Hello everyone, the provider of some of our systems have advised us that they need to perform emergency maintenance. This will mean that Mushroom FM's streams will go offline sometime between 9 PM and midnight on 9 October.
It's estimated that the down-time should be no more than five to 30 minutes.
We'll be monitoring the situation to ensure service is restored as soon as it's possible for us to do so.
Thanks for your patience, and all your support of Mushroom FM.

Sadly, Bob Kanish is unavailable to descend with us to the depths today, so I hope you will join me for a special to celebrate the 75th anniversary of John Lennon's birth. It's three hours of Beatles and John Lennon music, and you're welcome to have a say in what is played. If you have any special memories associated with John or the Beatles, do feel free to share them. You can drop me an email or send me a tweet.
The show is on at 9 PM Eastern.

Love to read? Always wanted to be a part of a book club, but never had the time, or the club you joined was one of those—you know, Ivy Leaguers in tweed with their whiskey and cigars? Well, the fun guys at mushroomfm understand your dilemma and are launching the Fun Guys virtual book club. Coordinated by Brian Dalton and Bonnie Mosen, each month a presenter or listener will select a book which represents the diverse taste of Mushroom FM’s listeners and presenters. We'll let people know the name of each month's book via the usual Mushroom FM announcement channels.

We are delighted to be exploding once again from the windy city. A few cities around the world call themselves that, Chicago for one. But I think Wellington may be the windiest national capital around. And boy, it's getting horrifically windy out there! Couple all this horrifically windy horrific wind with some explosive fun, and you can be sure we'll be blowing the cobwebs away.
We have a bumper banana report addition this week, with two bananas and one honorary banana who always brings cookies when she visits. She needs to visit more often, that's what she needs to do!

9 October would have been John Lennon's 75th birthday. A complex and highly nuanced individual, John became one of the most significant composers and performers in the history of music. His birthday and his legacy is certainly worthy of recollection and celebration.
I'll be doing that with two shows in the coming week on Mushroom FM.

As I’m sitting here writing this, it’s Saturday morning here in New Zealand.
I’m contemplating , life, the universe, and how good this bottle of Martian water tastes like…
Hang on, what?
Martian water?
Uh oh, it’s happening again.
I don’t like quiet sheds, and makes me say and do strange things.
Only last night, I tried singing, at the top of my voice, “Fish heads, fish head, roly poly, fish heads, fish heads, eat them up yum!”
Eat them up, yum? I hate fished heads.
It all keeps adding up, I think I’m cracking up.

When I married Jonathan, I promised in sickness and in health, so I will keep the same promise with Bonair—this Tuesday 9:00 – 11:00 p.m. EST on mushroomfm.com and in all your fav music apps. Despite a voice reminiscent of one of those diner waitresses, you know the ones, “Coffee hon. And the need to drink tea every five minutes to combat the dreadful taste of cough medicine, I will be here to play your requests and entertain you with some lively banter.
Greetings, One and All! After last week's vocal disappearance act, Paskell's back!

It's the show that's way beyond compare. Two hours of the Beatles together and separately, plus plenty of Beatles news and history. That's how we roll on Beatle Beat.
This week, two features from this week in Beatles history on the telly. Back in 1964, the Beatles recorded in England for a TV show that was only broadcast in the US. We'll play you that performance.
And in the second hour, John and George take questions from iconic British interviewer David Frost and the studio audience in 1967, as they discuss meditation.
