This is just a quick note to let you know that Mushroom Escape is now back up and running on all the major platforms, includeing TuneIn, My Tuner Radio, OoTunes, etc. I want to sincerely thank everyone who has been so patient as we made this transition. I also want to sincerely thank Jonathan Mosen for keeping me advised every step of the way, for himself being very patient with me, and for his tremendous assistance in making Mushroom Escape what it is today. Finally, I want to thank Gordon Luke. His work with Mushroom Escape has been behind the scenes, but it has also been invaluable.

Hello again, Sara Hillis just popping round again to say that the show did indeed go on despite the server problems, and there is an archive of all three hours of it that can be found here. Thanks to all who hung in there and reassured me that they were indeed listening when we came back on the air! It was certainly an interesting night!

Thanks so much for your patience during the outage, we're back up and running again.

Unfortunately Mushroom Fm and Escape are down at present due to an outage with our server provider. They are communicating with us and aware of the issue, but at present we have no estimate as to when service will be restored.

We apologise for the issue and will let you know when we get more information.

Yes, Sara Hillis here once again to give you a wee taste of what's coming up on this week's episode of Mushroom FM's premier Folk and Celtic music show! First, we will be broadcasting from the shiny new server, which at this time last week was barely a gleam in the management's eye! (Well, it might have been at least a glimmer.) Also, we'll be playing a few songs in our first hour by a listener-recommended group from England called The Young'uns. We'll hear a sea shanty from tom Lewis, a song about maple syrup (at least tangentially,) and we'll fulfill some requests.

The doo-wops are playing and the harmony is swinging on the Doo-wop Corner, Sunday from 6: to 8: PM ET and Thursday mornings from 7: Am to 9: am ET.

Mushroom Escape should once again play properly on your Victor Reader Stream or Trek, no matter which way you look for it. Thank you very much for your patience in this regard.

Deep Dive this week examines the long and fruitful career of country and western artist Willie Nelson. We here of all the girls he's loved before, warn mother's not to let their babies grow up to be cowboys, and are always on my mind.

Join me at 4 PM Eastern Monday, 8 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, 10 PM in Eastern Australia.

The Juke In The Back” focuses on the “soul that came before rock n’ roll,” the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.

So What's Going On, Anyway?
As Jonathan explained in a previous blog entry, Mushroom FM has switched to a new streaming service. This offers several behind-the-scene benefits to us here at the station, and necessitated some changes to be made. On Friday, Mushroom Escape followed suit and cut over to the new service as well.
