It's Jonathan Mosen, here to say that Bonnie and I are very touched that so many Mushroom Fm listeners have asked us to bring our live new year show back.
For those who aren’t familiar, here is the story so far.
For many, many, many consecutive years, and in other years before that, which all amounts to a voluminous quantity of years, I have hosted a new year show on Internet radio. It started even before Mushroom FM, and long before Bonnie and I were together, but Bonnie and I have hosted the show together since 2013.

After you've enjoyed the New Year's eve edition of The Variety Vault with Paul Merrell, Wednesday afternoon from 2 to 4 PM, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac, smart speaker or tablet and join me for an Early Years New Year's Eve celebration.

As the year draws to a close, it is time for one of the most poignant and powerful traditions in radio. Mark Stafford returns with his annual masterpiece, Rock and Roll Heaven, a heartfelt tribute to the legendary musicians and industry icons we lost over the past twelve months.
Produced with the meticulous care and deep musical knowledge that has made Mark Stafford a staple on stations like Radio Caroline and Big Hits Radio, Rock and Roll Heaven is a celebration of the legacies that shaped our lives.

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.

Being on Mushroom FM around Christmas time is one of my favorite Mushroom FM things. It's my pleasure to be hosting a live show on our first US Christmas, as we hibernate on a cool winter's afternoon and catch up with Mushroom Fm listeners around the world.

After you've enjoyed the Christmas eve edition of The Variety Vault with Paul Merrell, Wednesday afternoon from 2 to 4 PM, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac, smart speaker or tablet and join me for An Early Years Christmas.
The four decades of music that Mushroom FM typically plays will be represented along with decades before and after them as I play what I'm calling "Christmas Favourites".

Whether you're spending Christmas with a houseful of loved ones or enjoying a quieter celebration on your own, Mushroom FM has the perfect soundtrack for your holiday. We know that Christmas can be a time when some of our listeners find themselves alone. We'd be honored to keep you company with familiar voices and festive tunes. For those celebrating with family and friends, we'll provide the ideal musical backdrop to your festivities. Turn us up or keep us gently playing in the background as you create those special holiday memories.

Hello! Sara Hillis here to let you know my holiday plans! Well, okay, not quite my holiday plans, but my plan regarding my contributions to Mushroom FM during this holiday season.

I know the schedule says that there will be a single Sara Smiles at midnight Eastern on Christmas Eve, but this will not be the case. Tomorrow, December 23rd, will be the final Sara Smiles for 2025. We'll be talking Festivus with the cast of Seinfeld and playing the usual tunes from all four decades of Magic Mushroom Memories, with a few holiday things in the mix as well.

Greetings! It's me, Sara Hillis, and I come before you in my Folk and Celtic music show host's hat, which at this season of the year is festooned with festive decorations galore, to present to you the Come by the Hills Christmas special! At last, it's here! I've got carols, modern Christmas classics, spoken word and even a little festive silliness! So I hope you'll tune in if you have a mind, especially since this is the final new Come by the Hills episode for 2025! I'll have a rerun next week, and then it will be a whole new year!
