Reel Love, The Film Soundtrack Show. Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Tarantino is a show with a really long title. It also is a show which is about film scores whether filled with pop or classical. Each week we'll be hearing some silver screen brilliance from a different theme to set you up for the week ahead. So get your popcorn, get your drink and settle down for the reel start to your week.
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!
It's lockdown, it's midnight, and a masked vigilante is standing on a stool in a server room - it can only be one thing, the return of URY for Summer Term 2021! Tune in to hear what it sounds like when increasingly tired and stressed presenters dally about on air for a couple of hours, and see how long it takes us to start crying about Summer exams.
A one-off for consolidation week, Sunny explores the highs and lows of the semester so far, hopefully joined by some guests! Tune in for some fun stories, a selection of tracks, and a laugh to help carry us through the week.
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.
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.
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.
Raiding the URY vinyl archive, digging up scratchy old songs, keeping URY on air that little bit longer
It's Dee! It wasn't planned to be, but now it is! Yay!
The best in new music, old tunes you've mentally blocked out and wrestling theme tunes.
Joined as ever by Sir Tim Westwood and a questionable soundboard.
Always big.
Exactly one week before an historic and unpredictable election, URY News is joined by representatives of the Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat parties to discuss the key talking points of our election and fight for your votes, with analysis and context from other student media groups.
Jon blows the dust off of his old hard drives to uncover his collection of antique Christian Contemporary Music. Questions of faith aside, were the bands he listened to growing up actually any good? Secular music critics James and Ron join the show to help Jon decide.
What on earth is going on in the world? It's a fair question. Join Eloise as she tries to figure it out, with a hour-long news round up of all the UK and international political stories bracing the headlines. Don't worry, there'll be a few tunes in there, too - have to lighten the mood somehow.
The show invites members of academic staff to discuss everything between their speciality to favourite tea! Guests will also get the opportunity to choose records that they listened to when they were students and participate in quizzes on their own subject as well as ones they may not be so familar with...
Liv and Peter liven up your morning with an hour of questionably planned features, games, and chat...
In this pretentious and overly verbose classical music show, your host will meander, adagio style, upon a diverse variety (dead white men) of the infamous classical canon. I will linger (fermata style) on the facts and figures that will either send you into an instrumentally-induced sleep or fire up the musicologist buried within you, tingling your prefrontal cortex with scrupulous harmonic, structural and contextual analysis. In this highly sophisticated show, my knowledge and insight as an undergrad music student will be put to the test, as will my ability to engage listeners who are more atuned to the likes of Radiohead and Paramore with the likes of Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev. Can I bring you rondo to your senses?
Sam and the team look back over our last term of radio and discuss how and why it happened with those involved.
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.
Bill and Ben return with a new show and an equal amount of inadequacy. Can Will create content as quickly as Ben can mess up the controls? Or will both find their feet as newly crowned 2nd year presenters? Find out with brand new features such as 'Get Smart', 'Stranded with a song' and 'Film Fights' as well as the return of old favourites such as 'The Purt Locker' and 'What the heck is this stupid lyric'.
