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 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.
