The countdown to the countdown, making the most of our virtual party

There’s still time to vote in Mushroom FM’s holiday countdown and to receive an invitation to our Christmas party. But time is running out rapidly with votes closing at the end of Friday 17 December Eastern North American time.

Being able to tune in to hear how the 10 songs you voted for ranked in the countdown, or indeed whether they made it to the countdown at all since we have around 250 songs people have voted for at this point, is a lot of fun. But we add even more to the fun by turning the countdown in to another of Mushroom FM’s famous social media events.

It's the second to last episode of the series this week on Small World

It’s Jonathan Mosen here to tell you about the wonderful songs and stories we have for you this week on Small World, the kids’ programme for the whole family, only on Mushroom Escape. This series of Small World will conclude after the 19 December episode. And now that we’re into December, I’m digging out some classic Christmas material.

What are your top 10 holiday songs of all time? Cast your vote and score an invitation to our virtual party

Hi everyone and merry Christmas!

Boy, have I got an incredible festive fun combination for you! Exercising your hard-won right to vote, holiday music and partying!

Mushroom FM runs a fun and very popular tradition every year where we ask listeners to vote for their top 10 holiday songs, and we play the top 100 as tabulated by a fancy algorithm. People's preferences change from year to year so we never know what the countdown is going to sound like, and after another unusual and difficult year, we sure could use a little levity and companionship.

Ho Ho HO! Plenty of classic kids' songs and stories this week on Small World, only on Mushroom Escape

On the 20th anniversary of his death, Mushroom FM pays tribute to George Harrison

Whether you think of him as the quiet Beatle, the spiritual Beatle, or the late blooming Beatle, George Harrison was one of the most influential musical figures of the 20th century. Not only were the Beatles the soundtrack of their generation, their music has proven to be timeless, more popular now than ever.

On 29 November, it will be 20 years since George’s death. It was one of those flashbulb moments for many of us. We can remember exactly where we were and what we were doing when the news came through.

Clocks going back in our official time zone this weekend

Mushroom FM keeps North American Eastern time, where clocks are falling back on Sunday morning. If your clocks are also falling back this weekend, there will be no change for you in terms of when Mushroom FM and Mushroom Escape programmes are on.

If you are in the UK and Europe where clocks fell back last weekend, the time change this weekend will restore the usual time difference.

In Australia, New Zealand and other countries that have put their clocks forward, it means that Mushroom FM and Mushroom Escape programmes will start yet another hour later.

Forget your troubles and join us for Small World this Sunday on Mushroom Escape
