My apologies, being in holiday mode meant that I made a mistake with the start time of our new year show from New Zealand for those in the UK. It actually begins at 8 AM UK time on new year's eve, not 7 as I said previously. It is still on at 3 AM Eastern, 9 PM here in NZ.

We’ve been tested, we’ve been stressed and we’ve been challenged. But 2021 is about to be done, and it’s all brand new in 2022.

In the 23 years I’ve been doing live Internet radio, new year shows have been a common feature. In fact, my very first live Internet radio show was a new year party in 1998. While I haven’t done a new year show every year, it has become something of a tradition and this will be the 13th consecutive live new year show from Mosen Towers.

Hello again and a very merry Christmas to you! Sara Hillis here to let you know about all the festive fun coming up on the Christmas Day edition of Come by the Hills!

We'll spend A Child's Christmas in Wales with Dylan Thomas, hear lots of great Christmas carols and songs, and generally have a jolly time.

You'll hear some great tunes from Anne Murray, Barenaked Ladies, Kenny Rogers, Matthew West, and so much more! Of course, you'll also get the friendly banter you've come to know and love from me as well!

It’s December 25th, and I’m super excited to be able to spend three hours of my Christmas with everyone! The Country Christmas Special has always been my favorite show to do each year, and this year I’ve got a few new ideas in store for everyone.

Along with good old classic country Christmas tunes, I’ve got some new ones on the playlist. Has Bruce been naughty or nice this year? Will he be receiving coal or something else in his stocking?

At 4 PM North American Eastern Time on Christmas eve, we'll be well into Christmas day in New Zealand. it will already be 10 AM. If you'd like some company over Christmas, please feel free to join Jonathan, Bonnie, Heidi, Richard and Richard's partner Nadia as we say hi and bring you some great Christmas tunes and stories. It's all part of the all-holiday line-up the fun guys have put together for you this year on Mushroom Fm.

For many of us, radio plays an important part in our lives at this time of year. For those fortunate to be surrounded by those near and ear to us, radio can provide an entertaining soundtrack to the festivities. For those on their own, radio can provide companionship and the comfort of a familiar voice.

Mushroom FM has a block of continuous holiday content that lasts right through Christmas eve and Christmas day. Many of your favourite fun guys will be here with special Christmas programming

From this Saturday at 12am Eastern, that’s 6pm Saturday in NZ, 4pm in Sydney and 5am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movies It’s a Wonderful Life from 1946, A Christmas Carol from 1984 and Santa’s Workshop from 1932.
It's a Wonderful Life is a 1946 American Christmas fantasy drama film produced and directed by Frank Capra, based on the short story and booklet The Greatest Gift, which Philip Van Doren Stern self-published in 1943 and is in turn loosely based on the 1843 Charles Dickens novella A Christmas Carol.

Thanks for being a part of another amazing virtual party experience when we counted down the top 100 holiday songs that you voted for.

If you couldn't catch some or all of the fun, we are going to replay the countdown in full on Christmas day between 2 AM and noon Eastern time. We do this so that if the countdown was on at a difficult time zone for you when it aired live, hopefully this replay time will suit you better.
