On this week's URY Newshour the controversy over the Facebook 'Spotted' page continues - we talk to creators of similar pages at universities throughout the North of the country who weigh in on the debate. Also, the library has stopped offering holiday loans - we talk to students affected. Plus Bob Hughes tells us about the recent YUSU Sexual Harassment Survey and YUSU President Kallum Taylor joins us live in the studio for a chat. All this plus your latest campus sport news. The URY Newshour, Wednesdays at 6 on URY.
In the wake of the 'Spotted' Facebook saga which caused the York page to stop posting updates temporarily, we talk to the creators of other 'Spotted' pages at Northern universities. URY's Ben Bason talks to the anonymous administrator of Durham University's page and Rachael Venables chats live to the elusive 'Mrs Robinson' who created the page for the Newcastle University Robinson Library. We get their perspective on the controversy in York and a fascinating glimpse into the processes and people behind the pages. From the URY Newshour, Wednesdays at 6 on URY.
Last year, a national survey revealed that York students were some of the least sexually-active in the UK. Tess Humphrey speaks to students to find out why. Produced by Tess Humphrey
In this week's episode of The Blurb Anna Henley takes a look at the origins of 007 and our panel discusses the 2012 Bad Sex Awards for literature. We also bring you the top ten places to buy books both for your course and reading pleasure.
It's here! By popular demand, the podcast of this year's University Radio York Christmas Panto - Starring Karl Kennedy (or as some people call him, Alan Fletcher) is now available. We left it up to our listeners to vote for what story they wanted us to adapt this year- and they chose Cool Runnings. We, however, decided a panto based on Cool Runnings would be stupid. And quite possibly racist. So we did Rumplestiltskin instead. So sit back with a Mince Pie and some Mulled Wine and enjoy the URY Christmas Panto 2012. Starring: Alan Fletcher, Rachael Venables, Ben Bason, Harry Whittaker, Andrew Durant, Tom Edwards, Kirsty Rogers, Karl Bos, William Chalk, Charles Lewis, Ellie Wright, Rory Foster, Jay Glover, Helen Marrison and John Wakefield Written By: James Bugg, Ellie Wright, Ben Bason, William Chalk, Charles Lewis, Meg Roberts, Karl Bos and Bex Elson
