During the Australian summer - until Australia day on 26 January - Deep Dive will be taking a break. However, we will still be around on Mushroom FM playing five encore shows which you have chosen.

We'll hear from
* A male American singer and Comedian,
* A female singer with Caribean roots who made her career in the United Kingdom,
* An american rock band with a real southern sound,
* A female american singer who is simply the best, and
* An english male singer and pianist who is still standing.

There may come a time when we’ll be sitting in our rocking chairs, boring our grandchildren senseless about the tough times of 2020 and how young people today don’t know what hard times are. But right now, 2020 is our reality and it’s been incredibly challenging for many. This year is also a special one because it heralds the end of a decade and the start of a new one with all its promise and uncertainty.

Join me, Sara Hillis, tonight at 8:00 Eastern for a dip into Come by the Hills history as we look back at one of our most popular episodes of 2020. Yes, it's an encore presentation of the Joni Mitchell Archives episode from November 1. I hope you'll enjoy it, whether it's new to you or not, and I will certainly be with you again live in the new year.

Catch Come by the Hills tonight at 8:00 PM Eastern, or check out the replay on Friday at 4:00 AM Eastern, 9:00 AM in the UK and Ireland.

Join me in The Early Years tomorrow afternoon at 05:00 where and when you'll enjoy the best music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades and genres.

After the presents have been opened, the turkey has been eaten (some of it at least), and it's Christmas night when you can hopefully enjoy a bit of well deserved down time. Why not pour a glass of your favourite Christmas cheer and join me for some Christmas traditions, tonight from 09:00 until midnight North American Eastern Time on Mushroom FM.
Hi, I'm Steve Cutway. I'll have some favourite holiday stories written and/or performed by Canadian storytellers linked by holiday music performed primarily by Canadians.

This week, on the Snowman Radio, we're saying goodbye to this lovely year of 2020 by winding the clock back 6 years, and revisiting our very first show, which was aired on December 20, 2014. It will be interesting to observe how the show format has evolved over the years. This initial show was a pilot, an experiment, to see whether, after hiding out in relative obscurity, deep in the protective custody of broadcast retirement for over a dozen years, the Snowman still had it in him to do a radio program.

G'day.
Coming up on the Christmas Day edition of Damo's All Day Breakfast, I'll fill you in on the results of the Great Christmas Ham Experiment of 2020. I'll also talk you through doing the Christmas turkey Damo style.

Christmas is a joyous time for many. We gather with friends and family, eat plenty, and value those we have in our lives. Even in regular years, Christmas can be a difficult time for some due to temporary or permanent separation from people who are special. And this is no ordinary year. In many parts of the world, Christmas will be a very different, quieter occasion.

Tomorrow at noon Eastern, Join me, Sara Hillis, as I take a journey through one of the greatest collections of holiday music ever to grace the world of Pop: The Carpenters Christmas Collection. Compiled in 1996, it features both A Christmas Portrait from 1978 and An Old-fashioned Christmas from 1984. Whichever is your favourite of these two albums, you're sure to find good cheer awaiting you.
