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 — s05e09 — #105 — Emergency Services

Emergency Services because, like the rest of the world, this week OLL is talking about 999 and 911. What? No, we’re not actually talking telephone numbers. We’re discussing the dates that saved videoaming this week: Rock Band’s 9/9/9 Beatlapocalypse and Guitar Hero 5′s response on September 11th.

That’s right. Discussing. One Life Left #105 features a rarity for Europe’s favourite / only videogame radio show, an actual serious discussion of videogames on the radio. We’re just trying it out, don’t be scared.

Also in #105:

+ Lots of excellent features incuding Mathew Kumar’s Best Worst Games, Dr Avatar’s horrifying game injuries and the ever informative Week o’ Wiki Wah Wah

+ Exclusive, if essentially sketchy, pre-information information on OLL’s long-rumoured presence at Nottingham Game City

+ We finally reach the point where we can’t even remember our own phone number

Music in #105 is from 8bitcollective.com, tracks specifically by Derris-Kharlan and Chipzel.

The MP3 direct download is here.

We’re away for another couple of weeks now (Simon and Ste have to go to the US, Ann has to stay home and look after the cat). In the meantime we hope to put up some secret stuff. Even if we don’t, please do write, tweet and call. Assuming you can find the number*. We couldn’t.

love,
Team OLL xxx
