The Reviews Are In: "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.

Hey, Pistol Pete! You’re sounding great! Love your music selections as well. If you have time, how about some Led Zeppelin before I head off to bed! Thanks…and I’ll be staying tuned!

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 |

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

I just want to say thank you for a wonderful set! This morning I was coming to work about 9 o’clock and listen to some wonderful Jazz. It’s amazing the selection that your DJ played. We are so very fortunate to have this radio station alive and well on Maui!

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.

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!
-Jill R., Knoxville, TN
I love that Phat Tony’s sets include the Cramps and Marty Robbins. Keep doing it right!
