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

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.

Thank you from San Francisco for all the great music. We also had the opportunity to see Kalani P’ea on a short recent visit – a great show!

It’s 6:12pm on Sunday July 25th and I have been listening to this set for about one hour and loving it. Mahalo nui
That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy the Jazz and the Blues. Today’s line up has been great!

I just want to say thank you for a wonderful set! This morning I was coming to work about 9 o’clock and listen to some wonderful Jazz. It’s amazing the selection that your DJ played. We are so very fortunate to have this radio station alive and well on Maui!

I love your radio station. Since discovering it while visiting Maui in October of 2022, I’ve streamed it at least 20 hours a week. I love the eclectic music mix, the real DJs choosing what to play, the volunteer aspect of the the staff, and the archives I can download. However, you have just topped yourselves with the new app. Up until now, I’d have to check an independent playlist if I wanted to know what song was being played. Mana’o, do not change.

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!

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.
