We have had such an amazing response to our first two shows in this new series of Small World, that it sent all the important people into an important conference! And at the important conference, the important people had an important conversation. Then they made an important decision that having a kids’ programme for the whole family was so important, and that it was important that we listen when people are crying out for more, so it was considered important that Small World now run for not one hour, but two! Holy jumping jellyfish!

this week, as the title suggests, we're talking sailing ships and sailing men on the all day breakfast. That's because Marion and I had a tour of a working sailing ship last weekend, and because my latest project is to find a way to skipper my own fishing boat eyes-free. I'll tell you all about both of these things during the show. I also share a recipe which I'm calling Mike's Green Chicken Curry, and there's the usual mix of great music and friendly chat.

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 Goblet of Fire from 2005 and Pinocchio from 1940

Kia ora Mosen at Largers.

We have a lovely, eclectic mix of things to talk about this week with contributions from people in all four corners of the circular globe.

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.

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the beautiful voice and songwriting talents of Peter Cetera. We hear about the next time I fall, learn that it's hard to say I'm sorry and ask have you ever been in love.

To enjoy Deep Dive, tune in at 4 PM Monday Eastern, which is 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 8 PM in Eastern Australia. Simply ask your SmartThing to take you to Mushroom FM and I'll but there.

Yes, you heard it right. After a couple of reboots, a fire alarm in our apartment building, and some other jiggery-pokery, I have managed to get the computer to behave as I want it to, so we're live after all! Join me at 8:00 PM Eastern for all the Canada Day fun, or catch the replay on Friday at 4:00 AM Eastern. The archive link still applies at: http://www.mushroomfm.com/sarahillis. However and whenever you listen, enjoy! I know I will!

Hello there! Sara Hillis here to tell you that instead of the brand spanking new Canada Day episode I had planned for today’s show, we’ll be dipping into the archives with last year’s version. There is a long and stress-laden story behind this decision involving a rather ill-conceived plan to back up my files to Dropbox and the consequences of that plan, so rather than risk the computer shutting down in the middle of the show, I thought the encore presentation would be the way to go. If I can fix everything I broke by next week, I’ll be back with you live as usual.
