Greetings fellow music travelers.

Tonight's session of The Depths will be our last together, so I invite you to come hang out and enjoy the experience.

We'll listen to tracks from Deep Purple's new album, as well as the excellent new release from Joe Bouchard, one of the original members of Blue Oyster Cult.

We'll take a trip back through time via the Nazz, and dig on some fine spiritual jazz.

We'll hear songs about wine, check out a couple offbeat Beatles covers, and so much more.

If you have fond memories of warm summer nights, with ice cream and soda pop, chilly evenings by the fire with hot coco and memorable music to set the mood, then I know the place to visit. Come on down to the doo-wop corner Sunday evenings from 6 to 8 PM ET and Saturday mornings from 4 to 6 AM. ET. We will be playing group harmony from the fifties and early sixties. Send your emails and requests to michael@mushroomfm.com. Tell your Smart Speakers to play mushroomfm and we will be right there with you to enjoy the show.

Affter you've enjoyed Mushroom FM's tech magazine show, Mosen At Large, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 to 05:00, during which I hope all your tech questions get answered, don't touch that dial, device, PC or Mac and join me in The Early Years where and when you'll enjoy the best music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades and genres.

this week on Damo's All Day Breakfast, in addition to the great selection of Aussie and Kiwi music, I'm joined by Belinda O'Connor, the founder of Bioptic Driving Australia.
We'll chat with Belinda about the process and the journey to getting her driver's license as a person born with low vision. We'll also talk about some of the barriers she's had to overcome along the way, and we'll find out about Bioptic Drivers Australia, and it's aimes and objectives.

From this Saturday at 2am Eastern, that’s 6pm Saturday in NZ, 4pm in Sydney and 7am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movie The Lady Vanishes from 1938.
The Lady Vanishes is a 1938 British mystery thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, starring Margaret Lockwood and Michael Redgrave.
Written by Sidney Gilliat and Frank Launder, based on the 1936 novel The Wheel Spins by Ethel Lina White.

Kia ora koutou everyone from an unseasonably warm Wellington given that it’s the middle of winter. I hope very much you will not only join me for Mosen At Large, but that you’ll get in touch and help to shape the show. It’s hearing from our global listening audience that has made this show so special, so thank you, and do keep it up.

The Juke In The Back” focuses on the “soul that came before rock n’ roll,” the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.
This week, it’s part 10 of a 10 part feature on the great King Record Label, out of Cincinnati. Syd Nathan, who began putting out records under the King logo in 1943, developed King as a hillbilly music label. After seeing the sales potential in the Rhythm & Blues market, Nathan launched the Queen Records subsidiary in 1945, but folded it into King in 1947 and transferred his R&B acts over.

Hi there! Sara Hillis here to tell you what's coming up for you in just over twelve hours as I'm posting this. It's another episode of come by the Hills! I hope to bring it to you live, but it depends on the rather stormy weather today. It may make more sense to do a voice-tracked show for you this week, but hey. Maybe I'll get some of The Snow Man's nerve and just broadcast live in spite of the thunder! Anyway, regardless of how it's coming to you, I promise you a new show today, filled with great Folk music with a Celtic sound!

This week on Deep Dive we play the music of the Pretenders fronted by Chrisie Hyne. We have breakfast in bed, we have brass in pocket, and we get back on the chain gang. All in all we enjoy some very good eighties rock.

Join me on Monday at 4 PM Eastern, 6 AM on Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Alternatively join me at 6 AM Eastern on Wednesday, or 8 PM in Eastern Australia.

Send me an email or a sound recording with your favourite band or artist, some of the songs you liked, and your memories of them. I'd love you to join me on the show.

Coming up this week on a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Four decades of the best music mushroom memories.
From the fabulous 50s, The sensational 60s, the super 70s and be epic 80s.
And here is something brand-new to look forward to.
at the top of the second hour, I am starting an exciting new feature called something South African.
