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!

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.

— I have eclectic taste in music, so the eclectic blends spun by the DJ Ohana, even on the specialty programs, is right up my alley.

I enjoy your radio station immensely. It’s like having a piece of the beating heart of Maui right here with me. Mahalo for all you do to share your love of music, and the magic of Maui, with the whole world.

Dare to say your host Derek seems to be a most passionate music lover. I love love the variety and the random tracks selected. Today is the first time I’ve tuned in to the show “Mindful Mix.” And I’m spreading the word! So keep ’em spinning y’all!

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 |

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!

Great listen while working today. I’ve been spreading the good word on Mana’o Radio to all my friends and family here on the mainland, i.e. Seattle and beyond. It’s wonderful to stay connected to Maui and my ohana there.

I’m from PHAT Tony’s place of birth, so the morning shows are on right in the middle of the workday, but I love that radiofreeamerica.com lets me listen on demand. AND … I just realized I can listen live any time on my Echo Dot by telling Alexa to play KMNO 91.7 Wailuku Hawaii. She’s very obedient. Love you all!

What a GREAT list! Monday, dreary, rainy and gloomy…EXCEPT for Derek’s selections. What a GAS of a Monday morning.
