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.
This week, the team get up to all of the usual shenanigans, playing an eclectic mix of music, snacking heavily, and reviewing things. Of special note is that that crew are joined by Dan from show sponsor, beer subscription service Beer Hug. Dan talks us all through beer subscription, underwear subscription services, and of course, so hard to find beers from the Epic box on offer this month (use code bFM15 at checkout to get $15 off!).
