Losertown: the RaW years

Losertown was first broadcast on Radio Warwick (RaW) over 1998-1999, following the long-running Mr. Browne & Mr. Clover shows.

At best ramshackle, it had regular co-presenters (aka minions) helping with features such as horrible series Jizzy Jeff and the Fresh Pants, Pick of the Pops (on which many a random forgotten gem is discovered.... or not), the impossible competition The Big Orb, and the Tragically Unhip Record of the Week (where something from the unfashionable end of my record collection—usually Genesis—gets a spin to annoy everyone). Then we did random sketches, consumer tests and ranting. It filled the time I guess.

Losertown won an ‘FM-mie’ for best show on RaW's month as an FM RSL in 1999. But only because I slept with the Programme Controller, obv.
