One Life Left

Definitely the UK's favourite radio show (sort of) about videogames.


Commissioned by London’s award-winning Resonance 104.4 FM in early 2006, One Life Left was only meant to run for six episodes.

Take that, The Man because now, somewhere around one hundred and fifty episodes later, it’s in its seventh season and grown from humbling, terrified, fumbling beginnings into one of the station’s most valued shows.

Take THAT, The Man. Also take that, British radio standards.

One Life Left — s04e07 — #79 — No Prizes

Play

No prizes for naming this week’s guest after the first, ooh, three words of the show. No prizes for working out what’s up with Ann’s voice, either, particularly if you’ve been reading our blog. And, if you were lucky enough to attend the GMAs last Thursday, no prizes for guessing what most of this week’s apology section concerns. Uh oh, it’s OLL #79: the post-party regret.

But the show isn’t just about red faces, recollection immediately followed by regret. There’s also the bits in between, the features and news and jingles and stuff. You know, the good stuff: Craig ‘The Rage’ McClellan takes on the Nintendo DS, Taliah looks at Ridge Racer and Mathew Kumar recalls Seaman on the Dreamcast.

And, midway through, just after the letters section and essentially out of nowhere, we announce OLL’s next public gathering and invite you all. We’ll do a proper blog about that this week but for now please accept our audio invite. You should come. It promises to be awesome. There might even be prizes.

We also play some astonishingly good music on #79:

Sun Lights Stars (Covox Remix) by Ram Rider
Earthbound — Twoson Hits The Road — OC Remix by djpretzel
Coloris by She.

And, you know, everything else.

Download the podcast from here if you’re not subscribed on iTunes (you should really just do that, right?). Please enjoy — protest on our forum if you don’t, or even if you do — and we’ll see you in a week (and maybe *see* you in ten days). Exciting times!

    Hope the stream isn’t as choppy as it was last weeks, it almost ruined our live listening session. I demand apologies to the world’s audience that was not able to properly listen live last week! I mean, think of the children* !

    It’s with great pleasure and anticipation to tonight’s show that I announce the following:

    TONIGHT IN PERFECTLY CLEAR STREAMING AUDIO or reliable fm quality

    Join us tonight at 8 pm BST 7pm BST for another ‘live’ listening session with other OLL -listeners.

    There’s a good chance the OLL crew will drop by for live feedback! The illustrious Derek Williams provides extended reflections on his Free Market Economy. Our main man Ste will of course reference the chatbox so many times during the show that it’ll get overrun by fellow OLL- listeners. You just haven’t experienced OLL if you haven’t attended a live-listening session!
