Amy’s Curiosity Carousel is the radio show for people who can’t throw things away because what if they’re important later?
It’s a welcoming space for heart-headed hoarders, weird girls with tote bags full of inexplicable objects, and fandom-frenzied freaks who know that emotional-support trinkets aren’t “just junk,” but intricate keys to canon, and proudly headcanoned, lore.
Each episode revolves around a playful theme (like lucky charms, seasonal souvenirs, or obscure oddities). Amy shares her own curiosities, invites listeners to submit and discuss their most beloved items, and weaves in thematically related songs and artists along the way. The show celebrates thrift-store goblins, micro-collections, hyperfixations, internet obsessions, and that one tiny object you keep in your pocket just in case.
Expect silly games, dramatic object backstories, nostalgic spirals, chaotic joy, and music that feels like your inner monologue finally got a soundtrack.
If you’ve ever said:
“I’ll use this someday”
“This reminds me of a character”
“This song feels like a trinket”
“No, I can’t explain it - it just belongs to me”
…Then this is the show for you!
Playing music, for you ears!
It only comes round once a year, but the music team will be telling your their hot takes and predictions about the Brit Awards and the winners as it goes out live on air. Basically we are just planning on being Jack Whitehall but infinetely less funny. Tune in to arguably the biggest BritPop night of the year <3
My passion is music from the 1980s but other periods include some pretty decent tunes too! At least half of the tunes I play will be from the 1980s but I will intersperse songs from after (and before) when it feels appropriate.
A carefully curated selection of broadly "alternative" (whatever that means) tunes from the classic to the eclectic, with a special nod of fondness to the arty and pretentious. Yes, "classic alternative" is kind of a contradiction in terms, but here at Speed of Life, we embrace paradox to the point of meaninglessness. Occasional themed weeks provide welcome respite from the usual swirl of chaos.
A selection of mostly unrelated songs (possibly from movies), but nevertheless Alex happens to like!
Join me for a selection of tunes spanning from the 60s to the present day!
You can expect to hear plenty of Indie and Alternative Rock, but also a bit of Electronic, Jazz and R&B/Soul depending on what I'm enjoying at the time :)
University Radio York's flagship Sunday morning show. (for a small amount of time)
I played some quiet jazzy songs.
But I got bored of the idea when I realised that having the Sunday morning slot wasn't very impressive even if it was quite funny.
And also I was half awake.
Very nice life experience being forced to talk into a microphone in an empty room :)
I should probably listen back to these to make sure these audio clips don't cancel me but... for the most part, I trust that my that my younger self wouldn't get cancelled.
Feel free to listen back to these shows but I warn you- they're bad.
In this hour, I, Kate, will take you on a musical journey through time and taste, playing a wild selection of tunes from each decade - all connected by the same theme. Are you interested in how music about space has changed since the 60s? So are I!
The playlist mainly bops around Pop, Rock and indie music, but we are open to all genres if the occasion calls ;D
See you soon!
William King is rounding off three years of student radio with 24 hours of non-stop broadcasting. Sailors picking up URY probably have something wrong with their radio, but they can consider this hour a public service.
The double agent himself is back (They just can't get rid of me)! Coming to you live from the Liverpool Guild of Students in a studio kindly loaned out by Liverpool Guild Student Media. They're not on air right now but never let something so trival as technical difficulties™ get in the way of good radio and what better place to go than my old stomping gound at URY.
A show devoted to the finding of good quality, free music from the website bandcamp. If you enjoy music, but have little money and a clean consience then this is the show for you. After each show i will post the links to find each song i play, and the album it came from, completely free.
A show based around your requests, "All Things Go" - If appropriate of course. The show will vary from all sorts of genres and we will play as many of your requests. We will also fit in a few of our own requests too, but make sure you listen in as you can take control this hour.
It's that time of the year again! For a second year in a row Dee will be testing the limits of endurance the the sheer trial of a 4 hour show, but this time with guests (hopefully!). Come down and just sit on the air and talk utter nonsense for four hours!
Welcome to Raised on Rock with Jess and Gabbie; the show where we discuss, learn and reminisce about the music genre that underscored our childhood! If your music taste has ever been described as “dad rock” then this is the show for you. We pay tribute to the albums our dads owned, and the playlists we’ve created as we appreciate how they have shaped our elite music taste today. Expect to hear some iconic 1970s-1990s bangers, intertwined with fun facts about specific influential years in rock music.
Exactly what it says on the tin.
Not that radio shows come in tins.
But this one does, and it's a three decade old salted pork tin full of what will probably be recent London migrant and soon-to-be-former PhD student Matt Windsor's last ever show on URY before he finally stops being a student. Expect pretty much everything that can be expected from a washed up student radio DJ that was once referred to as URY's answer to Alan Partridge: an hour of awkward gaps between songs, awkward songs between gaps, and attempts to draw a close on 8ish years of somehow repeatedly being scheduled for shows despite having the radio nous of a loofah. Does anyone still use loofahs?
Bringing you a random selection of whatever tunes fall out of Matthew's metaphorical music album this week.
It's like URY Jukebox, but different.
Expect the good, bad and the ugly... If you like even one song, success!
Songs from the late 80s through to the present day that have made it into the public conciousness, but aren't in their own right hits, or a least aren't played regularly nowadays
this is just a tribute
