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

Thank you, made my day. Went from spacey to funky, to jazzy, to soul, and blues. Great transition. Also introduced me to some great new artists I hadn’t heard before. Mahalo

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 found you on the radio garden this morning and I don’t ever want to leave. Thank you for the music. You’re playing exactly the kind of chill tunes I needed today. It’s been in the minus 30s all week and im working from home. Aloha from Canada. |

| 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 |

My family is visiting from New York to spend Christmas and New Year’s on the island. Loving your music and station. What a treat to find a wonderful local public station in paradise. Thanks for great tunes and making our stay blissful! Will follow you online when we get home! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Karl Zuk from Katonah, New York near New York City.
