Hello again! Sara Hillis here to tell you about this week's episode of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic Music show here on Mushroom FM. It's another grab-bag of goodies, including a Stan Rogers song which I for one had never heard till today. I'm also sick of hearing truck-horns blaring over the newscasts I listen to lately, so I thought I'd play a couple of vintage protest songs. I think that's what protests nowadays are missing: a good sing-along! Seriously though, I hope this show is a cure for whatever February blahs might be yours at this moment. I know it helps me.

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 Beaches from 1988 and Murder in the First from 1995.
Beaches (also known as Forever Friends) is a 1988 American comedy-drama film adapted by Mary Agnes Donoghue and based on Iris Rainer Dart's 1985 novel of the same name.

This week Deep Dive returns to normal service after the Australian summer holiday, and we feature the Australian doo-wop sounds of Ol' 55. We sing about summertime and go looking for an echo.

Deep dive, focusing on one artist for one hour.

Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you about this week's edition of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic Music show. Every once in a while, I like to program mini-themes, which are groups of songs that are somehow related. This week, I've got songs about highways and highwaymen, hills, roads, flying and much more! We'll hear a Leonard Cohen classic, move the "Me Music" feature back to where it used to be in the first hour of the show, and generally have a great time.

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 The Fugitive from 1993 and Hanna from 2011.
The Fugitive is a 1993 American action thriller film based on the 1960s television series of the same name created by Roy Huggins.
The film was directed by Andrew Davis and stars Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones, with supporting roles by Sela Ward, Joe Pantoliano, Andreas Katsulas, and Jeroen Krabbé.

Still going strong after well over 20 years on the jolly old Interweb, the Mosen Explosion is back for another year with a face lift. Now all I need is to get a face lift of my own!

This year, the Mosen Explosion comes packed with fun, including more whimsical and whacky news stories, things that make you go “hmm”, and a new daily feature, the brain exploder. Here’s how it works.

We have had a fantastic response to Mushroom FM's new Alexa skill and Google action. Now we are delighted to announce that Mushroom Escape is available with a skill and action of its own.

I was saddened to learn of the death of Meatloaf last week at the age of 74. His voice range and power were amazing, and his Bat Out Of Hell album was outstanding. Deep Dive will feature the programme on him made last week as a tribute, as a last encore programme before the Australian holidays end for me.

Tune in at 4 PM Monday Eastern, which is 8 AM in eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 10 PM in eastern Australia.

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