Make a donation and join us for an evening of Mushroom reflection
It's Jonathan Mosen, inviting you to join Melissa Riccobono and Me for an Evening of Mushroom FM Stories, in Support of the National Federation of the Blind of Maryland.
On Saturday, November 7, Melissa Riccobono and I will join the At Large Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind of Maryland for a fun evening all about Mushroom FM, the radio station operated solely by blind people.
I will share the history of how Mushroom FM came to be, along with some of the stories and memorable moments from over the years. I will also talk about The Mosen Explosion and what it is really like to put a show together and broadcast it. Melissa will tell you how her show on Mushroom FM, The Song Remembers When, is a dream come true for her. You will also enjoy music from the 50s through the 80s, which seems fitting for a Mushroom FM gathering.
This event is a fundraiser for the NFB of Maryland’s At Large Chapter, and you do not need to live in Maryland to take part. Anyone, anywhere in the world, is welcome to make the donation and join us on Zoom.
When: Saturday, November 7, 2026, 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM US Eastern Time. That is midnight UTC, 11:00 AM Sunday in Sydney, and 1:00 PM Sunday in New Zealand.
Where: Zoom
Donation: $10
How to pay: If you’re here in the US, send your donation by Zelle to 410-241-9012 and make it clear it is for the Mushroom FM event in the notes. Then email Sharon at nfbmdsm@gmail.com to let her know you plan to attend.
If you are outside the United States where Zell is not an option, get in touch with me via email to Jonathan at mushroomfm.com and we can organize receiving your donation some other way.
We would love to see some familiar names from the Mushroom FM family in the Zoom room. Come along, support a great organization, and hear a few stories you may not have heard before.
