The Reviews Are In: "A Must Listen."
| 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 |

YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!! I’ve just recently discovered the station and love everything that’s coming out of my speakers. Mahalo for all of this wonderful talent and sharing.

| Aloha from Puyallup Washington, I was recently checking on the internet to see if Musical Star Streams was playing on the radio somewhere and I discovered your radio station. I’m blown away how amazing your station is. I’m a fan for life now. Keep up the good work. |

My wife and I are contributors living in Minnesota and we stream Radio Mana’o a lot. We exercise in our basement to the Stream and this morningwe caught Tom Littell’s first show. It was fantastic – the sheer randomness of the sets was spectacular. I mean, “Hooray Hooray It’s a Holiday” and “Cat Scratch Fever” in the same set. I actually applauded. Anyway, rookie or not, Littell is really good at this and we look forward to many hours listening to his eclectic array of 60’s, 70’s and 80’s tunes. Well, done!

Nuff love from Cincinnati for the mix this morning.

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.

Live streaming from Austin Texas, earbuds on catching Gayle Lewis spin those tunes. Digging Saturday nights, for a few years now.

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!

I love Journey Into Mystery and the ability to listen remotely (from California, in my case). I am happy to support independent community radio.

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.
