Mushroom FM brings you four decades of magic Mushroom memories, with a few great special shows in the mix too. At work, home or on the move, there's always great programming to keep you company. Many of our shows are presented by our team of Fun Guys. With a number of these, you can interact with the presenter by Email or social media, and you should get a quick response on air. We call these shows "Interactive", and they are shown as such in the schedule below.
The start of each day is denoted by a new Heading. Each day is contained within its own Table. When there's no scheduled show, we're still here, every hour of every day, playing our great mix of music, thanks to our cool computer we call the Mushroom Pot. This allows you to request songs for adding to the mix.
