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

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 |

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.

Thanks for the great sound! Cheers from chilly Switzerland!

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.

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.

This dude gets the Excellent Award for rockin’ me through firewood! It’s 2 AM here and below freezing. Please express my thanks.
