- Rocktopia
Rocktopia is a popular student-based radio show broadcast from Imperial College London, Mondays 7-8PM. It can be found on [http://www.icradio.com ICradio.com] . Its hosts, Nathan Cohen and Nico Cousens, are currently studying at Imperial - Medicine and Chemistry respectively.
The show mainly plays rock music although certain other songs are played if relevant (e.g. current affairs or simply for humour). The show also focuses on e-mails and chat with fellow students/other listeners.
Current Features On The Show
Battle Of The Song - Two songs from different bands compete for the listeners' vote. Usually Nathan will joke that this sounds like Battle Of The Somme and a debate on the number of casualties will follow.
Mr. Scream - From Wayne's World 2 indicates that it is 7:30PM
Hot Topic - E-mails on a current event in world news/presenter's experiences.
Gone Fishin' - An intentional mistake is used during the show, prompting a listener to e-mail in to correct them. They therefore take the bait and are 'caught' causing them to be ridiculed on air.
Joke Of The Day
Nico's Love Corner - Nico reads out e-mails sent in/made up and tries to sort it out.
Quiztopia - Two guests battle it out for the coveted "Cosmo Kramer T-Shirt" by answering questions (often littered with traps and double negatives).
