I love the diverse programing from all the different personalities of Manao Radio’s volunteer DJ’s. Manao is Maui’s and the world’s best radio station ever!!! We want to make sure we help Keep it going!

My friend and I found 91.7 while we were in Maui last May. After returning to AZ, I have continued to listen to the Hula Honeys with great pleasure. I support my local radio station KXCI here in Tucson. Independent radio is the best. Big love to you all.

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 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!

To All You Great People,
Long time listener here. Always great and new music with no effort on my end.
Bill Best is the best. Such a never ending great host. He has a level of delivering great music and comedy consistently unmatched by anyone. Phat Tony voted number 1 for a reason. The time he put into his shows was reflected by the best 4 hrs of the week. One of the happiest moments in recent history was coming out of the pandemic. Bill Best and Phat Tony banter as their shows butted up to each other. It was the best step on getting back to normal. The Hula honey’s are the sweetest giggling woman. Who are just beautiful and entertaining. Pistol Pete is a rocker. Man that dude is blood pumping let us rock show. Brent’s Garage is ear pounder also. A Monday Morning Fire Alarm show. Is the kickstart this week of pace I enjoy. Hawaiian Steel show gives me such pleasure. Duncan Mac such a positive expression through and through.Her made me want to be nicer to the world always.

The DJs make an effort to not only share but TEACH the music that inspires them. So much more rewarding than what you find on the mainstream.

| I’ve been working from home the past two months. . . I gotta say with Mana’o DJ’s back on the air the quality of my daily life has improved. There is some kine of magic that happens when the Mana’o DJ’s get in that studio. Thank you to all! I keep the radio tuned in all day long, sometimes softly and other times cranking it up! Kindly ! |

I’m a fan. As a former participant in the industry I know how much it costs to keep the transmitters on.
