It’s Jonathan Mosen back with another edition of Small World, the kids’ programme for the whole family. I’ve delved into our huge Small World…or is it small huge world??? No, no, it’s definitely huge Small World collection, and I have another two great hours of family entertainment for you.

You’ll hear the classics fiddled with like you’ve never heard them fiddled with before.

I’ll play you a couple of bedtime stories, but you have to promise me to try not to fall asleep or I’ll get lonely!

We meet a whale who has some big and unusual dreams.

After you've enjoyed Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 to 05:00, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac or smart speaker and join me in The Early Years where and when 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.

Hello! Sara Hillis here to let you know that your folkish fix is back for another week with Come by the Hills! Yes, once again, I've got three hours of the best in Folk and Celtic music, a couple of songs to usher in the impending Autumnal Equinox here in the Northern Hemisphere, and another teaser from the as-yet-unreleased second volume of the Joni Mitchell Archives.

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the wonderful music of Abba, including a track from their new album. We have a dream, lay all your love on me, and take a chance on me. We hear about the band, and how they got their name.

So tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or alternatively at 6 AM Wednesday Eastern, which is 8 PM in Eastern Australia. Simply approach your SmartThing and give it the good words play Mushroom FM and it will whisk you there faster than you can say her serene highness Princess Anni-Fride.

Much has been written about the great R&B vocal groups of the 1950s.

Hello! Sara Hillis here, back from my crazy novelling weekend with a brand new episode of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show!

It’s Jonathan Mosen back with another edition of Small World, the kids’ programme for the whole family. And what an adventure-filled programme we have for you this week.

FAB! The Thunderbirds are taking us on another adventure. Art Gilmore is back, this time to tell us a very ancient story. If you’re very good and eat all your vegetables, I might just take you to the zoo and introduce you to some animals.

Well, it's that time of year again: every year for I don't know how long, Bruce Toews has done a Weird Al special sometime in August or September. It will be happening again this year.
