By the time credible media sources were confirming the death of Tom Lehrer at the age of 97, I had already completed Monday’s show. So, This Tuesday, the Mosen Explosion on Mushroom FM takes a nostalgic, hilarious, and downright brilliant detour as we pay tribute to one of the greatest satirists and musical minds of all time: Tom Lehrer. Join us at 2 AM US Eastern time or catch the encore at 2 PM Eastern for a two-hour special that promises to have you laughing, thinking, and perhaps even singing along.

Hello! Sara Hillis here to spread the stupendous news that, not only is Come by the Hills live this weekend, but my favourite (in fact my only) dynamic microphone is back in business after an unfortunate accident which befell its headphone jack in November. Thanks to my new Zoom H6 Essential Recorder which can also act as an audio interface, I no longer need the mic's headphone jack, and life is good!

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.

After you've enjoyed The Mosen explosion with Jonathan Mosen tomorrow afternoon from 2 to 4 PM, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac, smart speaker or tablet and join me for The Early Years, where and when you'll hear the best music from the first quarter century of Rock with occasional nods to other decades and genres.

This week on Deep Dive our feature band is US band The Monkees. We hear that i'm a believer, I want to be free, and meet D.W. Washburn.

Tune in at 4 PM Monday Eastern, which is 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 8 PM in Eastern Australia. It's easy! Simply tell that SmartSpeaker of yours to play Mushroom FM and it will take you there momentarily.

Deep Dive is the programme where we focus on one artist for one hour. And you can hear it exclusively on Mushroom FM, the home of the fun guys. Please join me there.

Greetings and salutations! Sara Hillis here to let you know that, as a result of a confluence of sundry Sara-birthday-related events, this week's episode of Come by the Hills will be a rerun from July 14, 2024. This was just after the Butler Pensylvania assassination attempt on Donald Trump, so you'll hear some references to that throughout the show. You'll also hear a debate as to what constitutes Folk music which ultimately led me to create the "What the Folk?" feature that I do from time to time.
