Listening to Mana’o brings me back home while I’m away from home! Miss doing my radio show there! Keep up the great work!

We discovered your station while on vacation in Lahaina in May 2022. We have listened online since and appreciate the variety of music you offer. You help us remember what a wonderful vacation we had- and we appreciate you supporting the community during these devastating times.

That Ray Mayron is a constantly ear pleasing tune playing dude. Ray has motivated this note of thankfulness. I have been enjoying him so much. Bill Best is the best. Bill brings a comforting smile to my wife’s face too, with his voice. Pistol Pete never lets us stop rocking( Primus Sucks!). I still miss Party Time with Phat Tony. It goes on and on. The Hula Honeys remind me to be classy. Tim Stokes really fills a needed genre as well. Thank you for being there.

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.

| 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 |

It’s what isn’t on my mind- and I thank you. I am so glad to find myself on this island, hearing 91.7 in my ears and deeper. Many findings within your pleasant frequencies as plurals of Hawiian freedoms, teachings, prophecies and funk factor have occurred!
Hooray!
Hula Honeys! Ha ha and Mahalo! Lightness, brightness and insightness is what you send. Is that a word? I heard it was.
Duncan Mack- deepness do you not lack, mostly always enriching my life and sometimes cutting like a knife.
I’m bleeding with ideas and inspiration. Maybe a reverse heart attack!
I’m currently sitting back in awe and ache of the burning diesel and lights that make it what we call us and now.
Lovers and friends have found this page of wisdom, your sage ideas arisen from the signed, sealed and delivered dedication to airtime with honor, humor and humility.
Thank you for playing the songs you play, you’re the last DJ. I and we love it so much!
