Breaking And Entering: Simon Winkler's Final Show

After almost two decades, we bid farewell to the one and only Simon Winkler, who is departing as co-host from Breaking and Entering. To celebrate, Simon’s final episode takes a look back on the past 18 years of the show and reflect on some of our favourite musical moments and memories.

Since starting Breaking and Entering in 2008 with co-host, Lauren Taylor, the pair have been introducing us to tracks from new and underground artists locally and from around the world every Thursday afternoon.

Simon and Lauren are also joined by special guests Emily York, director of Penny Drop, Australian music producer, bringing independent international artists to Australia, Harvey Sutherland (Mike Katz) and artist, broadcaster, performer and musician, Sophia Brous to discuss their relationship with Triple R and Simon’s indelible contribution to the station and broader music community in Melbourne.

“This show is a fixture in our weekly experience of being music lovers in Melbourne and wanting to know what shows are on and wanting to know what interesting music has come out.” – Sophia Brous

As we say a sad farewell to Simon, the wonderful Lauren will be continuing the show and we are excited to see what is to come in this next chapter of Breaking and Entering!
