Well that got your attention now didn’t it? And rightly so. It’s that time of year again when the San Francisco Lighthouse is calling for applications for its Holman Prize for blind ambition. Any blind person throughout the world can apply and you could be awarded up to $25,000. I’ll be joined on The Mosen Explosion this week by Lee Kumutat, the San Francisco Lighthouse’s new Director of Communications to tell us all about the prize, what kind of entries float the boats of judges, and how you can apply.

Jaw-dropping songs this week on The Early Years!

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.
When I welcomed back the Mushroom FM New Zealand contingent a couple of weeks ago, I suggested that my time for a break might be coming. I didn't know it would be so soon but I've decided to take February off. As a result, there will be no new shows this month but fear not, friends, because you'll still be entertained.

This week, live on The Mosen Explosion, can I just get my money back?

Once again that happy time has rolled around when I’ll be with you for three hours of fun, conversation and great music on The Mosen Explosion. The show also forms the basis of the Mosen At Large Podcast, so if you want to influence the podcast in real time and watch it as it’s recorded live, do join us on Mushroom FM.

This week has been a remarkable one for news, with senators in the US making a sham out of their constitutional duty and Britain finally leaving the EU. I’ll be commenting on both events and the common lesson they can teach us.
