40s and ’50s to enjoy Longworth’s detailing of the career-destroying Hollywood Blacklist or the brutal Manson Family murders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I spoke with Longworth last week so I could have her answer the dozens of questions burning a hole in my brain since I began listening to her show, knowing that she was going to be holed away working on a book for the next several months. Longworth proved to be a fun and patient subject — she obviously understands that few people know as much about classical Hollywood as her — and it was hard to stop asking questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Interview edited for clarity and length.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Were you always a fan of classical Hollywood?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t remember a time when I wasn’t into old movies. They were primarily what I watched as a kid because my parents weren’t really interested in new movies and didn’t take me to see them and were pretty strict about what I was allowed to see in terms of new movies. There were a couple of new movies that filtered into me, like I saw \u003ci>Ghostbusters\u003c/i> and \u003ci>Back to the Future,\u003c/i> but that’s kind of it. It was pretty much just old Disney movies; we had the Disney channel and the thing about the Disney channel is that they would show old animated movies and old live action movies but then at night they would have — I’m sure it wasn’t called “Disney Channel after dark” but that’s my memory of it — and they’d show Cary Grant movies and Jimmy Stewart movies, and it was supposed to be for adults, but I would watch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You’ve said you heard the podcast in your head before you made it. Did any other shows inspire you to make a podcast?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was listening to a lot of podcasts but there wasn’t anything that I heard that sounded like what I had in my head. In fact, I wasn’t sure anybody would want to listen to what I had in my head, but I knew that in order to explain to people what it was in my head, I would have to make it, because there wasn’t anything I could point to as an example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12064153\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12064153\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/London400tmax152-800x476.jpg\" alt=\"How Longworth records her podcast\" width=\"800\" height=\"476\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/London400tmax152-800x476.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/London400tmax152-400x238.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/London400tmax152-768x457.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/London400tmax152-960x571.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/London400tmax152.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">How Longworth records her podcast \u003ccite>(Photo: Meghann Lee)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>How did you come up with your introduction phrase, “Join us, won’t you?”\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s just one of those things I heard in my head. It was actually one of the important aspects of the show I heard in my head. I wanted the show to feel like something spooky that you would hear late at night on a drive through the middle of nowhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Are there subjects you enjoy more than others?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because it’s a lot of work to make the podcast, I try not to even choose to make an episode about a topic I’m not interested in. But within that, certainly there are movies I enjoy watching more than other movies. I think you can tell by the topics I’ve worked on; I’ve definitely talked about more women than men, and there are certain genres that I haven’t gotten into that much. Some of that is just that there’s a lot to do and I haven’t done it all yet. I don’t talk about Westerns all that often because I’m not that knowledgeable about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On some level the show is about having an excuse to learn about things that I’ve always wanted to learn about but haven’t yet. But on another level, I have to know a little bit about a subject to even go into making a podcast episode about it because if I start from scratch, it’s just too hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>The subjects you cover on the podcast were reported on by both serious journalists and tabloid reporters. How do you balance all the information you come across and make sure it’s factual?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t believe anything I read, really. History is all written from a point of view and I see it all as just stories, whether it’s proven to be true or not; it’s all just a tapestry of public ideas. I take everything with a grain of salt, but there are certain stories that get repeated many, many times and the original source is the \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> — those events certainly happened. Then there are other events that are only one or two sources and their reports about it conflict, and those are more interesting to me; a lot of the show is about conflicting details and why somebody would’ve said that something happened this way while someone else said it happened another way. On one level the show is less a work of history and more of a work of historiography because it’s about the way stories are told than the stories themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"aligncenter noborder\">\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNdmGqLMqE4\n\u003cp class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u003ci>This is footage from the first televised Oscars ceremony in 1953 of Gloria Grahame winning the award for Best Supporting Actress. In her episode about Grahame, Longworth reports that what wasn’t aired was Grahame tripping while walking up the stairs and blurting “Oh shit!” when she fell, which became scandal worthy of constant coverage in the tabloids.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Do you ever feel the need to use your podcast to correct history?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wouldn’t say “correct” because I don’t know what really happened in any of these cases. The tagline for the show is that it is about the secret and forgotten histories, and for me a lot of the secret history stuff is about looking at these events from the perspective of today, from a female perspective — especially on stories from the 1940s and ’50s. The default voice of American popular culture was from powerful white males. So if you were living a life that didn’t necessarily fit perfectly with the expectations of that default voice, then your story was either skewed or wasn’t told completely. I think coming at it from my perspective, that of a woman who was born near the end of the 20th century and living in the time that we’re in now, I’m able to see things from a different angle and tell a different version of the history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Do you ever feel like you would fit better in the times that you cover, the ’40s or ’50s? Like you were meant to live in the past?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, I don’t want to time travel or feel like I was born in the wrong time or anything. I would say that I grew up during a time in which it was so much more normal to be interested in movies than it is now. Now it’s almost a specialty to follow anything but Marvel movies, but that’s just times changing and me getting older. I’m never going to watch YouTube content — that’s just not something I’m going to be into — but that doesn’t necessarily mean I’m going to be cosplaying the ’60s or whatever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12064160\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12064160\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-600x600.jpg\" alt=\"The podcast's logo\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-600x600.jpg 600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-400x400.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-768x768.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-1180x1180.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-1920x1920.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-960x960.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-32x32.jpg 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-50x50.jpg 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-64x64.jpg 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-96x96.jpg 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-128x128.jpg 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The podcast’s logo\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So if I met you in person, you wouldn’t be rocking a bee hive and wearing knee-high white leather boots?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, but I did just buy a car from 1987.

I realized that I could get one for less than what I spent on my car lease, so if it lasted these three years, then I’d break even. But then it turned out to be really hard to find one that was in good shape. It was a two-month search and I finally found one; it’s having its air conditioning fixed and I’m going to pick it up tomorrow. So, I guess I will be cosplaying 1987. [Laughs]\u003c/p>\n\n",

There are only 92 episodes, but the stories that Longworth digs up from the “secret and/or forgotten histories of Hollywood’s first century” are like the movies her subjects starred in — full of passion, heartbreak, tragedy, and unforgettable characters. The tales of Rita Hayworth, Joan Crawford and Spencer Tracy are known to many, but when told with Longworth’s snarky-yet-empathetic spin, they are given new life, and are more palatable to someone with today’s social sensibilities. And if the subject seems unappealing, know that one doesn’t have to be a fan of black-and-white movies from the ’40s and ’50s to enjoy Longworth’s detailing of the career-destroying Hollywood Blacklist or the brutal Manson Family murders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I spoke with Longworth last week so I could have her answer the dozens of questions burning a hole in my brain since I began listening to her show, knowing that she was going to be holed away working on a book for the next several months. Longworth proved to be a fun and patient subject — she obviously understands that few people know as much about classical Hollywood as her — and it was hard to stop asking questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Interview edited for clarity and length.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Were you always a fan of classical Hollywood?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They were primarily what I watched as a kid because my parents weren’t really interested in new movies and didn’t take me to see them and were pretty strict about what I was allowed to see in terms of new movies. There were a couple of new movies that filtered into me, like I saw \u003ci>Ghostbusters\u003c/i> and \u003ci>Back to the Future,\u003c/i> but that’s kind of it. It was pretty much just old Disney movies; we had the Disney channel and the thing about the Disney channel is that they would show old animated movies and old live action movies but then at night they would have — I’m sure it wasn’t called “Disney Channel after dark” but that’s my memory of it — and they’d show Cary Grant movies and Jimmy Stewart movies, and it was supposed to be for adults, but I would watch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You’ve said you heard the podcast in your head before you made it. Did any other shows inspire you to make a podcast?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was listening to a lot of podcasts but there wasn’t anything that I heard that sounded like what I had in my head. In fact, I wasn’t sure anybody would want to listen to what I had in my head, but I knew that in order to explain to people what it was in my head, I would have to make it, because there wasn’t anything I could point to as an example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12064153\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12064153\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/London400tmax152-800x476.jpg\" alt=\"How Longworth records her podcast\" width=\"800\" height=\"476\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/London400tmax152-800x476.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/London400tmax152-400x238.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/London400tmax152-768x457.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/London400tmax152-960x571.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/London400tmax152.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">How Longworth records her podcast \u003ccite>(Photo: Meghann Lee)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>How did you come up with your introduction phrase, “Join us, won’t you?”\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s just one of those things I heard in my head. It was actually one of the important aspects of the show I heard in my head. I wanted the show to feel like something spooky that you would hear late at night on a drive through the middle of nowhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Are there subjects you enjoy more than others?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because it’s a lot of work to make the podcast, I try not to even choose to make an episode about a topic I’m not interested in. But within that, certainly there are movies I enjoy watching more than other movies. I think you can tell by the topics I’ve worked on; I’ve definitely talked about more women than men, and there are certain genres that I haven’t gotten into that much. Some of that is just that there’s a lot to do and I haven’t done it all yet. I don’t talk about Westerns all that often because I’m not that knowledgeable about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On some level the show is about having an excuse to learn about things that I’ve always wanted to learn about but haven’t yet. But on another level, I have to know a little bit about a subject to even go into making a podcast episode about it because if I start from scratch, it’s just too hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>The subjects you cover on the podcast were reported on by both serious journalists and tabloid reporters. How do you balance all the information you come across and make sure it’s factual?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t believe anything I read, really. History is all written from a point of view and I see it all as just stories, whether it’s proven to be true or not; it’s all just a tapestry of public ideas. I take everything with a grain of salt, but there are certain stories that get repeated many, many times and the original source is the \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> — those events certainly happened. Then there are other events that are only one or two sources and their reports about it conflict, and those are more interesting to me; a lot of the show is about conflicting details and why somebody would’ve said that something happened this way while someone else said it happened another way. On one level the show is less a work of history and more of a work of historiography because it’s about the way stories are told than the stories themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"aligncenter noborder\">\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/DNdmGqLMqE4'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/DNdmGqLMqE4'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u003ci>This is footage from the first televised Oscars ceremony in 1953 of Gloria Grahame winning the award for Best Supporting Actress. In her episode about Grahame, Longworth reports that what wasn’t aired was Grahame tripping while walking up the stairs and blurting “Oh shit!” when she fell, which became scandal worthy of constant coverage in the tabloids.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Do you ever feel the need to use your podcast to correct history?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wouldn’t say “correct” because I don’t know what really happened in any of these cases. The tagline for the show is that it is about the secret and forgotten histories, and for me a lot of the secret history stuff is about looking at these events from the perspective of today, from a female perspective — especially on stories from the 1940s and ’50s. The default voice of American popular culture was from powerful white males. So if you were living a life that didn’t necessarily fit perfectly with the expectations of that default voice, then your story was either skewed or wasn’t told completely. I think coming at it from my perspective, that of a woman who was born near the end of the 20th century and living in the time that we’re in now, I’m able to see things from a different angle and tell a different version of the history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Do you ever feel like you would fit better in the times that you cover, the ’40s or ’50s? Like you were meant to live in the past?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, I don’t want to time travel or feel like I was born in the wrong time or anything. I would say that I grew up during a time in which it was so much more normal to be interested in movies than it is now. Now it’s almost a specialty to follow anything but Marvel movies, but that’s just times changing and me getting older. I’m never going to watch YouTube content — that’s just not something I’m going to be into — but that doesn’t necessarily mean I’m going to be cosplaying the ’60s or whatever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12064160\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12064160\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-600x600.jpg\" alt=\"The podcast's logo\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-600x600.jpg 600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-400x400.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-768x768.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-1180x1180.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-1920x1920.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-960x960.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-32x32.jpg 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-50x50.jpg 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-64x64.jpg 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-96x96.jpg 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-128x128.jpg 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/YMRTLogoHighRes-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The podcast’s logo\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So if I met you in person, you wouldn’t be rocking a bee hive and wearing knee-high white leather boots?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, but I did just buy a car from 1987.

But in a country where there are more than 23 officially recognized languages, why should Hindi be the sole recipient of international glory?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enter Tollywood, the lesser known but arguably just as impressive film industry for India’s Telugu speaking population. Never heard of Telugu before? You’re not alone, even though it boasts nearly as many speakers as French. On my first date with my husband, he told me his mother tongue was Telugu. I cocked my head. “Is that the same as Hindu?” The night then transpired into a screening of my first Tollywood film, \u003cem>Maghadheera\u003c/em> – an epic romantic comedy/drama/action musical saga about lovers from a past life finding each other again in the present.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hands down, the movie's most impressive scene is the music video for \u003cem>Dheera Dheera\u003c/em>, where Ram Charan, the sexiest actor, like, ever, serenades the queen of an ancient empire, his past life lover.

Tiki, after all, is a Maori word for a type of stone or wooden carving found throughout the islands. But the tiki bar \"is just taking all those cultures and putting them all in a blender and blending it all together to create this Isle of Tiki, which is this mythical place where tiki bars come from,\" says \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/kalewa\">Kalewa Correa\u003c/a>, a curator at the Smithsonian's Asian Pacific Islander Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The man working the real blender at Archipelago, owner Owen Thomson, concurs. Tiki bars, he says, have always been \"three steps removed from anything actually Polynesian.\" At his modern tiki bar, he says, \"it's more about re-creating a piece of Americana, of that 1950s, 1960s style.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, it's about re-creating \"that whole ethos of escapism,\" Thomson says. \"One of the reasons you're seeing tiki bars pop up all over America again is because ... all of us [are] staring at our phones all day, wrapped up in whatever stressful thing.\" The tiki bar gives us a reason to sort of step out of your daily life, he adds. \"There's island music and big fruity rum drinks, thatch and bamboo everywhere and you just kind of like, let it all go for a bit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Letting it go — that's something Type-A D.C. folks like me should probably do more often. But here's the thing: I'm drinking a piña colada out of a ceramic mug that's shaped like what's actually an important cultural symbol for the Hawaiians and the Maori and the Samoans. And that's something I should probably pause and consider for a minute, says Correa from the Smithsonian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What you're looking at — the carvings are either representations of gods, or they're representations of ancestors,\" he says. \"So if we were to put that into a context that Americans would understand, it would be like going into a Christian-themed bar\" with drinks served in glasses shaped like the Virgin Mary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pacific Islanders have, for the most part, ignored this whole trend, Correa says. \"But seeing your ancient gods or your ancestors in a bar somewhere far from where you are — I think that can be hard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seeing his Hawaiian culture commodified and turned into kitsch can feel invalidating, he adds. \"Really at the root of it, it's exploitation,\" he says. \"It's ignoring the real lives, the real culture and the real problems that we do face.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tiki bars can also feed into the idea that the islands are just a place to vacation or escape, he says, when in fact, Pacific islanders have real concerns — like climate change threatening their homeland, and their traditional ways of living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at the bar, my companion Angelo Villagomez agrees, but up to a point. \"We're seen as a place that's just a tourist destination,\" he says. \"It's only a place that you go to to have fun.\" That doesn't sit well with many islanders, who think of themselves as earnest, hard workers, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he can understand why tourists become so enamored with the islands that they try to re-create the experience at tiki bars and restaurants. \"There is something special about Pacific communities,\" he explains. \"When people visit they do feel welcome, they do feel like they're part of the community.\" The \"Aloha spirit,\" as they call it in Hawaii, is infectious. \"I think bars like the one we're at,\" he says, \"are sort of an attempt by people in the mainland to re-create some of that spirit. And maybe they're kind of re-creating it completely incorrectly. But I do think it comes from a good place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides, he adds, he's really into his Pineapple of Hospitality. \"I mean, I'm having fun; I've got good food, good rum\" — not to mention a Krazy straw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The way we look in the popular culture is more an issue of identity,\" he starts to say before taking a swig of cocktail. But he loses his train of thought. \"Man, this rum is good,\" he says, laughing. \"What was your question again? Because I think rum is the answer.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cem>Copyright 2016 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Tiki, after all, is a Maori word for a type of stone or wooden carving found throughout the islands. But the tiki bar \"is just taking all those cultures and putting them all in a blender and blending it all together to create this Isle of Tiki, which is this mythical place where tiki bars come from,\" says \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/kalewa\">Kalewa Correa\u003c/a>, a curator at the Smithsonian's Asian Pacific Islander Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The man working the real blender at Archipelago, owner Owen Thomson, concurs. Tiki bars, he says, have always been \"three steps removed from anything actually Polynesian.\" At his modern tiki bar, he says, \"it's more about re-creating a piece of Americana, of that 1950s, 1960s style.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, it's about re-creating \"that whole ethos of escapism,\" Thomson says. \"One of the reasons you're seeing tiki bars pop up all over America again is because ... all of us [are] staring at our phones all day, wrapped up in whatever stressful thing.\" The tiki bar gives us a reason to sort of step out of your daily life, he adds. \"There's island music and big fruity rum drinks, thatch and bamboo everywhere and you just kind of like, let it all go for a bit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Letting it go — that's something Type-A D.C. folks like me should probably do more often. But here's the thing: I'm drinking a piña colada out of a ceramic mug that's shaped like what's actually an important cultural symbol for the Hawaiians and the Maori and the Samoans. And that's something I should probably pause and consider for a minute, says Correa from the Smithsonian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What you're looking at — the carvings are either representations of gods, or they're representations of ancestors,\" he says. \"So if we were to put that into a context that Americans would understand, it would be like going into a Christian-themed bar\" with drinks served in glasses shaped like the Virgin Mary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pacific Islanders have, for the most part, ignored this whole trend, Correa says. \"But seeing your ancient gods or your ancestors in a bar somewhere far from where you are — I think that can be hard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seeing his Hawaiian culture commodified and turned into kitsch can feel invalidating, he adds. \"Really at the root of it, it's exploitation,\" he says. \"It's ignoring the real lives, the real culture and the real problems that we do face.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tiki bars can also feed into the idea that the islands are just a place to vacation or escape, he says, when in fact, Pacific islanders have real concerns — like climate change threatening their homeland, and their traditional ways of living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at the bar, my companion Angelo Villagomez agrees, but up to a point. \"We're seen as a place that's just a tourist destination,\" he says. \"It's only a place that you go to to have fun.\" That doesn't sit well with many islanders, who think of themselves as earnest, hard workers, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he can understand why tourists become so enamored with the islands that they try to re-create the experience at tiki bars and restaurants. \"There is something special about Pacific communities,\" he explains. \"When people visit they do feel welcome, they do feel like they're part of the community.\" The \"Aloha spirit,\" as they call it in Hawaii, is infectious. \"I think bars like the one we're at,\" he says, \"are sort of an attempt by people in the mainland to re-create some of that spirit. And maybe they're kind of re-creating it completely incorrectly. But I do think it comes from a good place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides, he adds, he's really into his Pineapple of Hospitality. \"I mean, I'm having fun; I've got good food, good rum\" — not to mention a Krazy straw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The way we look in the popular culture is more an issue of identity,\" he starts to say before taking a swig of cocktail. But he loses his train of thought. \"Man, this rum is good,\" he says, laughing. \"What was your question again? Because I think rum is the answer.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
