In 1998, the University of Hawaii was ranked 112th out of 112 teams in the NCAA.  Having lost for 18 straight games, they were at a bottom and had little hope for a turnaround.  So they turned to an adopted son: NFL coach June Jones.  Taking a huge career risk, June accepted the challenge and stepped in to make some changes.  But those changes had less to do with building a new field tactic than it did with building a new kind of community.

We proudly present to you the story of the single greatest turnaround in college football history: the 1999 Hawaii Warriors.  Mahalo.

Additional music for this episode was provided by Monplaisir under a CC0 1.0 Universal license (public domain dedication).  Their track is titled “Red Hair, Blue Sky”.

Also featured were Johnny Nobles Hawaiians and The Hawaiian Trio.

Every now and then we’ll have a piece of tape that–while it didn’t fit in to our episode–is still something that we think you should hear. So we’ll be releasing these bonus episodes intermittently. And we’d love to know what you think, so let us know on out forums page.

During our most recent episode, when Branan was interviewing Shearwater‘s Jonathan Meiburg, they found themselves diving into the subject of a strange biological phenomenon known as “genetic memory”. Enjoy!

Jonathan Meiburg is a bonafide rock star.  But for the past twenty years, when he isn’t touring or cutting a new album, Jonathan has been routinely drawn to the Falkland Islands and the striated caracara, a rare falcon whose brain has been found to be strangely human.  He’s also one of the most creatively generous people we know.  Which is why we asked him to be the composer for The Well.  We hope you enjoy this in-house interview as much as we enjoyed making it.

Earlier this year Anson got to fulfill a lifelong fantasy when he portrayed a Marvel Comics superhero.  While shooting, he kept a handheld recorder with him and asked his cast mates a very simple question: “Who’s your superhero?”  The results were not only interesting, but deeply touching.  This episode is dedicated to those special people in our lives who inspire us to continue being creative in the pursuit of our dreams.

Special thanks to Marvel Entertainment and to the cast of “The Inhumans”.

In 1820, the whaleship Essex was attacked by a sperm whale and sank.  A handful of men survived through shear force of will and their story became the inspiration for Herman Melville’s Moby Dick.  But that wasn’t the end of the story.  Dr. Kelly Gleason Keogh tells us how Captain George Pollard went on to helm another fateful ship… and how she uncovered its watery remains.
