In days of yore, Come By the Hills used to air on Sunday nights. For this reason, we didn't air the first edition of Sara Smiles at midnight going into Monday morning. Now that you can hear Come By the Hills on Saturday afternoons in its new time slot, we have the chance to make Sara's show consistent with the rest of our shows that air every week day, where you hear it first in the AM Eastern time, with a chance to catch it again on the PM.

Michael Godin is taking a well-earned break this week, so we'll have a Mushroom FM request stop in the Treasure Island Oldies slots both today and Saturday.

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the fantastic sound of long-running band Chicago. We learn what happens at twenty-five or six to four, ask if anybody really knows what time it is, and discover hard habbits to break.

Join me for this show at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 8 PM in Eastern Australia. Just ask your SmartThing to play Mushroom FM and it will whisk you there in a trice.

The Juke In The Back” focuses on the “soul that came before rock n’ roll,” the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.

Hello! Sara Hillis here at last to tell you about this week's upcoming adventure on Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show! We've got songs about weddings, songs about boats, songs about crows and foxes, and even more than that! So join me on our three-hour journey (hopefully not a three-hour tour as we know how those end!) today at 2:00 PM Eastern when I'll be live!

On Mushroom Escape on Sunday starting at Midnight Eastern and repeated at 4, 8, 12, 4 and 8, I’m back with a fresh edition of Small World, the kids’ programme for the whole family. Can you simply not wait to hear what’s in store? Well since you’ve been very good this week, I’ll give you a few hints.

Did you know that if a tune is played badly enough, it might run away? Well it might, so we’ll tell you about a little tune that ran away and hear a wee song about some musicians.

Affter you've enjoyed Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 to 05:00, 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.
A single decade is represented this week, the 60s, as I begin the countdown of the top 100 of 1961 compiled by Billboard magazine. I'll start at #100 and get to #75.

From this Saturday at 12am Eastern, that’s 4pm Saturday in NZ, 2pm in Sydney and 5am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movies Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 from 2010 and The Muppet Christmas Carol from 1992.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 is a 2010 fantasy film directed by David Yates and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.
It is the first of two cinematic parts based on J. K. Rowling's 2007 novel of the same name and the seventh instalment in the Harry Potter film series.

The Juke In The Back” focuses on the “soul that came before rock n’ roll,” the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.
