Delve headlong into the world of Plato's Retreat thanks to Hallertau with Samuel Harmony, Kris McFang, Aneeka Moheed and Rob Bollox . $1 - $1000 records given equal treatment and airtime. For all that's good in Boogie, New Wave, Disco, House, Post-punk, Afro, Modern Soul, AOR, & much much more.
Crikey me old mucker! Kris and Rob bring you another edition of Ye Ol' Plato's Retreat.
After initially bowing to audience pressure to play a song that Kris did not want to play, the boys were repaid in kind by some lovely words of support from the listenership.
Pearl pops in to find the studio cheese-less, but luckily there is still beer thanks to 16 Tun and the very special guest beer reviewer Celia.
And of course there are the regular SPORTS and EMMERDALE bulletins to keep you updated on those fronts.

Another week another headlong dive into the mirth and madness that is Plato's Retreat
Couply new songs, Oscar's Saucy Segment / Sports Review / Cheese Wheel of Fortune / The Beer Review with thanks to *16 Tun* / Emmerdale review and a lil rave to finish
Plato's retreat bringing all the tunes and segments you can handle.
Kris has returned from Chirstchurch with some fresh, self-secribed "phat trax", Sam is in recovery after a big night boogying to Omar-S, and Rob brings us all that is big news in sport and, of course Emerdale.
But wait, theres more!
Pearl joins us for the Cheese Wheel of Fortune in which she struggles mightily with a Dutch cheese, and Fin from 16 Tun brings us the Flagon Wagon...which ends in an argument when Sam proposes we have a "Triple Brown Float" next week: Double Brown™ poured over chocolate icecream.

To prevent the Emmerdale review from becoming Kim Tate reveiw (the most hated character in English television), this week Rob runs us down on the Sharma family's chocolate factory fiasco, scream-ups at the pub, and just a little bit of KT news.
In this edition of Emmerdale, Rob fills us in on the chaos being caused in the wake of Kim Tate's return to the village and the return of Joe (from the dead!).
In this edition of the Emmerdale review we talk maternal kidnapping, breaking the Dingle code, and the return from prison of the most hated character in UK television.
In this edition of the critically acclaimed Emmerdale review Rob describes an exciting road trip in which multiple characters end up in the beautiful city of Belfast, birthplace of the Titanic. In Belfast, Marlon and Paddy confront Paddy's father Bear-Wolf in a pub, before moving into a having a really great chat about pies.
In this episode of the highly acclaimed Emmerdale review, Mr. Rob Bollox fills us in on the outcome of Paddy's DNA test and some agricultural misadventures featuring hangovers and farmyard machinary
In this edition of the Emmerdale Review Mr Bollox fills us in on the attempted frame-up of Kane Dingle by "the scariest man I've seen on television". Kris and "Rootin' Tootin' Pollard" also have a bit of fun with the Emmerdale Wild West name generator.
