Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is 8 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 10 PM in Eastern Australia. Simply ask your SmartSpeaker to play Mushroom FM and it will whisk you there.

A Wee Change of Plans, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Just a few short hours ago, I promised you a live Robbie Burns special this week on Come by the Hills. I've had to change this due to a sudden social engagement which will be happening on Saturday. Therefore, instead of a live Burns special, I'll be presenting an encore Burns special from the archives, this time from January 22, 2022. Of course, this means that some of the promos will be out of date, so do keep that in mind and check the Mushroom FM schedule for your slightly changed Saturday evening lineup!

It's the Robbie Burns Special, this Week on Come by the Hills!

The time has come again for the annual Robbie Burns celebration on Come by the Hills! We'll have three hours of songs and poetry written or collected by the man himself, as well as many other Scottish songs in honour of the national poet of Scotland. We'll also hear a little about burns's life, pipe in the haggis, of course, and generally have a bonnie time! So why not tak a wee dram and join me live from the seventh floor!

This week, the Mosen Explosion is back from hiatus

The time has finally come when the Mosen Explosion is back from hiatus. First, I’ve had a phenomenal response to the replays of the COVID lockdown shows that we’ve been running while the Mosen Explosion was taking a summer break. I don’t normally listen to my own soup, since I had to put up with listening to it when I did it, but like many people I did take a listen to some of the shows and it was great to be reminded of how the show brought us together during an unsettling and uncertain time. I’m so glad that so many enjoyed hearing them again.

Songs about the Sun, the Moon and the Stars, this Week on Come by the Hills!

I have no special reason for showcasing the sun, the moon and the stars this week on Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show, but searching for those words in my database of music has yielded some interesting results. so, while there will be a couple of departures from those main themes, that's what this week's show is about. It comes to you in just a few short hours, live from the seventh floor!

also, a heads-up about next week's show, which will be our annual Robbie Burns celebration. If you have any Burns-related requests, do let me know in the usual ways.

2023 themes continue this week on the Early Years!

After you've enjoyed Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 PM to 05:00 PM, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac, smart speaker or tablet and join me for The Early Years, where and when you'll hear the best music from the first quarter century of the Rock and Roll era with occasional nods to other decades and genres.
This week, I will continue my look back at the themes I did in 2023 and play two or three songs from each one from May 6 to the end of the year.
