It was 10 years ago, on 4 March 2012, that a Mushroom FM listener named Bonnie Lannom co-hosted the Mosen Explosion I was doing live from Boston, where I was visiting for work. We often wonder how different our lives would have been if she had been doing something else that day, or I had decided to do the show solo. Few couples of fortunate enough to have such a detailed recording of their first proper conversation, but we still have that show, and listen to it occasionally.

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the wonderful songwriting and vocal talents of Suzanne Vega. We hear the sad story of Luka, meet Marlene on the wall and enjoy calypso.

Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is 8 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 10 PM in eastern Australia. Simply tell your smart speaker to play mushroom FM and you will be there.

We have lots of welsh-language songs, some English-language songs about Welsh life, and we've even got Harry Secombe and Mary Hopkin! What more could you want? The show isn't live today, but I'm with you in spirit through the miracles of modern technology.

Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you about this week's iminent and impending episode of Come by the Hills! Today, as well as playing some other very cool tunes, we'll be featuring some songs by one of my very favourite Canadian musicians, Loreena McKennitt. It was her birthday on Thursday, so I thought it would be nice to spend a little time with her, musically speaking, throughout the show. If you have any requests for Loreena's music, feel free to send them in via Email or Twitter.

We've got lots of songs about love for Valentine's Day: songs by Stan Rogers, Nancy Griffith, Mary Black and Meg Davis among others. It'll be a great show full of hearts and flowers, and well, perhaps a little blood. This is a Folk show, after all.

Flowers, chocolates, and a special edition of the Mosen Explosion for Valentine's Day. Perfect, especially if rona restrictions are limiting your dining choices this year.

On Monday, it's all love songs, and I would love to get requests or dedications for the special person in your life. Declaring your love on global Internet radio? I mean dude! That is an epic way to show someone you care.
