It's a September 2025 Encore, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello! It's Sara Hillis here to let you know that on this week's episode of Come by the Hills, we'll be revisiting September 14, 2025. Among other things, it memorializes what was at the time the eighth anniversary of the sudden death of my friend Shannon Marie Smith in 2017. As the ninth anniversary is approaching and as I am unable to do the show live this weekend, I thought this would be appropriate. Don't worry!

After you've enjoyed The Variety Vault with Paul Merrell, Wednesday afternoon from 2 to 4 PM, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac, smart speaker or tablet and join me for The Early Years, where and when you'll hear the best music from the first quarter century of Rock with nods to other decades and genres.

Deep Dive is rollin' down the river

This week on Deep Dive, through a covid-times archive programme, we feature the talents of American swamp rock band Credence clearwater revival. We hear it on the grapevine, sing about a bad moon risin' and catch the midnight special.

Simply ask that SmartSpeaker of yours to play Mushroom FM, and you will be there faster than you can walk to down on the corner.

King Donald Visits The Snowman's Studio

He told us he would give us an endorsement, so we trustingly opened a microphone to him, only to find out that the so-called endorsement wasn't exactly what we anticipated. We don't know if it was actually the real King Donald, all hyped up on diet Coke, or just Steve Cutway imitating him. But, in any event it was shocking, and a blazing New York Complement. Fortunately, a federal judge is likely to over-rule him, and invalidate the whole damned thing. So all will be well that will end well.
