JonathanMosen's blog

As we blogged earlier this week, Mushroom FM is preparing to begin a new era with more fresh content so you can listen longer. That also means that we’re able to stream a lot more information through the title bar of your media player, and the Now Playing screen in many smartphone apps. TuneIn Radio will also show you what’s on more often, even before you start listening.

Well, at least it is for the two hours following Anne's escapade into the 80s this week, because Bonnie Mosen is indisposed due to the last leg of the triple crown.

Her obedient understudy, Jonathan Modem, is here instead. And I've decided that I should change my name for this show. So from 6 Pm Eastern, for just two hours, my name shall be Phillip in, or Phil in for short.

Next Monday, Apple’s Worldwide developers conference begins with a big reveal. We’ll find out about many of the key new features in iOS 10, the operating system for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch that will be released later in the year. We’ll learn about the name and feature set of the next version of the operating system for the Mac, which may even get a new name. There may be software announcements pertaining to Apple Watch and Apple TV, and who knows what other surprises Apple may have in store.

This blog post announces a significant new chapter for Mushroom FM, taking us in a direction we’ve not travelled before. It may be considered a radical new direction, so I’d like to take some time to explain to our loyal mushroom crowd what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and why we think that you’ll be glad we’re doing it.

It feels like it's a long weekend every other week somewhere. But finally, it's New Zealand's turn. Major squee!
One is celebrating Queen's Birthday Weekend here, as one does on the first Monday in June every year. So it seems like a great opportunity to dust off those Queen albums and make Freddy and the boys one's featured artists on this week's Mosen Explosion. No one ever got fired for playing Queen tracks, one tells you, so one hopes that one is safe for another week.

Yeah we've got the tunes mates, we've got the tunes.
The shows when mark Wilson puts in an appearance are always very popular, and he's back on this week's Mosen Explosion. The keyboard's connected to the mixer, the microphone is set up behind the keyboard in case Mark bursts into song, and we're ready to go live with the tunes. All we need now are your requests. Drop me an email to jonathan at mushroomfm dot com and let us know what you'd like to hear on the piano from Mark.

What? Talking about the Mosen Explosion already? I tell you we're just super duper organised.

It's a highly up-scale Mosen Explosion this week. Yup, if you've been reading my posts on Facebook and Twitter, you'll know that it's been a hella dramatic week at Mosen Towers. If you've been fortunate enough to have missed my Twitter and Facebook posts, well you can tune into the Mosen Explosion this week and get the full scoop on the case of the smart scale destruction.

Another Mosen Explosion time has nearly rolled around again. "Hip hurray! Hip hurray! We're back on Mushroom FM...Hip hip hip hurray!" Oh wait, I can't do that, it's being done elsewhere i tell you.
Anyway, the thing is, the thing is you see that it's a busy old month at Mosen Towers because three out of the four bananas have birthdays in May. Sometimes, I wonder what could have possibly caused that, but the doctor told me that if I think about that too much, I'd go blind.
So we have some banana-birthday related activity to report on the show this week.

Holy soup! That week went by quickly, and once again I am much anticipating the four fun hours I get to spend in your company, as the Mosen Explosion takes to the mighty Mushroom's virtual airwaves.

We've got a great mix of wacky news stories this week, including two from Maine, which isn't a state we hear from that often.
