On A Cuppa at the Mosens, Prejudice. Are blind people better people?

We sometimes meet people, some of them blind, who suggest that there’s a real advantage to being blind. Specifically, we’re likely to be less judgmental, less discriminatory, about visual factors that we can’t see. Proponents of this view argue that because we can’t see the colour of someone’s skin, we’re more likely to make assessments based on the content of their character. We don’t, it is said, no so readily whether someone’s short or tall, fat or thin, the quality of their clothes. This makes us, so the argument goes, more tolerant people.

Back to our old tricks in chatpers 4, 5, and 6, The Mosen Explosion

Every day, every day, every day, every day I write the book. Oh baby! But I’m taking a wee break from writing the book to bring you another thoroughly forgettable edition of the jolly old Mosen Explosion at 2 Pm Eastern, 7 PM in the Kingdom of U.

It’s hosted by me, Jonathan Mosen, the man of whom the famous Anthony Scaramucci, AKA “the mooch” said, “Mosen’s nothing but a paranoid souping soup drinker and a Baker Street lover, out to tap his own cane and we should explode the whole communications team”. Dude, such language!

On a Cuppa at the Mosens, does Government have a role in levelling the disability playing field?

As we publish this message, Americans are celebrating the 27th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act’s passage. It’s widely considered to be ground-breaking civil rights legislation, and has inspired similar legislation in numerous countries. But few would argue that we still don’t have a long way to go until we reach equality of opportunity.

On The Mosen Explosion, it's the ones you can't get that are the most attractive

The Mosen Explosion is back for another forgettable four hours on the jolly old Mushroom FM.

On A Cuppa at the Mosens, is technology life changing for the blind, or over-sold?

With both US blindness conventions having concluded, we’re hoping for a bumper crop of listeners with interesting opinions calling into our global talk show this week.

We love a good NFB banquet address, and enjoy sitting together to listen to it intently. We don’t always agree with everything in every address, but we enjoy the care that is always taken to craft a cogent argument that makes us think.

On The Mosen Explosion, you say you want a resolution?

Whereas, Mushroom FM is an Internet radio station providing content primarily featuring music from the 1950s through to the 1980s; and

Whereas, individuals presenting radio shows on the station are colloquially known as “fun guys”; and

Whereas, the quality of the presentations of all but one of the “fun guys” is favourably commented upon by many; and

Open lines, open forum, this week on A Cuppa at the Mosens

If you heard last week’s show, the first to use Zoom Cloud Meetings, you’ll know that technically, it was a huge success. If you haven’t learned yet about our new ways to participate in Mushroom FM’s live call-in show, check out the show’s web page, http://MushroomFM.com/cuppa.

Later today, we're off to the parade. You can join us!

Two weeks ago today, New Zealand yelled with delight and sighed with relief, as we finally won the America's Cup back. This yachting trophy is the oldest prize in world sport, dating back to 1851.

Now New Zealanders are turning out all over the country to see the team and the Cup.

We love a good America's Cup victory parade, and a challenging technical task. So we're combining them, as Mushroom FM seeks, for the first time, to bring you live coverage of an outdoor event, streaming to our servers directly from an iPhone over 4G.

Exploding on the eve of a bold Mushroom Fm broadcast

The Mosen Explosion is back again, because, frankly, it’s so hard to get quality programming these days so what can we do?

It’s school holidays here in the Zealand of New, so if we can get either of the teenage bananas in residence awake in time, we may well here live banana updates. There is a lot of interesting banana news floating around at the moment.

The Smorgasbord says "Happy birthday Ringo"

I'm Jonathan Mosen, and every week day, I'm playing a wide variety of tunes, and chatting about this and that, at 3 AM Eastern time, that's 8 AM in the UK.
My Friday show is a special one, because it's Ringo Starr's birthday. He's turning 77 on 07/07. Golly!
So the smorgasbord is completely dedicated to Ringo, featuring music from him with the Beatles and on his own.
So celebrate with Ringo and me on the Smorgasbord, only on Mushroom FM.
