Deep Dive listens to the music

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the rocky musicality and tight vocal harmony of the Doobie Brothers. We go rockin' down the highway, listen to the music, see a long train runnin' and think about black water.

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. Just ask your smart speaker of the choice to play mushroom FM and you’ll be there in a couple of seconds.

Deep dive, where we focus on one artist for one hour. I look forward to you joining me.

the Election Day edition of Damo's All Day Breakfast.

Hi Everyone.

It's great to be back after an enforced break caused by my computer suffering a major melt-down.
This weekend in Australia we have a federal election, so we'll be talking about some of our odd election traditions such as Democracy Sausages. I also have lots to share about my travels, and other things going on in the McMorrow household. In the last week, I found time to do some baking, and had a second go at Irish Mark's buttermilk scons, and this time, the recipe worked so I'll be able to share it with you.
