rage turns retro in January once more with a month of nostalgia, including Countdown episodes.

It begins with the 1982 Australian Top 10 on Saturday morning. Then, later that evening, Countdown features an ep from August 1982, co-hosted by the late Greedy Smith as well as Peter O’Doherty of Mental As Anything.
