Due to hardware failure at their end, the Treasure Island Oldies team have so far not been able to get their show to us for airing.

If it becomes available before show time, 5 Pm Eastern, we'll do all we can to ensure it airs. If not, please accept our apologies. We expect to be able to air it in the usual replay slot, Saturday at 7 AM Eastern.

In the event of no show, the Mushroom Pot will keep you entertained with some great music.

Here we go with more fun with the space time continuum. The clocks have gone forward in the USA, but they have not gone forward in some other parts of the world. This means the show may start an hour earlier for you. For example, while we still rock the world at 2 PM Eastern time, it will start at 6 PM in the UK, and 7 AM in New Zealand. Oh boy I had better set my alarm an hour earlier!

Another Mosen Explosion is rapidly rolling around. Or if you prefer that infinitives not be split, a view with which I have sympathy, another Mosen Explosion is rolling around rapidly! However you phrase it, it’ll be on again at 2 PM Eastern, 7 PM UK, 8 AM in New Zealand. That’s the last time I’ll be able to say that for a while as times start to change around the world.

Join Ronnie Sevean on Mondays at 6 AM Eastern, repeated on Fridays at 6 PM Eastern for the Musical History Tour.

Since the age of 8, Ronnie Sevean wanted to either play professional soccer or be a DJ. After his college playing career didn't yield any pro contracts, he turned to his Communications education and went into radio in the NYC market..the most competitive, cut-throat broadcasting market there is on this or any other planet!

This show has been going on in some form or other for well over 20 years now, but this is the first time it’s ever been on a leap day! And just think, if we were still on Sundays like we were this time last year before my job change, we’d have missed out again. So what a worthy thing to celebrate!

Mushroom FM has to fill the time somehow, so they are letting The Mosen Explosion back on the air again at 2 PM Eastern and 7 PM in the UK on Saturday, that’s 8 AM on Sunday morning. Parts of it are then sliced, diced and published on the Mosen At Large podcast, available wherever you get your podcasts.

Well that got your attention now didn’t it? And rightly so. It’s that time of year again when the San Francisco Lighthouse is calling for applications for its Holman Prize for blind ambition. Any blind person throughout the world can apply and you could be awarded up to $25,000. I’ll be joined on The Mosen Explosion this week by Lee Kumutat, the San Francisco Lighthouse’s new Director of Communications to tell us all about the prize, what kind of entries float the boats of judges, and how you can apply.

Once again that happy time has rolled around when I’ll be with you for three hours of fun, conversation and great music on The Mosen Explosion. The show also forms the basis of the Mosen At Large Podcast, so if you want to influence the podcast in real time and watch it as it’s recorded live, do join us on Mushroom FM.

This week has been a remarkable one for news, with senators in the US making a sham out of their constitutional duty and Britain finally leaving the EU. I’ll be commenting on both events and the common lesson they can teach us.

In December, we were of course urging people to hark! Now that it’s January and there’s an impeachin’ going on, we say “hear ye, hear ye” and welcome back to the Mosen Explosion after its summer break.

The first thing to note is that the show is now mercifully shorter. It still starts at the same time, 2 PM Eastern, 7 PM in the UK, but it runs for three hours rather than four. This is to allow me time to put the Mosen At Large Podcast together, which features some talky bits of the show, and still have some time to hang out with the family on my Sunday afternoon.

Hi there! It's Jonathan here and in a special show later today at 2 PM Eastern, 7 PM UK, I’ll be broadcasting live on Mushroom FM for an hour doing a full music show live from my iPhone thanks to the Backpack Studio app.
