We're pleased to report that our outage is over, and our steam is once again pumping out the four decades of magic Mushroom memories for you. We look forward to you tuning back in.

The Mushroom Fm stream is experiencing an outage at present. We apologize for this, and appreciate your patience. Rest assured we get the issue resolved as soon as we possibly can.
Meanwhile, Mushroom Escape, our stream playing the best in radio drama and comedy, is unaffected, so do feel free to tune into that to experience the theater of the mind.

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the multiple talents of American rock band Chicago. We ask does anyone really know what time it is, discover that it is 25 or 6 to 4, and sing that I don't wanto live without your love.

Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is Tuesday morning in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is Wednesday evening in Eastern Australia. Tuning in is easy. Simply tell that SmartSpeaker of yours to play Mushroom FM, and you will be there faster than an AI agent can break into the Hugging Face web site.

Hello! Sara Hillis here to let you know that this week's episode of Come by the Hills is not, in fact, from this week. Instead, I have a show for you from September 28, 2025. I hope you'll find it interesting!

Catch Come by the Hills on Sunday at 8:00 PM Eastern, or check out the replay on Tuesday at 5:00 AM Eastern! Enjoy, and keep your dragons safe!

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.

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the singing and song writing talents of Neil Sadaka. We go laughing in the rain, say happy birthday sweet sixteen, and hear about bad blood.

Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is Tuesday morning where I live in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is Wednesday evening in Eastern Australia. Tuning in is easy. Just tell that SmartSpeaker of yours to play Mushroom FM and you will be there faster than you can say Mushroom FM is the home of the fun guys.
