I've got some free time so let's play some tunes (a.k.a how many radio shows can I get in before I graduate)
Credit to Jamie Parker-East for the show art.
At the start of each show, my hastily-written computer code picks a random date from the 60s, 70s or 80, and I have to fill 58 minutes with music and news from that date. The URY record library gets a bit patchy if we go back to the 60s, so wish me luck!
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.
Playing the best new local alternative music and keeping you up to date on upcoming shows in York.
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?
URY bids farewell to the end of term with a day of shows.
In this segement three contestants battle it out to complete tasks set by the Taskmaster.
Playing music from the leftfield side of 70's 80s & 90s, for the final show of the term Stewart explores highlights of the NME Top 100 Albums, originally broadcast on URY in 1990.
Back for one last hurrah (he's said that before) The Nic Munday Show is back again. Tune in for two hours of fun-filled features, great tunes and just a bit of a laugh. Featuring the old favourite, Film Review Time.
The best of today's house music, and some classic throwbacks, live in the mix.
The dynamic duo are back on the airwaves for another year to share with you their experiences and tales of life in the small apple. Shows will continue be a cocktail of light hearted humour and bad music choices.
It's time for me to finally leave. Three terms have now gone by with a lot of very poor quality shows under my belt. Let's end this farce: goodbye to all of me. Exeunt Keoni.
York Yesterday / The Mole
Sam and the team look back over our last term of radio and discuss how and why it happened with those involved.
A show that has not been made yet but will be soon
What with isolation and everyone being so far away from one another, there are many things people might miss. Glasshouse Karaoke, the sport socials and the performance society shows. But what I miss most is Jazz Night at V Bar. So, what can we do? Join me, Joe Spence, for two hours of Sunday Night music to get through you this time in quarantine. We might even have a few live quiz questions throughout to keep you on your toes, and the best bit is... the music is chosen by YOU!! Tune in and be transported to the V(irtual) Bar.
Once a week, we invite specialty music show hosts to showcase their favourite tracks from their chosen genre. Given the eclectic mix of shows on URY, you can expect something entirely different every week.
This is the radio show which will take you back in time to the 00s - a phenomenal decade for music in which a lot of us grew up!
With regular 'Guess the Year' shows, news stories and facts from the decade, and not to mention all the great tunes that came from that time, Noughty But Nice is sure to be a great reason to start listening to URY!
A new show, playing random music, bringing you the best from Matt Strat's head.
It's up to you to decide, is this better than the other shows with names that are a blatent rip-off of this show?
To my employer, don't worry, this show was recorded on the weekend.
A weekly delve into my favourite artists, albums, songs, genres, lyrics, live shows and more - I listen to pretty much anything!. I'd like to think I'm qualified having been in the music team since I joined URY. I have a new theme each time so make sure to tune in :))
Stage is the URY show for all things student theatre! We'll bring you the latest theatre news on campus with up to date reviews, opportunities and exclusive previews for the newest DramaSoc plays, CHMS musicals and more! Tune in every Saturday for your theatre fix.
Join Keoni for a week of shows at an hour when students are more likely to consume their breakfasts.
It's another simulcast to round off the night—this time from URY.
Every alternative indie release since 1987, in two hours.
In the 1980s, I committed crimes against music, right here on URY. They've sentenced me to two hours' community service, to put the record straight.
(Sunday 25 October, 4-6pm)
