I’m a fan. As a former participant in the industry I know how much it costs to keep the transmitters on.

It’s hard to find good radio these days and I wasn’t expecting much more than the usual island fare, but then the dial skudded to a stop at 91.7 and that’s where it stayed for the next three days. Sorry it took so long to find you, but I want to tell you to just keep on doing the magic. I’m over 50 and your station brought back a lot of good memories about stations that meant something to me during my formative years, but even more it meant so much to connect with people who love music, even if I never personally met you all. P.S. those two women djs are gold.

Independent, non-commercial radio/media is essential. I listen to my favorite radio shows every week and it makes me a happier person! Music is healing and uplifting. Thanks Manao Radio!

I’m not much for calling in but want to tell you how very much I enjoy your music and look forward to your show every week (long before I had the pleasure of seeing you perform at the Kaunoa Senior Center). Thank you for your music and volunteer work at Mana’o 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.

I live near Boston. Discovered your radio years ago when I read an article about Charles Laquidara retiring to Maui. I’ve been to Hawaii four times. I love the spirit and vibe. And especially your inspirational programming. Keep up the spirit during these recent hard times.

I am an American guy originally from New Jersey, and these days I live near Vicenza in Italy. I’m a few years older than you, but not by much. I first got turned on to this station during my third visit to Hawaii last June. Typically, since I am 12 hours ahead of you, I listen during the mornings when I am at my work studio (I am a photographer by trade), or, working in my garden under the blazing Italian sun. I finally caught your show, which was the recorded version. It was the birthday show … By the way, happy birthday. This featured music from 1976. Listen man …. it was the best three hours of music I think I’ve ever heard strung together, and, I was a DJ myself for while. Just outstanding. I’m going to be listening to your show every time its on going forward. May be someday I’ll make it back to Maui, but in the meantime, long live your fantastic station and cheers from Italy.

I haven’t encountered a radio station as innovative, refreshingly original, and creatively varietal as Mana’o since the WHFS days in DC and the WTJU days during my college years. Rock, jazz, punk, country, pop, indie, emo, disco, blues, folk, Hawaiian, new wave, roots – that’s probably not all of the genres I’ve listened to over the years. You guys are GREAT. Every DJ possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of the background of the artists and songs they play. The passion I hear on my radio/laptop often as a DJ explains, explores, extrapolates on various song meanings, influences, and personal stories are priceless. Keep it up, amigos. Man, you’re awesome. Every day and All.Night.Long.

The DJs make an effort to not only share but TEACH the music that inspires them. So much more rewarding than what you find on the mainstream.
