It's that time of year again, when some of our listeners are falling back with the end of Daylight Saving. This applies to the UK, Ireland and some other countries.

Mushroom FM keeps US Eastern time, and the clocks there do not go back until next weekend. This means that for one week only, all Mushroom FM shows will be an hour earlier than you usually hear them. Remember, you can always check the Mushroom Fm schedule which will display show listings in your time zone.

Kia ora Mosen at largers. One of the things I love about this show is the diversity of perspectives we hear from around the world. As always I have some ideas about what we might talk about, but you’re welcome to make a contribution on whatever’s on your mind.

Kia ora Mosen at largers. I have another content-rich show planned for you this weekend and I’m looking forward to hearing from you if you have an opinion to express.

By the time the show airs live, New Zealand’s election will be over and I will have voted. I expect it to be another effortless, home-based telephonic experience as it was for Bonnie, who voted early, impetuous person that she is.

I look forward to your company on Friday’s Mosen Explosion, where the entire show is devoted to celebrating the life, music and legacy of John Lennon on what would have been his 80th birthday.

I’ll be playing music from John as a Beatle and a solo artist, giving you some history about some of the music you’ll hear.

Kia ora Mosen at largers. I’m writing from just outside beautiful Queenstown in New Zealand, where Bonnie and I have been having a great break. Still, As always I can’t wait to spend some time talking with you about all manner of things on the next show. Perhaps because I’ve been taking a break, I’ve been thinking about a lot of things this week. Here are a few things I’d be interested in hearing from you about.

Kia ora everyone. Time flies, mate, and now for me it is flying with the help of a shiny new Apple Watch Series 6. If you’re considering upgrading your Apple Watch, or perhaps you’ve been holding off buying your first Apple Watch but there’s now enough to tantalise you into looking at one seriously, I’ll play you my Apple Watch unboxing on the show this week. I’ll demonstrate how you safely back up an old Apple Watch in preparation for the big transfer, and then we’ll set up the new watch.

Kia ora everyone. It’s going to be a pleasure to get your written or audio contributions for this week’s Mosen At Large.

Hello again Mosen at Largers.

An update on what you will be able to hear on this weekend’s show. As well as the topics I mentioned a couple of days back, we have a couple more.

Listeners in the UK have let us know that in the last 36 hours or so, Mushroom Fm and Mushroom Escape can't be heard using the TuneIn mobile app or through Alexa integration. We don't know but we expect it is affecting Google Assistant too.

Although the timing might suggest it, this is completely unrelated to internal changes we have been making here, and we are not the only Internet station to be affected by this problem.
