Resonance FM in London is one of those things that I miss about the city - a totally surreal radio station, operating on a shoe string budget and ran on copious amounts of dedication and a fair amount of oddity (both from the people who work on the shows and the shows themselves). It’s also the UK’s only art radio station and one of the few places where you can hear some truly great music regularly alongside the most intriguing and captivating radio programmes you’ve heard in a long time.

Amongst the myriad of good, and downright mentalist, programmes on offer are some I can’t recommend enough - such as the Rhythm-Incursions show presented by my good friends Mr. Trick and Waxfactor. And another one that’s come to my attention is One Life Left, a gaming related podcast which recently topped the iTunes download chart, a first in the station’s history. The podcast is a mix of reviews, news, trivia and other gaming related non-sense and is produced and presented by famous and not-so-famous contributors from inside the industry.

You can download the award winning show 33 and all the previous sessions over at onelifeleft.com. Click on the archives section or subscribe to the feed.

I’ve also got a soft spot for Resonance because they’re the station on which Turntable Radio, the show I present, started and still play host to the podcasts I regularly air. Unfortunately following what seemed like a stroke of luck in funding last year, they’ve now suffered a massive set back and are down in the shitter money wise, and so they’re having to raise as much money as possible to keep the station and all its shows going. So drop by the site and donate a penny or two thousand - resonancefm.com.
