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.
Sam and Jenn are your selectors this week with Rob off fly-fishing and Kris just in Wellington. Tune in to hear some sweetcity pop indulgences, questionable chat about (fantastic) polyester attire, and an excerpt of Sam's expert Eden Noodle order. How fun!

This week Sam, Kris, Jenn, and Mr Rob Bollix bring their respective levels of alertness and excitiment to The Rereat. Sam has a swag of fresh records to play, and a good time was (of course) had by all. Sports news @5, Emmerdale @6, keys in the bowl the whole time.
No Sam this week, but Kris, Jenn, and Rob hold it down, playing you a selection of music new and old from around the world. Everyone is feeling a little tired, which somehow lends the show a sense of hysterical professionalism.
Rob covers a jam-packed sports segment, and follows it up with the always popular Emmerdale review.
