From this Saturday at 12am Eastern, that’s 4pm Saturday in NZ, 2pm in Sydney and 5am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movies Meet the Fockers from 2004 and Marry Me from 2022.
Meet the Fockers (sometimes known as Meet the Parents 2) is a 2004 American romantic comedy film directed by Jay Roach, and the sequel to the 2000 film, Meet the Parents.

I'm off on a mini vacation this weekend, so this means that I will not be doing a new episode of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic music show on Mushroom FM. However, if you tune in on Sunday at 8:00 PM Eastern, or for the replay on Tuesday at 5:00 AM Eastern, you'll hear an episode originally broadcast on September 30, 2023. This was when the show was on Saturdays rather than on Sundays, so keep that in mind when you hear me talking about what's coming up next and such. I hope you'll enjoy this blast from the past, and I'll be back with you again live next weekend.

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 we enjoy the talents and beautiful baritone voice of english singer Roger Whittaker. We hear the last farewell, mistrel, and the ske boat song.

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 croon to that SmartSpeaker of yours to play Mushroom FM and you will be there before you can say Springfield Ohio.

Hello! Once again I'm here as the herald of all things folkish on Mushroom FM, so hark! will you? Come by the Hills is coming up in a few short hours, and this week, I have what promises to be an eclectic show, in which we celebrate the birthdays of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins of Lord of the Rings fame with a set of Tolkien's poems that was crafted into a song-cycle by none other than Donald Swan of Flanders and Swan fame! Is this truly Folk music? Well, I suppose not, but it is a lovely thing, and I'm going to play it.

After you've enjoyed Decades in HD with PJ Noce tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 PM to 05:00 PM, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac, smart speaker or tablet and join me for The Early Years, where and when you'll hear the best music from the first quarter century of Rock with occasional nods to other decades and genres.

Hello! As some long-time listeners may no, September is a somewhat melancholy month for me, as it's when I lost, seven years ago on September 16th, my very best friend from when I was a child very suddenly due to as-yet unknown natural causes. Her name is Shannon, and I'm going to play some of her favourite songs this week, as well as a lovely bit of archival audio so her voice will live on. I've also got some really thought-provoking songs, and a song from me which I was inspired to write by another person who passed, also on September 16th, four years ago.
