The Mosen Explosion with Jonathan Mosen

WELCOME TO THE MOSEN EXPLOSION ON THE LEGEND

Welcome to the home page of the Mosen Explosion Radio Show, heard right here on The Legend every Sunday between 5 and 9 Eastern US time.

About the Show

Presented from Wellington New Zealand from studios at Mosen Towers, the Mosen Explosion is four hours of radio that’s full of fun, spontaneity, listener interaction and the best music ever made.

Special features include:

  • The Banana Report, where the Mosen kids get let loose on the air to say who knows what,
  • What the minx Thinks with Julia Mosen,
  • And regular visits to the world of the bizarre with our Wacky News bulletins sprinkled throughout the show.

But mostly, we spend our time playing great music from the 50s through to the 80s. Much of what we play is driven by you, and that’s the way we like it.

On Demand

The show is best heard when it’s live, but if you really just can’t tune in live, you can
download Mosen Explosion shows.

You can also hear some of our
audio promos and other audio bits.

Latest Exploding News

3 April 2010

You'll be certain of having a fun day,
If you tune to the Legend on Sunday.
We get going at 3,
it's extended you see,
so we go for six hours this one day.

We've talked lots about chocolate fish,
They're a chocolate and marshmallow dish.
They taste oh so yummy, when filling your tummy,
So want some? We may grant your wish!

And all that we want you to do,
Is compose us a limerick or two.
If yours is the best, and outclasses the rest,
then we'll send chocolate fish straight to you.

Ah this limerick composing is simple! Simple I tell you! So, we want your limericks about the Mosen Explosion for our extended six hour edition. Get composing, and send a Mosen Explosion limerick to jonathan@legend-oldies.com. These chocolate fish are desperate for a new home.

Now with six hours to play with, we have plenty, yes plenty of time to play your requests. Please feel free to get those to us too, via e-mail to jonathan@legend-oldies.com, or tweet to @MosenExplosion.

It's school holiday time, so we have the bananas with us live throughout the show this week. It's a big week in Beatles history, as we recall how they became the first band in history to occupy all top five Billboard slots. We'll play that top five for you.

The Minx is here too, star of stage, radio and promo.

We're going to have plenty of fun, and hope you can be a part of it. You will want to be able to tell your grandchildren you heard this show, oh yes you will. Hmmm let's try one more limerick.

So tune in to our fabulous sound,
If you don't, well, we'll send the boys round.
Your address I shall give, Yes, I know where you live.
There's no way that you cannot be found!

Ooh, that was a scary one I tell you!
