The Reviews Are In: "A Must Listen."
We found you in our rental car at 5 am last Thursday morning heading up to catch sunrise on Haleakala. It really got us going, song after song blowing us away. Within 24 hours of being home, we’d both looked you up online. And I promise, I’ve never fallen in love with a radio station before. Best music we’ve ever heard over genre after genre.

Not listening to Mana’o Radio on the Internet or in your car, home, or office, then who the dickens are you listening to?
Listen to deprogrammed music. This is the music the lizard race does not want you to hear.
True to da rootz!

I like your New Orleans show today and especially want to thank you for bringing WWOZ’s Jazz Festival live streaming to Mana’o’s airwaves. Brilliant of you guys!! Mahalo!

Wanted to send you a great big thank you for always playing WEEN. My absolute favourite. I haven’t heard WEEN on the radio since the 90’s and even then it was some college radio station out of Montreal (I’m writing from Toronto, Ontario, Canada) and was spotty at best… so thank you! Your sets are always the best!

This dude gets the Excellent Award for rockin’ me through firewood! It’s 2 AM here and below freezing. Please express my thanks.

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.

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 was steaming the New Orleans Jazz Fest at home today and then I found out our own Mana’o radio was carrying their feed! So hip, you guys!!!! I love it and thanks.

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!

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!
