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!
The indie music show for all your 00s, 90s and comeback must listens!
Join us for a chill chat session - we'll be talking about our experiences entering young adult life as well as playing some songs that we've recently been having on repeat - tune in if you need to escape for a while for some advice, real talk and discovering something new to add to your playlist.
Join Harry 'Who Does Law' Reeves, James from James from Jams from James from James, and AL for the festive special of NOW We're Talking!
Expect extra-special Christmas canoodley games, massive funnies, beef reports (or whatever meat/meat alternative you have on your Xmas dinner), NOW tunes and some top tier chat.
Now, that's what it is.
Tom's back in 23' with a *NEW* show idea (almost).
Join Tom for songs from the day of the show in history, AND listen as guests play the game that gave the show its name: Chart Smart!
Who will top the charts and WIN the coveted title of Chart Smart Champion!? Listen in to find out!
A Vinyl-Only music show, filled with tracks from our personal collections and what we find crate-digging in the UoY vaults, with possible attempts at wit between songs.
Welcome to Old Soul! This show features all the music I (Kiera) love — my fave oldies, pop music and songs I grew up listening to. If you've ever been told that your taste in music lives in the past, this show is for you!
Join me for some great tunes, with a bit of gossip about life and pop culture along the way <3
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.
One theme, one girl and as many songs as we can fit into one hour.
Every week I'll present to you a list of songs that share a common theme. Of course you are more than welcome to make your own suggestions both for themes and songs.
I recently hit 1010 songs on my liked songs. I'm going to clear it up a bit, so let's listen to some on the way.
Unlike Beyoncé, we make our own content. Join us as we exercise our contractual right to a maximum of 2 Beyoncé songs in an hour, plus as may features as we can find.
songs that fit a different theme every week, depending on the specific feeling i want to convey. some themes might include: homesickness, change, the ruins of love, pancakes and syrup, the freedom of singing loudly in the car, yearning, what a teenage summer feels like, self love, anger, and pride. basically i like words and i like songs.
What better way to mark URY's launch on DAB Digital Radio than to celebrate the greatest pop group of the 20th century, in guises largely unfamiliar. We'll have two hours of cover versions of ABBA songs, from a cappella to hard rock, from country to rap.
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?
It's showtime! Join me on a musical journey to the West End, Broadway and beyond. From old favourites to modern masterpieces, there really is something for everyone! So dust off your jazz shoes, warm up your voice and get ready to dance and sing along to some of the best songs from the stage and screen.
Music and humour. A show that aims to play songs you can dance to whilst also providing you with a laugh.
Raiding the URY vinyl archive, digging up scratchy old songs, keeping URY on air that little bit longer
Join Bee (who is going in with no taste in music) as she is given nothing but a vibe to stick to and is made to find songs to fit it. Hopefully she'll know who Beyoncé is by the end of the term
Will and Fred play and discuss an assortment of their favourite alternative, psychedelic, experimental, and indie rock songs and deep cuts from a wide selection of artists spanning from the 60s to the late 2000s / 2010s.
