Deep Dive can't get no satisfaction

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the enormous talent of the Rolling Stones. We learn to paint it black, that you can't always get what you want, and here about Ruby Tuesday.

Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 8 PM in eastern Australia. Simply tell your Smart speaker to take you to Mushroom FM and you will be there quickly.

Mushroom FM, the home of the fun guys, features Deep Dive, where we focus on one artist for one hour. Please join me.

we've got a very special birthday salute for a long-time listener. As I missed a request from him the other week by not checking my Facebook Messenger

Come by the Hills is Back with a Virtual Birthday Party!

Hi there. Sara Hillis here to assure you that we are back this week with another live and in person edition of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show! Not only are we going to be playing our usual mix of great music for three whole hours, but there's a new microphone to test out, and we've got a very special birthday salute for a long-time listener. As I missed a request from him the other week by not checking my Facebook Messenger notifications, and as it's his birthday tomorrow, I figure he deserves three songs in a row!

Live like it used to be, at its old time, for one week only, it's the Mosen Explosion

Regrettably, Sara Hillis is unable to produce an edition of Come By the Hills this week, so desperate times call for desperate measures.

Long ago, when life was less frantic, I would bring you a three-hour edition of the Mosen Explosion live every weekend. Of course, the Mosen Explosion continues every week day, using our cool voice tracked technology. But I know there are some who enjoy the immediacy of the email and the Twitter, when you can respond in real time to what’s being said or played, and get a request played in super quick time.
