We love the diversity and straight up ALOHA at Mana’o! More music and less talk. The PSA department rocks too. DJ’s are the BEST on the planet. Thank you for all you do

I love that Phat Tony’s sets include the Cramps and Marty Robbins. Keep doing it right!

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.

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.

After stumbling on 91.7 (The Golden Record) while on Maui in 2020, I have been a huge fan from afar ever since. We’re back on island for three weeks and my radio has been pegged to Mana’o radio! I loved Tim’s Bit’s And Pieces” show, and I’m looking forward to Sarahtonin later today! It was a good reminder to donate.

Hula Honeys, you made my day by playing ‘S.P.C.’ by Zeca Pagodinho. In Brazil, S.P.C. refers to the debtor in loan documents . Besides being lively and danceable, that classic samba is also poetic and hilarious. Thanks again!

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!
