Matt The Cat has dug up some more R&B Christmas treasures and added a few tunes about New Years for this morning's continuation of the "Juke In The Back" R&B Christmas Spectacular.

We very much enjoy being a part of the Christmas line-up on Mushroom FM, and for me, broadcasting has been a big part of Christmas since I was a very small child. In fact, next year, I’ll be celebrating 50 years since my first Christmas show.

We opted not to attempt a live show this year, as Bonnie and I are on granddaughter watch and she is due to arrive any day. So we’ve done things a little differently this year.

After you've enjoyed Sara's Christmas special on "Come By The Hills", tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 PM to 05:00 PM, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac or smart speaker and join me for the Christmas Eve edition of The Early Years, where and when you'll hear the best music I can play for the season .
I have something very special in hour 2 that I doubt has been heard on Mushroom FM before, the Jim Reeves Christmas show that was originally broadcast Christmas night in 1957 between 11 PM and midnight on "American, the American Broadcasting Network", that we now know as ABC.

From this Saturday at 12am Eastern, that’s 6pm Saturday in NZ, 4pm in Sydney and 5am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movies Scrooge from 1951, Elf from 2003, and A Child’s Christmases in Wales from 2009.
Scrooge (released as A Christmas Carol in the United States) is a 1951 British Christmas fantasy drama film and an adaptation of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol (1843).

Hello! Sara Hillis here to give you a round-up of what's happening over the next few days in Sara-land here on Mushroom FM!

First, I'll be taking a week off from producing Sara Smiles between Christmas and New Years, so this Friday's show will be the final Sara Smiles of 2022. The show will resume its regular schedule on Monday, January 2, 2023.

The holidays can either be the best or worst time of the year. Whether you’re celebrating alone or with family and friends, I’d like to help keep the mood festive! You’re all encouraged to join me for my 2nd Annual Christmas special, Geno J’s Holly Jolly Jamboree this Sunday between 4 and 6 pm Eastern!

Deep Dive will be popping into your ears for Christmas. We have a special Christmas show for you for two hours, playing at 8 PM Eastern on Christmas eve, and at midday on Christmas day in Australia. It comes from Australia, and it is all about Australia, so for those of you in the northern hemisphere enjoy a little Australian Christmas warmth.

Just say Merry Christmas to your SmartSpeaker, and then ask it to play Mushroom FM and you will be there faster than Santa's sleigh

On behalf of the fun guys at Mushroom FM, thanks to everyone whose votes put the top 100 together, and who made our party so special through their participation.

There were some firsts about this year's countdown. It was the first on a Saturday, the first to start at 7 AM Eastern, and most significant of all, the first on Mastodon which turned out to be a huge success.

This week on Deep Dive we are changing our format in celebration of Christmas. We enjoy a range of artists, pretty much all Australian, sharing their views of Christmas. The Sunny Cowgirls make several appearances, as do Olivia Newton-John, who sadly died this year, and Bucho and Champs. It's a delightful hour of Christmas merriment Aussie style.
