The show airs at 9 AM Eastern and replays at 9 PM Eastern, Monday through Friday. We've got you covered with two hours of entertainment that'll make you go "hmmm," "huh," and sometimes even "dude!"

Following many requests for it, it's back. Jonathan and Bonnie are exploding live into 2026 at 9 PM Eastern on new year's eve

It's Jonathan Mosen, here to say that Bonnie and I are very touched that so many Mushroom Fm listeners have asked us to bring our live new year show back.
For those who aren’t familiar, here is the story so far.
For many, many, many consecutive years, and in other years before that, which all amounts to a voluminous quantity of years, I have hosted a new year show on Internet radio. It started even before Mushroom FM, and long before Bonnie and I were together, but Bonnie and I have hosted the show together since 2013.

Join Mark Stafford on Monday Morning and Friday evening at 6, for his annual Rock and Roll Heaven special

As the year draws to a close, it is time for one of the most poignant and powerful traditions in radio. Mark Stafford returns with his annual masterpiece, Rock and Roll Heaven, a heartfelt tribute to the legendary musicians and industry icons we lost over the past twelve months.
Produced with the meticulous care and deep musical knowledge that has made Mark Stafford a staple on stations like Radio Caroline and Big Hits Radio, Rock and Roll Heaven is a celebration of the legacies that shaped our lives.

Join Jonathan and Bonnie at 4 PM Eastern on Christmas Day for a Mosen Family Christmas

Being on Mushroom FM around Christmas time is one of my favorite Mushroom FM things. It's my pleasure to be hosting a live show on our first US Christmas, as we hibernate on a cool winter's afternoon and catch up with Mushroom Fm listeners around the world.

Mushroom FM's cracker line-up for Christmas 2025

Whether you're spending Christmas with a houseful of loved ones or enjoying a quieter celebration on your own, Mushroom FM has the perfect soundtrack for your holiday. We know that Christmas can be a time when some of our listeners find themselves alone. We'd be honored to keep you company with familiar voices and festive tunes. For those celebrating with family and friends, we'll provide the ideal musical backdrop to your festivities. Turn us up or keep us gently playing in the background as you create those special holiday memories.

It's hard to believe, but it was 45 years ago today

45 years ago today, December 8, 1980, John Lennon died, the victim of an appalling assassination that shocked and stopped the world.

On the Mosen Explosion today at 9 AM and 9 PM US Eastern time, we remember John by taking a stroll through the Beatles' catalog, largely in chronological order. We'll hear John evolution as a songwriter and musician, and we choose to remember him by celebrating the incredible legacy he left behind.
I look forward to sharing this show of remembrance with you.

The Mosen Explosion is now at 9 Eastern every week day

The Mosen Explosion has moved to a new time slot, and will now be heard every week day at 9 AM and 9 PM US Eastern Time.
The Mosen Explosion has been exploding on Internet radio for over a quarter of a century now, and it’s still going strong. I bring you two hours of the best music ever made, plus interesting little tidbits of light news, musical birthdays and today in music history. Plus, see if you can work out the often cryptic brain exploder question.
