Hello from a cold and snowy Canada! Sara Hillis here with your latest Come by the Hills update! This week, the Folk and Celtic music show on Mushroom FM will be devoted to the songs and poetry of Robert Burns, Scotland's national poet, whose birthday in celebrated in many places around the world on January 25th. Due to an unavoidable scheduling conflict, I'll be replaying last year's Robbie Burns special from January 26th, 2025. I hope you'll enjoy it!

Hello! Sara Hillis here to let you know about the upcoming episode of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic music show. This week, I've got a great mix of Folk-type music for your enjoyment. I believe that music is medicine, and there are studies which seem to bear this idea out. So, in the spirit of finding healing and fighting against the darkness which seems to be closing in from every side lately, I hope we can come together for some good music and good fun.

Happy New Year! Sara Hillis here to let you know that Come by the Hills and Sara smiles are both back this week after the holidays! Come by the Hills comes your way tonight with a brand new live show, and Sara Smiles returns on Monday! I hope everyone had a great holiday, and I wish you all the best in the coming year!

Hello! Sara Hillis here to let you know my holiday plans! Well, okay, not quite my holiday plans, but my plan regarding my contributions to Mushroom FM during this holiday season.

I know the schedule says that there will be a single Sara Smiles at midnight Eastern on Christmas Eve, but this will not be the case. Tomorrow, December 23rd, will be the final Sara Smiles for 2025. We'll be talking Festivus with the cast of Seinfeld and playing the usual tunes from all four decades of Magic Mushroom Memories, with a few holiday things in the mix as well.

Greetings! It's me, Sara Hillis, and I come before you in my Folk and Celtic music show host's hat, which at this season of the year is festooned with festive decorations galore, to present to you the Come by the Hills Christmas special! At last, it's here! I've got carols, modern Christmas classics, spoken word and even a little festive silliness! So I hope you'll tune in if you have a mind, especially since this is the final new Come by the Hills episode for 2025! I'll have a rerun next week, and then it will be a whole new year!

We had a great countdown yesterday with lots of interactive fun and frolic, and of course the songs! If you missed any of the countdown or just want to see how a particular choice of yours might have performed, the chart is now live in 2025! Simply go to the same page you used for voting, and you'll find every song listed along with their positions in the countdown!

Finally! WE are only hours away from the 2025 edition of the Mushroom fM Holiday Countdown! The people have chosen and now the fun is about to begin!
