Tom Morello once said that ‘every successful, progressive, radical or revolutionary movement that has ever been seen has had a great soundtrack’. We bring you these soundtracks. Each week we have a different theme and movement, playing the songs that have provided impetus for change and given people a voice.
A mixture of fine beats and a tale woven across episodes of a movement that changed music – from its beginnings in the block parties of the 1970s to the golden age of the late '80s and modern day manifestations.

Capturing the eclectic nature of pretentious tomfoolery and japes from Daisy Hale and Bryony Cleary. With a current buzzword every week, we talk (more often fight) about music, movies and the current fragility of our ecosystem in the face of growing climate change.
From the makers of Big Cheese on Campus (a show you've probably never heard of but it was fun, honest) comes a spectacle of wit, cheesy pop and general messing around that may change the face of radio as we know it or failing that, give you an hour to kill between work.
Join Naomi as she journeys through playlists of musical significance from throughout her undergraduate years at York. A reflection on change, influence and the passage of time.
Fab journey to discover the wonders of the world and universe, without having to move from the sofa. Anything bizarre, magical, or exceptional analysed to bits - how it changes the world from fashion and design to politics and economy. Like Nautilius, we will submerge into the unknown and meander in phenomenal. With a bit of luck afterwards we will at least appear to be knowledgeable and enlightened individuals.
Every week a new topic with games, interviews and discussions!
As the saying goes, everyone gets theirs. University bigwigs, students, and campus in general have finally had enough of Jonny Long and Callum McCulloch.
In the ultimate act of media censorship, the powers that be have created an artificial island in the lake by central hall, and have duly marrooned our two entrepid protagonists upon it.
However, in an age of plummetting league table places, a disaffected student body, and general lack of extraordinarily funny people, the boys have been given a radio show to pass their time in exile, and also the option of recruiting one more person for their wiley band of vagabonds.
Therefore, they will be holding tryouts, live on air. There will be challenges, we will critique the songs you wish to bring with you, your luxury item better be on our list of things we need.
It's going to be sort of like The Apprentice, Only Connect, The X Factor, Raven, and a certain BBC Radio 4 radio show (that we can't remember the name of) all rolled into one.
The critics have called it a gamechanger, our mother's have called it a 2:2 waiting to happen.
All we know is that it's going to pop off in a big way.
It's dogs doing a student radio show.
Get ready for some proper serious tuneage!
Ever felt a connection to a song? Want tunes experimental, classic or sometimes long? Or do 'deep cuts' let you relax? Or simply want to find the right track to change a lightbulb to (you heard right)?!
We're all about finding music we hope you find great.
Join us every week to delve into the depths behind some quality music, listen to some worthy (or questionable...) anecdotes, and share your opinions and tastes with us too!
So - kick back after your Sunday roast, get that open fire crackling in the background and tune in to If You've Heard This, It's Already Too Late!

Alumni Shows: Anything but the 80s. As a change from his regular Sunday evening 80s shows, David Hemingway explores music from other decades. most of which has probably never been played on URY before. The first hour is an eclectic mix of weird, sometimes baffling, but always engaging music; in the second hour, we settle down a specially curated late-night mix of laid-back sounds.
Each week Scarlet will be playing ten new songs from her ten favourite artists, the songs change but the artists stay the same
Ten Artists, Ten Tunes, all at Ten O'clock- it sounds like a perfect Ten!
By golly gee, it turns out I haven't done a two hour show of my own yet. Let's change that.
Welcome to An Inconvenient Show! Aka, not your average sustainability and environmental awareness podcast. Climate change is unavoidable and for good reason. But the scale of the issue can feel overwhelming. How are any of our daily positive actions supposed to make a difference, when they barely feel like a drop in the ocean? And that's if we can even pick where to start! Join Claudia Milani-Santarpia Vargas and Scarlet Desorgher (and their exciting guests) as they discuss all things climate change and sustainability. But most importantly, what WE can do to help as students and why every action matters. Whether you're most concerned about the loss of biodiversity, atmospheric degradation, or microplastics, we promise you'll find something to spike your interest. Are you in?
Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and URY
It's been far too long since I've done a show here. Let's change that. And in true URY style, let's not give any thought to its concept. No plan, no script, just content.
There's a touch rugby tournament going down on 22 Acres, raising money for the Oddballs Foundation and Coppafeel, and URY are here to bring the tunes! If you have a request, come and say hi - we'll play anything you want (within reason) in exchange for a small donation :D
Yeah this show is near-incomprehensible, the cast changes every week and the music is insane, enjoy!
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.
