To enjoy the program simply tell your smart speaker to play mushroom FM at 4 PM Monday Eastern, which is 6 AM in eastern Australia on Tuesday. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 8 PM on Wednesday in eastern Australia.

We've got a few long songs in honour of the longest day of the year which is just passed in the Northern Hemisphere, a few Buffy Sainte-Marie songs to honour the recently passed National Indigenous Peoples Day here in Canada, and a lot more great music besides! We've even got a few jugs of punch to wet your whistle, tin or otherwise.
