Only on Mushroom Escape, it's a fresh edition of Small World this Sunday

It’s Jonathan Mosen back with a fresh edition of Small World this week, the kids’ show for the whole family. Since it’s you, and I know you’ve been very good this week, I’ll give you a few clues about what goodies I have coming up.

We’re going to begin by going into space. Golly! And we’re in some very good company while we’re up there.

Can you talk like a pirate? Ar’r’r’r’r’r!. Don’t worry if you can’t, because you can still listen to a classic story that’s got pirates in it! Shiver me timbers!

Coming up on Saturday at the Described Movies: The Yearling and The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer.

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 The Yearling from 1946 and The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer from 1947.
The Yearling is a 1946 family film drama directed by Clarence Brown, produced by Sidney Franklin, and released in Technicolor by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM).
The screenplay by Paul Osborn and John Lee Mahin (uncredited) was adapted from Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings's 1938 novel of the same name.

The Mosen Explosion has a special tribute to Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts

It’s been a rough week for fans of the kind of music we play on Mushroom FM. The tributes I put together for artists are rare, but for the third consecutive day, I am pre-empting the usual Mosen Explosion format to pay tribute to another influential musician who has just died, Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts.

Obviously there is a huge amount of music to choose from, and I’ll be telling you a bit about Charlie Watts, how he ended up being one of the longest serving members of the Stones, and what he collected that he couldn’t use.

Paying tribute to Don Everly on the next Mosen Explosion

Once again I am pre-empting the usual Mosen Explosion format to pay a special tribute.

Deep Dive pays tribute to old dogs, children and watermelon wine

The country music world lost its old storyteller this week with the passing of Tom T Hall last Friday. Deep Dive pays tribute to him in this week's show. We hear the story of the Harper Valley PTA, the views of the cowboy and the poet, all about Sneaky Snake and what I Love.

Join me at 4 PM Eastern this Monday, which is 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Wednesday, which is 8 PM in Eastern Australia. Simply tell your SmartThing to take you to Mushroom FM, the home of the fun guys, and you will be there.

Paying tribute to legendary singer/songwriter Tom T. Hall on the next Mosen Explosion

Every week day at 2 AM North American Eastern time, repeated 12 hours later at 2 PM Eastern, the Mosen Explosion is on Mushroom FM bringing you an eclectic mix of music, today in history, wacky news and listener requests.

But the next show is a bit different as we pay tribute to country artist Tom T. Hall, who died recently aged 85. Tom T. Hall wrote, and mostly sang for himself, a string of hits. I’ll tell you a bit about him as well as play just a few of his best over the course of an hour.

Songs about the cosmos tonight on Toews On The Waves

Toews On The Waves is a music and comedy show that has enjoyed a long run on internet radio. It's currently enjoying a limited revival on Mushroom FM Sunday evenings at 07:00 replaying Thursday mornings at 08:00. Usually hosted by Bruce Toews, it presents a theme that can be about anything.
Hi, I'm Steve Cutway, and I have the distinct pleasure of sitting in again this week for Bruce as he is unavailable through no fault of his own for reasons that are completely beyond his control. (That's his story and he's sticking to it.)

Sun Records and R&B, Part 1 today on The Juke In The Back!

This week, we're taking a trip all the way back to last week on Small World

Last week, we had a few technicals on Mushroom Escape during some of the most popular Small World listening times. They tried to explain it to me, and I think it’s something to do with the doodacky not properly working with the thingamabob widget on the whatchamacallit. Some people who were looking forward to the stories we were playing didn’t get to hear the whole show in full. Which made them sad. We don’t like that, so this week we will be taking a trip back in time all the way to last week in case you couldn’t hear the episode.
