Voting is closing at 11:59 PM Eastern time tonight for our holiday countdown. Every year, we get frantic messages from a listener or two who forgot to vote and really really really wants to. Unfortunately, we can't make exceptions. Once the votes are closed, they are closed. The reason for this is that once listeners have built the chart, work begins immediately on putting the countdown together, so it's ready to go live at 9 AM Eastern this Sunday.
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, Almost Christmas from 2016, Love the Coopers – aka Christmas with the Coopers from 2015 and Ice Age: a Mammoth Christmas from 2011.
Almost Christmas is a 2016 American Christmas comedy-drama film written and directed by David E. Talbert
There’s not long left! You have until the end of Friday US Eastern time to vote for your top 10 Christmas songs. The consequences of voting are enormous. You contribute to our top 100 countdown which we play this Sunday, and you also score yourself an invitation to our Christmas party.
Voting closes in Mushroom Fm's holiday countdown and Christmas party this Friday at 11:59 PM North American Eastern time. If you haven't voted yet, it's an accessible process that won't take you too long. Visit http://MushroomFM.com/countdown2021 and be sure that your friends and family do too.
This year, we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of this tradition that many people now look forward to. Our aim is that for you, participation is easy, festive and fun. But there's a lot going on behind the scenes.
You have until 11:59 PM North American Eastern time this Friday to cast your votes in Mushroom FM’s holiday countdown and receive an invitation to our Christmas party where we play the top 100 on 19 December.
From a listener’s perspective, you may think that this show would be an easy one for the fun guys to prepare for. After all, the listeners are in charge of what songs make the chart, so that’s the music taken care of, right? Well, it’s not quite that simple.
Michael Nesmith, one of the original members of the Monkees, died last week at the age of 78. He played his last show with the band just six months ago. So this week Deep Dive will feature an encore programme on the band to celebrate his life.
Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is 8 AM in eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 10 PM in eastern Australia. Simply instruct your smart speaker to play mushroom FM and it will whisk you there.
Deep dive, where we celebrate one artist for one hour, on the home of the fun guys, Mushroom FM.
There’s still time to vote in Mushroom FM’s holiday countdown and to receive an invitation to our Christmas party. But time is running out rapidly with votes closing at the end of Friday 17 December Eastern North American time.
Being able to tune in to hear how the 10 songs you voted for ranked in the countdown, or indeed whether they made it to the countdown at all since we have around 250 songs people have voted for at this point, is a lot of fun. But we add even more to the fun by turning the countdown in to another of Mushroom FM’s famous social media events.
It’s Jonathan Mosen here to tell you about the wonderful songs and stories we have for you this week on Small World, the kids’ programme for the whole family, only on Mushroom Escape. This series of Small World will conclude after the 19 December episode. And now that we’re into December, I’m digging out some classic Christmas material.
Hello again! Sara Hillis here to tell you that Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show, is back for another week. WE've got more of our festive favourites as well as some tunes about wind and rain, a salute to the holly and the ivy, and a whole lot more.
Tune in live for all the folky fabulousness on Saturday at 2:00 PM Eastern, or catch the replay on Tuesday at 5:00 AM Eastern. However and whenever you listen, enjoy!
