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

Phat Tony is our fave. Excellent / sophisticated musical taste. How about some Firesign Theater snippits, Bonzo Dog Doo Daa Band & maybe Rob & Ray. We’ll keep listening!
-Barry & Marilyn Kroner
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!

| 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 |

I want to thank Dr. B for his Valentine show yesterday (Holoholo Na Mele). I am in central WA, where the covid stay-home-don’t-mingle time has been made even less bearable by a Polar Vortex Surprise that has dropped over a foot of snow where I live. Bitter cold temperatures and impassable roads. Espresso and good chocolate sure help, but it’s a challenge.
My sister, a long-time resident of Wailuku, torments me with photos of green things, her flowers, and descriptions of “cold nights” of 60 degrees.
I caught part of the program yesterday and was immediately warmed and cheered by it. Now I am replaying it over and over on demand. The 60’s music took me back to watching American Bandstand after school, and Johnny Mathis singing “The Twelfth of Never” reminded me of seeing him live in Seattle with a rotating mirror ball above him. To my teenage self, it was like a dream!
So a huge, sincere THANKS to Manao Radio and Dr. B. Better than chocolate this weekend!

I think your M-F mid-day programs are the best! Bill has always been great. And now w/Jimmy C’s Jazz and Kristy & Sara’s Elec-boost. I look forward to being on the road and listening 10a-2p. Mahalo

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!

Mahalo for the Hawaiian & Memphis sounds. Got me from Kihei to Waiohuli.
