- Cultura y sociedad
TalkBox is a podcast centered on exploring the challenges faced on Kauai in a post-Covid world. As the economic and social landscape continues to drastically alter, I explore through conversation what new problems are emerging, what solutions should be implemented, and what kind of an example Kaua’i can set for the rest of the world. Technologists, politicians, farmers, and residents from all walks of life provide their unique perspectives on life and where we go from here.

Will Lydgate
Will is the owner and operator of Lydgate farms, from which he produces cacao beans to make award-winning chocolate. His chocolate was recently selected by the Fine Chocolate and Cacao Institute to represent the United States as an outstanding cacao farmer. On Kaua'i, the Lydgate family has been contributing to the community for generations, and holds high public regard and recognition. It was my pleasure to sit with him to talk story, along with my friend and returning guest contributor, Wissam Ali-Ahmad, to talk about the farm, challenges with Covid, new business ideas... and just to shoot the shit. Hang around for the final 20 minutes of this podcast, ladies and gentlemen...
