Hi everyone, we're pleased to say that our streaming server provider has resolved it's issue and we're back up and running ready to entertain you. Thanks for your patience.

Hi everyone, it's Jonathan letting you know that at present, Mushroom FM is off the air. This is due to an outage with the provider of our streaming media servers, which is the last link in the chain that sees what we broadcast making it to you.

All our own systems over which we have control are working perfectly. This means that once the issue is resolved by our streaming server provider, everything should return to normal by itself. That's good, since it's late in the evening here in New Zealand and it's time to get some rest.

Affter you've enjoyed Mosen At Large, Mushroom FM's premier opinion show, this afternoon from 02:00 to 05:00, during which I hope all your questions get answered and all your opinions get heard, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac or smart speaker and join me in The Early Years where and when you'll enjoy the best music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades and genres.

Laura Nyro is the topic this week, as Steve joins the Snowman in the first hour. We'll hear some of her original music, some covers, and learn some interesting things about her. We'll hear Laura-related comments as well from Todd Rundgren and Alice Cooper. All that plus the usual fun and games, plus the best music of the 60s and 70s. The fun starts at 8PM eastern, 7 central, Saturday night on MushroomFM.com.

Kia ora Mosen At Largers.
