Grab a cup of tea, coffee, or other relaxing beverage and join us for the first MushroomFM book club chat—this Saturday at noon EST. Bonnie Mosen will be your moderator, and we will be discussing “The Fault in Our Stars: by John Green. To participate in the discussion, visit mushroomfm.com/bookclub and follow the link to enter the room. If you're unable to make the discussion, but you'd like to share your views on the book, you can call the Book Club Feedback Line. It's a US number. 206-333-5717. At the end of the chat, the book club selection for November will be announced.

Many of our Mushroom FM fun guys have busy day jobs, and I remain deeply appreciative that they are part of our wonderful voluntary project.

Sometimes though, it's important to do a work/life balance check. After doing this, Bob Kanish has decided that his busy schedule doesn't permit continuing his show, The Depths, on Mushroom FM at the moment.

Whether you are the victor or the victim of the great global sporting events since last show, it is time to tune in to another heart racing edition of Bonair—Tuesday 9:00 – 11:00 p.m. EST on www.mushroomfm.com and in all your favourite music apps. We will review the exciting week in sports—with no excuses, win or lose, have another “Food for Thought” a last minute check of the book club, and of course, play your requests. No theme this week, so anything goes.

Hi everyone. After a pretty full-on weekend, You are warmly invited to kick back for the latest tour of Paskell's Pop Vault this afternoon from 12 PM Eastern, 5 PM GMT, only on The Home of the Fun Guys, Mushroom FM. This week we have an hour crammed full of live performances and alternative acoustic recordings from the likes of Sheryl Crow, Phil Collins, The Corrs and Wet Wet Wet. We'll also mark the release of the latest Bond film with an unusual remix of Tina Turner's “Golden Eye” soundtrack classic.

I hope you'll join me for another four hours where we just don't know what's going to happen, we don't know what little remark made by me or you will spark a lively discussion among our Mosen Explosion family via Twitter or email. We do know there'll be plenty of great music, wacky news, a look at history and a Bonnie Bulletin. But it's the back and forth, the unpredictability, that makes it all so much fun.

Over the last six weeks or so, most New Zealanders have been waking up early, shouting and cheering at TV screens all over the country.
Why?
It has been the 2015 Rugby World Cup, and the All Blacks, (the national team of New Zealand) were the current world champs heading into it.
We were all hoping come the 31st of October, the All Blacks would still be world champions after winning this year’s final, and become the first nation to win back to back Rugby World Cups.
The match has just finished, and success! Our boys are world champs again.

It’s a sporty, scary Bonair Tuesday 9:00 – 11:00 p.m. EST on MushroomFM.com and in all your favourite music apps. No worries, we will not be featuring two hours of the Spice Girls! With the Mets and Royals about to hit it off in the World Series, the gates opening for the Breeder’s Cup, and of course, the match of the century between NZ and Australia in the Rugby World Cup, not to mention Halloween, we will play upbeat songs to cheer your team on mixed with some creepy crawly favs.

First of all, attention! Attention! If you're in Europe and your clocks have gone back this weekend, then for one crazy week only, the Mosen Explosion will start an hour earlier, because you're closer to Eastern time than usual! Attention attention attention! So we still start at 2 PM Eastern, but it's now 6 in the UK. Attention!

This week, I'm filling in for Bruce Toews at 4 Pm Eastern. What a privilege to be in the TOTW hot seat. And What a privilege to be sandwiched between the mighty music machine and the telephonic Musical Web.

Breaker breaker! This is Bonair hauling a big load of tunes about trucks and truck drivers. Copy that? My 20 is mushroomfm.com and all your fav music apps. My 50 is 9:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday. This week we are celebrating the men and women on the move—keeping us supplied with everything from groceries to iPhones, and of course, the big rigs they drive. We will pop into the truck stop kitchen for another “Food for Thought: and check in on the Fun Guys book club.
