G'day everyone.

This week on Damo's all day breakfast I'll be demonstrating Peanut, but not the salted variety, or peanuts in their shells. After all, who needs or wants a demo of either of those.
Peanut is an Amateur Radio app which runs on an Android or Windows device, and allows you to access a number of digital Ham Radio services without a radio. what makes this demo slightly unique, is that I'll be demonstrating using a BrailleSense Polaris note-taker. I may even enter, all be it briefly, into the great note-taker vs Braille display debate.

If you are a Carpenters fan, you definitely will want to catch the Snowman's next show. On July 25, we will be airing a special report on the carpenters, including some very interesting interviews. Steve will be joining the snowman, and Steve has prepared a special report for us that you will find fascinating. And, we'll also play lots of Carpenters music in that first hour.
All the cool stuff starts right at the top of the show, at 8PM eastern on saturday night. So, don't be late.

This week Deep Dive features Sydney and Australian band Mental As Anything. We hear about staying up way too late Too Many Times, a concern that the Nips Are Getting Bigger, and we Live It Up.

I saw this band playing in Sydney pubs before they were well known and really enjoy their music. I'm keen to share it with you.

Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, 8 PM in Eastern Australia.

Tune into The Dusty Attic every Monday on Mushroom Escape. It is the program on which we feature the golden age of radio. It is heard at midnight, 4AM, 8AM, noon, 4PM and 8PM Eastern Time.

Hello again! Sara Hillis here to let you know that Come by the Hills won't be live on Sunday night, but will instead be revisiting our Spirit of the West special, originally aired on November 24, 2019, in which we honoured this great Canadian band and their lead singer John Mann, who died on November 20, 2019, due to early-onset Alzheimer's Disease. He wrote provocative songs and was not afraid to have an opinion, and oh yes, his music was often tinged with that lovely Celtic sound.
