begin a new rockumentary here on Mushroom FM. Having been in Britain for some time with our Beatles and British Invasion rocumentaries, we're going across the pond for an in-depth look at one of the most influential performers of the 20th century.

The Elvis Presley story was originally produced after extensive research in 1971. After Elvis's death in 1977, it was updated, and re-released. And it's that version that we'll be playing over the next seven weeks.

The Blind Side is Mushroom FM's daily current affairs show from a blindness perspective.

On Friday's show, he's a dad, a husband, has been advocating for disability and minority rights all his life, and is a former Disability Discrimination Commissioner in Australia. Graeme Innes has made an outstanding contribution to blindness and disability advocacy, and he's just written a memoir, "Finding a Way". Graeme talks with Jonathan Mosen about his life and work.

And there's plenty of technology news happening just now, so we'll finish the week with a good helping of that.

Today, we spend a bit of time in the southern hemisphere. On 9 August, Australia is conducting their census, held every five years. How can blind people participate in the process fully and accessibly?

Happy anniversary! Yes, it's only The Blind Side's second day on air, but today's the big day for Windows users as Microsoft starts rolling out the much anticipated Windows 10 anniversary update.

This is a significant update with many new features and even more minor tweaks. So what can you expect? If you've been holding out on making the leap to Windows 10, is now the time to take the plunge?

The Blind Side, our current affairs show from a blindness perspective, airs every week day at 7 Pm Eastern time. There's a lot of excitement about finally having a daily show where our issues can be discussed and debated in a timely manner.

That excitement was slightly diminished for some of our UK audience, who wrote in after the announcement to say that they wanted to hear the show, but wouldn't be able to because of the time it was airing.

That’s right, I’m back again for the last time this month. Can’t believe August is just around the corner.
From 11pm Eastern tonight, that’s 4am Sunday in the UK, and 3pm Sunday in good old New Zealand, it’ll be four hours of fun, music, and of course the usual features.

I had to do it! I had to find a way to get "malarkey" into the show description this week after Joe Biden got it trending on Twitter. And it's not difficult, because you can always guarantee that the Mosen Explosion will present four hours of malarkey.

Beware! It’s Bonair Saturday 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. EST right here on Mushroomfm.com and in all your fav music apps. There are no political conventions this week—only the Monday morning quarterbacking, so I will share my own thoughts, along with playing your requests. In “Food for Thought” you will learn about a healthy recipe for shepherd’s pie, a wintertime favourite in the UK and the commonwealth. So cozy up to the computer with the ac or heat pump blasting and enjoy two hours of your life you won’t regret.
