Once again, the time has come for another four hours of chat, conviviality, and some of the best music ever made, as The Mosen Explosion is let loose on a suspecting world. It can hardly be unsuspecting anymore, given how long this soup has been going on.

It’s the birthday of Richard Davies from Supertramp on 22 July, so what a great excuse to make this classic band our featured group on this week’s show.

I’m back for yet another four hours of epic music, epic conversation, and epic interaction on this week’s epic Mosen Explosion.

Sadly, this week, I lost something of epic importance to me, my thesaurus.

Still, we soldier on, and we note that Linda Ronstadt was born on this day in 1946. So she’s our featured artist on this week’s show. Got any requests for a Linda song? She’s done so many epic ones! You can get them in via all the usual methods.

I’m Jonathan Mosen, the host of The Daily Fibre, which airs week days at 3 AM Eastern time, repeated 12 hours later. Hey, don't judge, 3 AM Eastern is a highly civilised 7 PM in New Zealand in winter.

As part of my work for the technology consultancy company I founded, Mosen Consulting, I read a lot of technology news. I know technology is a subject that interests many people, and the pace of innovation means that it can be a tough subject
to keep up with.

Looks like we made it to another Mosen Explosion. I haven’t been alive forever, but Barry Manilow’s closer to it than me because he is blowing out 72 candles today. That’s why he’s our featured artist on this week’s jolly old Mosen Explosion.

For a while there, and perhaps even now, it was trendy to hate on Barry Manilow, and I never figured out why that was. He’s a great pianist, vocalist and performer, and I’ll be delighted to play any Barry requests you may have.

Yesterday, we were proud to relaunch Mushroom Escape, our old-time radio channel.

We're pleased to say that TuneIn has now updated its database. This means you can find Mushroom Escape in the free TuneIn apps for iOS and Android, and in many places like Alexa, Google Assistant and Sonos.

Enjoy the pictures that only the theatre of the mind can provide, on Mushroom Escape.

Due to a shortage of qualified personnel, I’m back with you for another four hours of stuff, on The Mosen Explosion.

This week, it’s quite an exceptional show. I’ll be joined by a familiar Internet radio name to bring you a significant announcement about Mushroom FM. It’s been in the works for more than a couple of months now and I’m thrilled to be able to spill the beans at last. I think you’re going to be thrilled as well.

We’re celebrating Stevie Wonder’s 67th birthday this week on The Mosen Explosion. He’s our featured artist, and mate, there’s no shortage of Stevie classics for us to play. Got a particular favourite? Tweet, phone, or email me your request.

Bonnie is back with another action-packed bulletin, I’ll be talking about my latest epic health experiment, we’ll have plenty of great conversation about whatever comes up during the show, and we’ll look back on this cay in history.

Another week has flown by. There seems no way of stopping it I tell you! And we’re about to inflict another four hours of The Mosen Explosion on an unsuspecting world. Can you cope? Can I?

On today’s show, happy birthday Bob Seger, blowing out 73 night moves. Ooh he’s done some good stuff! Oooh yes he has. And if you have a particularly epic Bob Seger song you want me to play, well then, you know the drill. Email me, tweet me nicely, because as I always say, we should always tweet people as we would want to be tweeted, or you can call the jolly old listener line.

As a confirmed geek from way back, I love reading the latest tech news. In January 2018, I decided to start a daily Internet radio show on Mushroom FM called The Daily Fibre. It blends the latest tech news with a great mix of music from the 50s through the 80s.

It's been very popular, but there's been one frequent request. "Can you please make this available as a podcast?”

The Daily Fibre is Mushroom FM's technology magazine show. Heard every week day at 3 AM US Eastern time, then again at 3 PM Eastern, The Daily Fibre brings you the latest technology news, with some of the greatest musical memories thrown in the mix as well.

Monday's edition of the Daily Fibre is another special. Microsoft is beginning the release of the Windows 10 April 2018 Update. Since this is the operating system that powers most of the world's desktops and laptops, it's a big deal, and it's the only story we're covering on this edition of the show.
