    At the centre of it all is Randy Williams – also known as the “Sultan of Slowjamastan”. When he’s not lording over coyotes, desert iguanas and roughly 25,000 “citizens” who call his desert dictatorship home, he’s the programme director for Z90 and Magic 92.5 radio stations in San Diego and is known across the airwaves as “R Dub”. Since 1994, he has also hosted the radio show Sunday Night Slow Jams, which is now syndicated to more than 250 stations worldwide.
