Sara Hillis here to tell you that we've got a positively cracking Celtic show this week! We're honouring all things Welsh as the show is being aired on March 1, which is St. David's Day in Wales. We've got lots of Welsh music, and the best part is that I'll be using a braille display this week so I can read the Welsh titles and artists correctly, or well, more correctly than I can using my screen reader by itself. I've never done this before in a broadcasting situation, so join me as I break what is for me new technological ground live on air!

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.

And after The Mosen Explosion comes to an end tomorrow, join me for The Early Years where you'll hear the best music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades and genres.
Something old and something new but nothing borrowed or blue this week. Between June 10 and September 30, 2018, I did five shows featuring "jaw-dropping songs" and you've heard four of them.

This show has been going on in some form or other for well over 20 years now, but this is the first time it’s ever been on a leap day! And just think, if we were still on Sundays like we were this time last year before my job change, we’d have missed out again. So what a worthy thing to celebrate!

When I welcomed back the Mushroom FM New Zealand contingent after its Summer break a month ago, I suggested that my time for a break might be coming. I didn't know it would be so soon but I'm taking February off. As a result, there will be no completely new shows this month but fear not friends, because you'll still be entertained.

Greetings fellow music travelers.

This week's journey through The Depths will be our last one together for a while as I will be going on indefinite hiatus to take care of some work and family things.

For our final trip together for a while, I have some special features planned.

Sara Hillis just popping in to say that I'm not able to be present for a live edition of Come by the Hills this Sunday, but you've got an encore presentation from last July to keep you company. It's full of interesting music and fun banter as usual, and if you were busy on July 14, 2019 and couldn't hear it then, well, here's your chance!
