Time goes by like it always does, and so we approach Mosen Explosion time yet again. You’ll hear it live at 2 PM US Eastern time, that’s 7 PM UK time on a Sunday, and bright and early on Monday morning at 8 AM New Zealand time, 6 AM Eastern Australia time. So as you can appreciate, this little announcement is very…well…timely!
Find Mushroom FM online, check us out in your radio app of choice, or if you have a smart speaker, you can ask it to play Mushroom FM on TuneIn.

It’s nearly that time of the week where I bring you four hours of great music, conversation and interaction live on The Mosen Explosion on Mushroom Fm.
The highlight of the show will be the Bonnie Bulletin, where Bonnie will be doing the big reveal, introducing us to her new Seeing Eye dog. Until then, my lips are sealed. WOOF!
If you’ve ever worked a guide dog, do you have special memories of your first meeting?

It’s with both profound sadness and gratitude that I write this post to pay tribute to Peter Scanlon having just learned of his death.
Those who’ve been listening to Mushroom FM for some years will remember Peter’s distinctive Australian accent and his love of the early days of rock and roll, both of which were very much on display in the show he hosted for us, The Big Beat Radio Show. His grasp of that era was almost encyclopaedic in its depth.

It’s back! Join me starting this Monday as every week day I serve up another year of tasty musical morsels and friendly conversation. If music from the 50s through the 80s is your thing, and you like a bit of banter thrown in for good measure, you’ll be pleased to know that that’s what we’re serving up on the Smorgasbord.
I may not have a brand new pair of roller-skates, or even a brand new key. But this year, the Smorgasbord is on at a brand new time as a brand new show from a brand old friend fills the old Smorgasbord slot.

We all know why we can’t listen to ELO at Christmas time, right? Because there’s noel at Christmas!
But another Christmas time has come and gone, and the letter L is back again. That’s just as well, because this week, the Mosen Explosion celebrates the birthday of Jeff Lynne. He was born on 30 December 1947, and of course is most famous for his leadership of the Electric Light Orchestra, all us cool kids just call them ELO.
Got any ELO requests? Flick them through via the Twitter, the phone or the email, and we’ll get them on for you.

20 years is a very long time in technological terms. Mobile phones were neither smart nor accessible. Those of us who were online back then were mostly accessing the Internet via dial-up. If you had 20GB of hard drive space on your Pentium PC, that was truly massive and exceptional. Now, we have far more storage than that on the device we carry in our pocket.

Thanks to the wonders of wonderous time zones, Christmas is over for another year in New Zealand, but it has finally turned up in the northern hemisphere.
We’ve had a special, memorable day with the family. After we sleep off all the food, we’re taking to Mushroom FM for a Mosen Family Christmas at 2 Pm Eastern, 7 PM UK.

On 16 December, we got together in classic Mushroom FM tradition, counted down the top 100 holiday songs as voted for by the Mushroom Crowd in 2018, and had a holly jolly fun time doing it.

Last Sunday, we played the top 100 holiday songs as voted for by the Mushroom Crowd. But listeners voted for 312 songs in total.
As has become our tradition over the last few years, join me, Jonathan Mosen, as we play four hours of Christmas cast-offs, a few of the 212 songs that people voted for, but not in large enough numbers to make the main chart.
It first airs in the Mosen Explosion replay slot, Tuesday at 5 AM Eastern time, 10 AM in the UK. If that’s stupid o’clock for you, we’ll play it again on Wednesday afternoon between 4 and 8 PM Eastern time.

One of our favourite traditions that has been established in recent years is the Mushroom FM Christmas party.
Sure, we get together to play the top 100 songs as voted for by our wonderful listeners, and hopefully, you cast your vote when voting was open. But it’s also about just getting together, enjoying some festive tunes and having a few laughs in good company.
