Announcing Mushroom FM's new global call-in show, a Cuppa at the Mosens

This Thursday at 9 PM Eastern, Mushroom FM launches our new global call-in show, A Cuppa at the Mosens, hosted by Jonathan and Bonnie. This message tells you a bit about the show and what led up to it, as well as looking ahead to what you can expect on the first edition.

The Smorgasbord with Jonathan Mosen is back for 2017

My holidays are over and I’m back in the saddle again, re-energised and looking forward to another exciting year ahead.

The Smorgasbord is back with you on Mushroom FM every week day at 3 AM Eastern, 8 AM UK.

What is a smorgasbord, I hear you cry? Well, it’s really a fancy word for buffet. When you visit a smorgasbord, there’s usually a wide selection of food from which to choose. On Mushroom FM’s smorgasbord, I serve up plenty of tasty mushroom morsels from the 1950s through to the 1980s. It’s an eclectic mix of music with a healthy helping of friendly chat.

The Mosen Explosion brings cold fun in the summer time

Isn’t it funny how language keeps evolving? Recently in new Zealand, they’ve started talking about this weather phenomenon known as a “weather bomb”.

A Mosen Explosion Promotional Announcement, inspired by Sara Hillis

Yesterday I was revelling in my summer break, as you do, listening to the cricket and enjoying being totally immersed in books the rest of the time, when my phone went Ding! IN a languid manner befitting this time of year, I somewhat listlessly reached for my phone to investigate.

Join Jonathan for the first live Mosen Explosion of 2017

Let me start this little promotional message for this week’s show by making a startling, staggering, hither-to unrevealed and shocking revelation. I am not Steve Cutway. Yes it’s true, just repeating that news, I am not Steve Cutway.

Join Jonathan for the first Mosen Explosion for 2017

Another year of Mosen Explosion radio shows begins…soon! I don’t know how we get away with it, I tell you.

I’m unavailable to host the show live this week, it’s summer and all that, or rather, it’s at least supposed to be. But never fear. Even though the show isn’t live, there is indeed a full four-hour show, and it’s got lots in it! In fact if you turn it over, you’ll see all the ingredients written on the back!

You're invited to another new year's party at Mosen Towers

Even when on holiday, we’re beta testing at Mosen Towers. We just can’t help ourselves! This time every year, since the year seems to have a habit of ending on 31 December all the time, we bravely go where no one has gone before and test the new year for you. New Zealand sees in the new year a full 18 hours before it makes its way to the east coast of the United States, 21 hours before it makes it to the US west coast, and 13 hours before it gets to the UK! I mean dude, we are, like, so totally advanced.

All George Michael and Wham! on the next two editions of 80s Lady

In a year where we've lost many legends who contributed to 80s music, such as David Bowie, Glen Frey, Prince and more, George Michael died yesterday.

Bonnie will be paying tribute to him by playing nothing but music by George Michael, with and without Wham! on the next two editions of 80s lady, today and tomorrow.

If George Michael and Wham! were part of the soundtrack of your life, then do join us at 8 PM Eastern tonight and tomorrow night, and share your memories via the MushroomFm Twitter hashtag.

You're invited to a Mosen Family Christmas

As I write this post, a warm Christmas day in New Zealand is coming to an end. Tomorrow, it’ll be the day we call boxing day, but Christmas day will still be very much happening in the northern hemisphere.
