Two changes to our schedule, one permanent, one temporary

We're letting you know about a permanent and temporary change to the Mushroom FM schedule.

First the permanent one. Gordon Luke, one of our longest-serving fun guys, is hanging up the headphones due to extensive work commitments. We are profoundly grateful for the years of great entertainment Gordon has provided, and we have fingers crossed that he'll be back on the air when his schedule permits. Gordon's not leaving us completely. He will continue to be doing valuable work in the engine room at Mushroom FM, keeping our website shiny and functional.
