Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you what's in store on this week's iminent and impending edition of Come by the Hills! It's almost May Day, so we'll be playing songs about Maying, may poles and the like, as well as songs about spring and fertility, and even cuckoos! Also, we're going to dedicate this week's show to the memory of John Rae, an amazing advocate and activist for Canada's blind community and also a listener. He passed away suddenly on April 8th, and I wanted to wait till I had the time to do a good show for him.

From this Saturday at 12am Eastern, that’s 4pm Saturday in NZ, 2pm in Sydney and 5am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movies Everest from 2015, and Scott of the Antarctic from 1948.
Everest is a 2015 biographical survival adventure film directed and produced by Baltasar Kormákur and written by William Nicholson and Simon Beaufoy.

It's no easy task to move a whole street, but that's exactly what's happening with Easy Street!

Now that the Early Years is back on Mushroom FM, Easy Street will move to a new location, I mean time slot, starting Tuesday, April 26. I'll be on the air every Tuesday from 7 to 9 PM Eastern and every Friday from 7 to 9 AM Eastern, right before Anthony Unleashed with Anthony Horvath.

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the multiple talents of the Traveling Wilburys. We learn to handle me with care, that she's my baby, and to get inside out.

Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is 6 AM Tuesday in eastern Australia or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 8 PM in Eastern Australia.

Deep dive, where we focus on one artist for one hour, on mushroom FM, home of the fun guys.

Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you what's in store for this week on Come by the Hills. Due to a rather busy schedule for me this weekend, I'm presenting an encore presentation of our Paddy Molomey tribute episode from October 16, 2021. This episode was in the replay slot for this past Tuesday because of the We're With U concert which was in our usual Saturday slot last week, and it will be there again because of my schedule for this week.

After you've enjoyed Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 to 05:00, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac or smart speaker and join Scott Best and me for a very special show when The Early Years meets Easy Street, where and when you'll hear the best music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades and genres.
It's been a long time since I've been able to say that but you know what John Lennon said, "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans".
