This blog post announces a significant new chapter for Mushroom FM, taking us in a direction we’ve not travelled before. It may be considered a radical new direction, so I’d like to take some time to explain to our loyal mushroom crowd what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and why we think that you’ll be glad we’re doing it.

It feels like it's a long weekend every other week somewhere. But finally, it's New Zealand's turn. Major squee!
One is celebrating Queen's Birthday Weekend here, as one does on the first Monday in June every year. So it seems like a great opportunity to dust off those Queen albums and make Freddy and the boys one's featured artists on this week's Mosen Explosion. No one ever got fired for playing Queen tracks, one tells you, so one hopes that one is safe for another week.

Yeah we've got the tunes mates, we've got the tunes.
The shows when mark Wilson puts in an appearance are always very popular, and he's back on this week's Mosen Explosion. The keyboard's connected to the mixer, the microphone is set up behind the keyboard in case Mark bursts into song, and we're ready to go live with the tunes. All we need now are your requests. Drop me an email to jonathan at mushroomfm dot com and let us know what you'd like to hear on the piano from Mark.

What? Talking about the Mosen Explosion already? I tell you we're just super duper organised.

It's a highly up-scale Mosen Explosion this week. Yup, if you've been reading my posts on Facebook and Twitter, you'll know that it's been a hella dramatic week at Mosen Towers. If you've been fortunate enough to have missed my Twitter and Facebook posts, well you can tune into the Mosen Explosion this week and get the full scoop on the case of the smart scale destruction.

Another Mosen Explosion time has nearly rolled around again. "Hip hurray! Hip hurray! We're back on Mushroom FM...Hip hip hip hurray!" Oh wait, I can't do that, it's being done elsewhere i tell you.
Anyway, the thing is, the thing is you see that it's a busy old month at Mosen Towers because three out of the four bananas have birthdays in May. Sometimes, I wonder what could have possibly caused that, but the doctor told me that if I think about that too much, I'd go blind.
So we have some banana-birthday related activity to report on the show this week.

Holy soup! That week went by quickly, and once again I am much anticipating the four fun hours I get to spend in your company, as the Mosen Explosion takes to the mighty Mushroom's virtual airwaves.

We've got a great mix of wacky news stories this week, including two from Maine, which isn't a state we hear from that often.

How much does Bonnie Mosen love being in touch with you, her loyal, eager and devoted listeners, every week? Well the answer is, a lot. A huge enormous voluminous lot. Except she loves the Kentucky derby much more. I know that will break your heart, but it's true.

Thanks to the generosity of Mushroom FM management, the Mosen Explosion is back again for four hours of meh, blah, and oy. Well at least it would be if not for your input. There's less meh when you tweet in with interesting observations, there's less blah when you contribute your words of wisdom via email, and there is most definitely far less oy when you call the Mosen Line.

At 3 Pm Eastern, 8 PM UK, 7 AM in New Zealand, Brian Hartgen starts the broadcasts from the Mushroom Flyer, our virtual train that can magically warp itself anywhere in the world. You won't want to miss the first show, because that's when you find out which coach you've been assigned to, and the prize winning starts right away. So we hope you'll be aboard on time, and stay aboard right throughout the thrilling journey. It'll be essential listening.
