It’s Jonathan Mosen here to tell you about the wonderful songs and stories we have for you this week on the final episode in this series of Small World, the kids’ programme for the whole family, only on Mushroom Escape.

Voting is closing at 11:59 PM Eastern time tonight for our holiday countdown. Every year, we get frantic messages from a listener or two who forgot to vote and really really really wants to. Unfortunately, we can't make exceptions. Once the votes are closed, they are closed. The reason for this is that once listeners have built the chart, work begins immediately on putting the countdown together, so it's ready to go live at 9 AM Eastern this Sunday.

There’s not long left! You have until the end of Friday US Eastern time to vote for your top 10 Christmas songs. The consequences of voting are enormous. You contribute to our top 100 countdown which we play this Sunday, and you also score yourself an invitation to our Christmas party.

Voting closes in Mushroom Fm's holiday countdown and Christmas party this Friday at 11:59 PM North American Eastern time. If you haven't voted yet, it's an accessible process that won't take you too long. Visit http://MushroomFM.com/countdown2021 and be sure that your friends and family do too.

This year, we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of this tradition that many people now look forward to. Our aim is that for you, participation is easy, festive and fun. But there's a lot going on behind the scenes.

You have until 11:59 PM North American Eastern time this Friday to cast your votes in Mushroom FM’s holiday countdown and receive an invitation to our Christmas party where we play the top 100 on 19 December.

From a listener’s perspective, you may think that this show would be an easy one for the fun guys to prepare for. After all, the listeners are in charge of what songs make the chart, so that’s the music taken care of, right? Well, it’s not quite that simple.

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 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.

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.

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.
