At 2 PM Eastern US time, 7 PM in the UK on 25 April 2010, a new sound in cyberspace began broadcasting. After a week of social media build-up, very hard work and a lot of anticipation, Mushroom FM changed the game.

Since then, many talented people from around the world have entertained you, informed you, and kept you company through good times and bad. Most important of all, we’ve reached many listeners in well over 100 countries, a lot of whom have shown incredible loyalty to the station. And the best is yet to come.

It's a big weekend coming up for Mushroom FM as we turn 10. We've been working hard on special celebratory programming. Like all that we do, it's all about our Mushroom Crowd.

Unfortunately, we have not received Treasure Island Oldies in time to air today. However, we do expect to have it available for its second airing on our birthday, Saturday 25 April at 7 AM. Do join Michael then. Today, you'll hear some great selections from our four decades of magic Mushroom memories.

Next Saturday at 2 PM US Eastern time, it will be exactly 10 years ago when Mushroom FM began with its opening programme, a documentary introducing the station. At that time, we’ll be featuring a programme looking back at the last 10 years and celebrating all we’ve achieved.

During the current international crisis, even listeners who perhaps haven’t checked in with us for a while have come back to Mushroom FM and been reminded of the familiar voices and sense of community that all of us, fun guys and listeners together, have built.

It’s nearly time once again for another jolly old Mosen Explosion, live from New Zealand here on Mushroom FM right after Chuck at 2 PM Eastern, 7 PM in the UK.

When you're smiling...when you're smiling, the whole world smiles with you. When you snore, you sleep alone.

As we know, Sara smiles. Right? Right. But Sara's having a well-deserved day off today, aw'w'w'w'w'w'w. We want to keep the smiles coming, especially in this era where any smiles are most welcome.

So I hope you'll join me, Jonathan Mosen, at noon Eastern, 5 PM UK, as I take Sara's two hours, add my own one little hour, and create a super sumptuous feast on The Smorgasbord.

Recent events have been yet another reminder of what a precious part so many people have allowed Mushroom Fm to play in their lives. And it all began on 25 April 2010. Those 10 years have gone fast, and Mushroom FM is sounding better than ever.

What would it all be for without the Mushroom Crowd? So you're at the centre of our celebrations.

Oh my word oh my word! Another extraordinary week has come and gone. I hope you’re keeping safe and coping OK and that you’ll join me for another Mosen Explosion on Mushroom FM.

It’s incredible, but we’re only a couple of weeks away from Mushroom FM’s 10th birthday. Recent events have reminded me all over again what a special family connection we have with our audience. We’ve got some cool celebrations in store for you that we would be honoured to have you a part of. I’ll tell you about some of them on this week’s show.

If you’re in Europe or the UK, the fact that you sprung forward last weekend means the Mosen Explosion is back to its usual 7 PM UK Start time, that’s 8 PM in Central Europe.
If you’re in New Zealand and Australia, we fall back this weekend, meaning the show starts earlier. Oh boy!

So if all that’s left you thoroughly confused, the Mosen Explosion is back for three hours of music, conversation and interaction at 2 PM Eastern, 7 PM UK, and 6 AM in New Zealand.

Today I hosted my usual Mosen Explosion, which also forms the basis of my Mosen At Large podcast. Afterwards, I was left with a sense of responsibility and honour.
