Remember those weekends long ago, where there would be a live Mosen Explosion?

Well, my schedule doesn't allow for that very much, but I will be on the air live on Thursday between 1 and 3 Pm Eastern, 6 and 8 PM UK. Thanks to Sara for letting me borrow an hour of her replay slot.

On 24 February, Russian forces invaded Ukraine. The death toll is mounting. Families have been torn apart as some seek refuge in other countries, while others stay to fight for their country's freedom.
Disabled people are experiencing particularly difficult times.
The situation has made many of us feel helpless and heartsick. But there are things we can do, ways we can help.

It's the time of year again, well, one of them, where the times of your favourite Mushroom FM shows may change. We had to pick a time zone, so when we founded Mushroom FM in 2010, we picked North American Eastern time. Daylight saving begins there this weekend.

It was 10 years ago, on 4 March 2012, that a Mushroom FM listener named Bonnie Lannom co-hosted the Mosen Explosion I was doing live from Boston, where I was visiting for work. We often wonder how different our lives would have been if she had been doing something else that day, or I had decided to do the show solo. Few couples of fortunate enough to have such a detailed recording of their first proper conversation, but we still have that show, and listen to it occasionally.

Flowers, chocolates, and a special edition of the Mosen Explosion for Valentine's Day. Perfect, especially if rona restrictions are limiting your dining choices this year.

On Monday, it's all love songs, and I would love to get requests or dedications for the special person in your life. Declaring your love on global Internet radio? I mean dude! That is an epic way to show someone you care.

Still going strong after well over 20 years on the jolly old Interweb, the Mosen Explosion is back for another year with a face lift. Now all I need is to get a face lift of my own!

This year, the Mosen Explosion comes packed with fun, including more whimsical and whacky news stories, things that make you go “hmm”, and a new daily feature, the brain exploder. Here’s how it works.

We have had a fantastic response to Mushroom FM's new Alexa skill and Google action. Now we are delighted to announce that Mushroom Escape is available with a skill and action of its own.

Not only have we vastly expanded our music library from our four decades of magic Mushroom memories, not only are we rocking a new Alexa skill and Google action, but we're now giving you a chance to hear Gary G every week day. Join Gary direct from South Africa at 3 AM and again at 3 Pm Eastern for A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That. It's a pleasant miandar through the four decades that we play with a bit of fun conversation and humour thrown in for good measure.

The Mosen Explosion was set to return on Monday with an invigorated format packed with new features. But that has been postponed by a day as we take the hour to pay tribute to meat Loaf, whose death was recently announced.

Flamboyant, larger than life, a member of a great rock partnership and singer of one of the biggest selling albums of all time, Meat Loaf was part of the soundtrack of a generation.

As the Mushroom FM programming spins up to full speed for 2022, we have several exciting improvements to report including a dramatically expanded music library from our four decades and an even easier to use accessible online player. However, the big news we’d like to cover today is the availability of our very own Alexa skill and Google Action.
