Mana’o Radio makes my ears happy, which makes my brain happy. Love the diverse music and people.

We found you in our rental car at 5 am last Thursday morning heading up to catch sunrise on Haleakala. It really got us going, song after song blowing us away. Within 24 hours of being home, we’d both looked you up online. And I promise, I’ve never fallen in love with a radio station before. Best music we’ve ever heard over genre after genre.

After living on the Big Island for 28 years we moved to Las Vegas in 2021. Had never heard of your station until I was looking for internet radio while living in LV. I always check you out when driving to work. I really enjoyed your music this Saturday morning.

Wanted to send you a great big thank you for always playing WEEN. My absolute favourite. I haven’t heard WEEN on the radio since the 90’s and even then it was some college radio station out of Montreal (I’m writing from Toronto, Ontario, Canada) and was spotty at best… so thank you! Your sets are always the best!

Hey, Pistol Pete! You’re sounding great! Love your music selections as well. If you have time, how about some Led Zeppelin before I head off to bed! Thanks…and I’ll be staying tuned!

Ah… Nobody Knows You… yes Bessie.. tell it like it is! Haven’t heard that song in so long thank you thank you! Awesome! I was listening to this while I was pumping gas at Costco. So I left my door open, the radio blaring, dancing away. The guy on the opposite pump came dancing around… He hadn’t heard it for a long time either. The woman behind me at her pump asked me what station I was listening to. I told her Manao radio… she never heard of it… Now she has! 91.7 I said told her all about everybody was a volunteer from the community that just was there cause They love music. anyway, a new listener! Way to go Bessie and Mike!

Mana’o radio allows me to continue to feel connected to the aloha spirit wherever I am in the world. Mana’o radio is responsible for many kitchen dance parties in my home, and special memories with my spouse, who I met twice on one day in Paia, at Mana foods and then Paia fish market. We were deeply saddened by the loss of DJ Duncan Mack this year, whose show we listened to and called in to religiously.

I love Journey Into Mystery and the ability to listen remotely (from California, in my case). I am happy to support independent community radio.

I enjoy your radio station immensely. It’s like having a piece of the beating heart of Maui right here with me. Mahalo for all you do to share your love of music, and the magic of Maui, with the whole world.

Thank you for introducing me to Greta van Fleet. Very Wow. Since the first moment you hit the air 16 yrs ago you have rocked my world. Mahalo for being the score to my life. You make it epic.
