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.

Episode #119 Fixed
January 31st, 2010 Posted by One Life LeftEpisode #119 was missing a ten minute chunk, essentially all of the reviews section. Not sure why, but it’s fixed now. You might have to force iTunes to refresh or something, though. Or just listen to it on the player above. Thanks to listeners for alerting me. NO THANKS TO THE BIKE SHOW / EUROGAMER / SHADOWY SABOTEURS FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN.

Buy the Craig ‘The Rage’ Book
November 15th, 2009 Posted by Craig "The Rage" McClellandHello One Life Left listeners. It’s cold outside. It’s dark. Soon it will be Christmas, and you know what that means. Greedy family members with their hands out, expecting you to give them something because of a coincidence of genetics. A few pointless skeins of DNA, and I’m obliged to buy you a basket of ‘smellies’ from Body Shop? F-off Nan. This Christmas you have another option. Fulfil your familial present-buying obligation while simultaneously extending a contemptuous middle finger to the gift-recipient by purchasing a copy of ’64 Bits of Pain’. That is my book. Featuring old classics and new [...]

ANNvestigating gaming rehab
November 11th, 2009 Posted by Ann ScantleburyAnyone who’s listened to this week’s show (btw, don’t I sound really great?) will be up to speed with the Gaming Addiction Treated in Rehab Clinic news. If not, here’s the low down: gaming addiction has been treated in a rehab clinic. But with a story this big, we won’t just leave it there! Think of all the gamers barely able to prize their withered hands from their SingStar mics, desperate to make that call and book themselves into Broadway Lodge, scared to even consider it because actually they have no idea how much it bloody well costs. Don’t worry game addicts! The industry’s leading ANNvestigator is [...]

Chart 100 Market Economy THE RESULTS parts 1-3!
July 22nd, 2009 Posted by Derek WilliamsI’ve been busy compiling all your votes the last few weeks and with the aid of SCIENCE on my side I have eventually come up with a DEFINITIVE list of the best games of all time. After all, who would know better than the listeners of One Life Left? It’s certainly taken up more time than I expected as there were so many variations on the gamenames ( Zelda [x] , Legend of Zelda: [x], Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, GTA: Vice City for example). And of course people who couldn’t spell (Tecken indeed..). I also took the [...]

We’re going all multimedia…
June 29th, 2009 Posted by Simon Byron…like an old CD-ROM. See this: It’s a boring dark square, isn’t it? Currently. But just before 7:00pm this evening, it’ll flicker into life like when Alexander Graham Bell invented the Bluray disc. And for an hour or so, you’ll be able to view StudiOLL LIVE as we broadcast to the nation’s capital over FM and the world over the Internet. It’s part of our ongoing commitment to break new ground in videogames radio. And it’s sure to be an unmitigated disaster. Listening live is the only way to get the full OLL experience, before the sanitised version is set [...]
