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

Great local non profit radio. Super eclectic and awesome DJs.

After living on the Big Island for 28 years we moved to Las Vegas in 2021. Had never heard of your station until I was looking for internet radio while living in LV. I always check you out when driving to work. I really enjoyed your music this Saturday morning.

This radio station is so innovative, original, creative, and enthusiastic that it hearkens back to my DC days with WHFS and WTJU in Charlottesville. I listen to KMNO daily in Austin, and needless to say, crank it in the condo and in the convertible each summer on Maui. Outstanding, informative, and entertaining DJ’s. A must listen.

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!

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!

OH MY GOD!!! I’m from the USA, and I DJ tons of music of various types one can imagine over the years, and your Café DJ was playing Gotan Project and it blew my mind!!! I’m so happy to have bookmarked you while I am visiting Maui!!!

-Lindsay

Love most of the shows and it always brings a bit of our favorite island into our home.

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.
