95bFM: Plato's Retreat with Sam, Kris & Rob

Plato's welcome back DJ Droszkhi into the Retreat.

Cheers Hallertau!

  "Love things everyday" - Rob Bollox It's a (sort of) Valentine's Day themed show, and a (sort of) Valentine from Plato's Retreat to all of the lovely bFM listenership out there. xx

Kris and Rob step back into the agora and kick off the show by paying homage to the late, great Sly Dunbar. 

Kris scored some cheap 45"s at a recycling center, and finds out the hard way that he hadn't cleaned them up well enough. Plato's Retreat is brought to you by the good people at Hallertau.

Kris and Rob are back for 2026 with a higher than normal ratio of covers, dub, and...french music? 

...Um. Standing in for Kris and Rob, Steve Newall tries to channel the ethos of Plato's (if not the chatter). Thanks to Hallertau.

It's the final Plato's of the year! Fear not dear listener, Kris, Rob, and guests will return on the 10th January 2026. Many thanks as ever to show sponsor Hallertau for their support and ice old beers!

Kris McFang and Rob Bollix bring in a show filled with Plato's Retreat firsts: The first metal song played (as requested by Plato's youngest avid fan Louis who joins the team in studio), the first Phil Collins cover, and the first UK Grime special which runs for the last 30 minutes of the show. Many thanks to sponsors Hallertau for their support and to all the listeners (both to the live broadcast and to this podcast). Final show of the year is next week!!!

Thanks to Hallertau Brewery!

Kris McFang and Bobby Rollix return to the radio! As always, Plato's Retreat is powered by generous sponsors Hallertau!

Aneeka is now an international bb, relaxing on a beach somewhere on the other side of the globe. Rob and Kris? They're up to no good and not in the studio either. Luckily, Wednesday Drive host Elle guides you through Saturday evening with a bunch of stunner records. Thanks to Hallertau 

Stepping into the agora for the last time, it is Aneeka's last show! She is off to take London by storm, but fear not, we will certainly be getting some (gum)boots-on-the-ground reporting from Aneeka on the show as she walks home from the club at 4am (GMT). The Plato's team are going to miss our Tropical Earthquake Neeks very very much. This final show is filled with all of the highlights Aneeka brings to the show: unapparelled energy, quick wit, big feelings, great tunes, and so much heart. 

On Aneeka's second to last show the team make contact with the mighty bFM bus on its journey to the Aotearoa Alternative Awards 2025. 

It's Aneeka's third to last show on Plato's retreat! 

Lola Fountain-Best phones in from Nami Record Bar to chat about a fundraiser for Kiwi Trust for Palestinian Children Relief happening the following day, in collaboration with Aussie distillery Four Pillars Gin.  Thanks to Hallertau Brewery!

Lola Fountain-Best phones into the 95bFM studio to yarn with Aneeka about a very cool collaborative fundraiser happening this Rātapu all across the motu. Aussie distillery Three Pillars Gin have teamed up with local venues, including Nami Record Bar here in Tāmaki Makaurau, to bring you Pillars & Links! Head on down to the Tāmaki event and enjoy delicious snags and delightful gin cocktails, all the while fundraising for a good cause, the Kiwi Trust for Palestinian Children Relief. Whakarongo mai nei!

A Te Wiki o te Reo Māori special! Thanks Hallertau!
