The Reviews Are In: "A Must Listen."
I want to thank Dr. B for his Valentine show yesterday (Holoholo Na Mele). I am in central WA, where the covid stay-home-don’t-mingle time has been made even less bearable by a Polar Vortex Surprise that has dropped over a foot of snow where I live. Bitter cold temperatures and impassable roads. Espresso and good chocolate sure help, but it’s a challenge.
My sister, a long-time resident of Wailuku, torments me with photos of green things, her flowers, and descriptions of “cold nights” of 60 degrees.
I caught part of the program yesterday and was immediately warmed and cheered by it. Now I am replaying it over and over on demand. The 60’s music took me back to watching American Bandstand after school, and Johnny Mathis singing “The Twelfth of Never” reminded me of seeing him live in Seattle with a rotating mirror ball above him. To my teenage self, it was like a dream!
So a huge, sincere THANKS to Manao Radio and Dr. B. Better than chocolate this weekend!

YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!! I’ve just recently discovered the station and love everything that’s coming out of my speakers. Mahalo for all of this wonderful talent and sharing.

Love your radio station. Wish we had an equivalent one in Boston. We used to – WBCN. How I discovered your station was an article in the Boston Globe many years ago about Charles Laquidara and how he now had a show in Maui. Best of fortunes in the New Year. Love you guys and gals.

Dare to say your host Derek seems to be a most passionate music lover. I love love the variety and the random tracks selected. Today is the first time I’ve tuned in to the show “Mindful Mix.” And I’m spreading the word! So keep ’em spinning y’all!

Love most of the shows and it always brings a bit of our favorite island into our home.

Dude what a great morning show! Best set of tunes since I had an African American roommate in 1979. Can’t tell you how beneficial this was to me today. Mahalo

We love the music! Listening in Saint Paul Mn!

As always your music today was great. We are of the same age range and I think this maybe why I like your music selections so much. I have enjoyed J.J. Cale forever and had the pleasure to see him in concert several times in CA before he became too ill to preform.
Not much into TV. I listen to music (Mana’o Radio) all day, every day…..it’s my therapy. Thank you so much for what you do.

| Hi, I have been playing Mana’o radio every day since discovering you two weeks ago. I am an artist and paint full time from my studio in Wellington, New Zealand. I lived in Wailuku in 1997 and 1998 and this is where I met my wife, a kiwi who was backpacking her way up through. I’m frequently nostalgic for my time in Hawaii when I was in my early 20s and still feel a deep connection, so it delightful to discover your station which is not only Hawaiian, it is eclectic and original with terrific programming. I’m really pleased to have found you. I was a full time painter in Hawaii too…though lived a bit more frugally. ( I’m from Ireland). It’s funny how a moment in time, – my time in Maui, often spent painting up in Iao Valley, or out in Hana, can be still so significant . Happy birthday and keep up the terrific original music mix. Best wishes |
