If you were listening to last week's show, or indeed some of my new week-day shows here on the 'Shroom, you will have heard that I have been stricken, stricken I tell you, but this crazy eye pain. It's not a common thing for me at all, and I don't like it, because it seems ridiculous to be pained by an organ that's totally dysfunctional and useless, because that makes me feel dysfunctional and useless.

It’s a red, white, and blue Bonair—Saturday 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. here on mushroomfm.com and in all your favourite music apps. As it’s the Fourth of July weekend in the States, we’ll have the usual Bonnie banter, talk about how to grill the perfect hamburger and hot dog, and play songs with red, white, or blue in the artist or song title along with other groovy grilling party tunes. So grab a cold one, and join this expat for two hours of great music and musing. If you’d like to contact the show, email bonnieatmushroomfm.com or tweet @bonniemosen.

Have you heard all of the cool new shows coming from our Mushroom Pot yet? It’s entering week three of service today. Based on measurements of traffic to our servers, it seems that many of you have discovered all the great new shows, and are listening longer. Thank you so much.

Hi everyone, it's with sadness but grateful thanks for his immense contribution that I advise the Mushroom FM family that Brian Hartgen has resigned from Mushroom Fm to pursue other projects. This is a totally amicable parting and we wish him all the best for the future.

When the Mosen Explosion goes to air this week, it'll be the 26th in our official time zone of US Eastern. But in little old New Zealand, it will be bright and early on the 27th. And by an incredible co-incidence, the 27th of June is the wedding anniversary of two regular contributors to the show. Remarkable how these things happen, eh? Bonnie is celebrating a wedding anniversary, which no doubt she will talk about in her Bonnie bulletin, and so too am I. How cool is that?

Sadly, for health and other personal reasons, Jeremy feels unable to continue to produce Say it with Jazz at the moment.

Those of us who've been loyal fans of Say It With Jazz have immense admiration for Jeremy's meticulous research and extremely high standard of presentation.

We'll miss having him around, and hope that his circumstances will allow him to join us again in future. We're glad he intends being a regular listener to the 'Shroom, so we'll all be able to keep in touch. Thanks Jeremy for your great contribution.

The Snowman Radio airs Saturday evening, from 8 to 11 PM eastern time.
As the program has developed, it has split into two major segments; one that is more focused on talk,and the other focused on the music. But, the talk segment has been in the middle of the program, dividing two major music segments.
My friend Steve has been joining me in the middle hour.
For some time now, I have had concern about how to satisfy what I see as two distinct audience segments, the talkers who aren't into the music, and those who don't want to hear all that talk.

It’s less than an hour away!
11pm Eastern, or 4am Sunday in the UK, or 3Pm Sunday here in New Zealand.
I’ll be opening the doors once more, with a four hour journey of music, and plenty of listener interaction ahead.
The triple threat and live and loud segments are back, and of course requests are welcome.

Look forward to seeing ya!

Here in New Zealand, the nights they are cold. Many of our days are wet and windy. Yup, it's winter. On the other side of the world, Brian D is getting ready to hold his annual summer party! What a lucky dude. It helps him get over the football you see. And it was on 19 June 1936 that Tommy DeVito of The Four Seasons was born. Oh what a night!

Hey hey hey! It’s Saturday and that means Bonair, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. EST here on mushroomfm.com and in all your fav music apps. I’ll be filling two hours with some great tunes, including some from the newly knighted Rod Stewart, and of course taking your requests. “Food for Thought” returns with a tasty Thai chicken curry recipe, and there will be the usual Bonnie banter to keep you entertained. I love hearing from listeners, so if you would like to contact the show, email bonnieatmushroomfm.com or tweet @bonniemosen.
