Your week starts here with URY's Officially Most Listened to show of 2009.
Live from Liverpool

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.


Unscripted Knock-Off

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.


Top Of The Drops
An hour of the newest, oldest and all round classic bass tunes. Stay tuned for the Drop of the Week!
'Creditors' by August Strindberg
The last production of the URY Festival of Drama from the national award winning drama team at University Radio York. Anxiously awaiting the return of his new wife, Adolph finds solace in the words of a stranger. But comfort soon turns to destruction as old wounds are opened, insecurities are laid bare and former debts are settled. Regarded as Strindberg's most mature work, "Creditors" is a darkly comic tale of obsession, honour and revenge. David Greig's version premiered at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in September 2008 and now comes to URY with an incredible student cast directed by Lewis Gray. The production, starring Georgia Bird, Ryan Lane and Dan Wood will be in the third week of the URY Festival of Radio Drama!
Helping Out

Raiding the URY vinyl archive, digging up scratchy old songs, keeping URY on air that little bit longer


In The Room with Joni Roome

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.


URY N&S: General Election 2019 - The Debate

theradioshowwithnoname

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.


Politics: What's Happened Now?

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.

Desert Island Floppy Discs

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.


Amateur Hour

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'. 


URY Evening Selection: Sam & Mark
Like a stunning compilation tape compiled by Tony Blackburn, this show cannot be turned off. Occasional guest presenters include campus celebrities James Framp and Toby Green. Regular features include Album of the Month, Snack Attack and Interview with a Campfire.

Anything goes. Not confined to one genre, we like alternative music.
Alumni Shows: Lockdowns To Be Cheerful - Part 3

A programme of music and words, designed to be transmitted over the radio.
Last term, I presented "33 Years In 2 Hours", a show so tightly crammed I barely got to say a word. This time... I can't be more specific, who knows what the world will look like by next week? Maybe I'll just play some of the experimental music I've enjoyed in recent years. And that Ian Dury song.


BOMBTRACKS

Ughh!
Hey yo, it's just another bombtrack...ughh!
Hey yo, it's just another bombtrack...yeah!
It goes a-1, 2, 3...

Hey yo, it's just another bombtrack
And suckas be thinkin' that they can fade this
But I'm gonna drop it at a higher level
'Cause I'm inclined to stoop down
Hand out some beat-downs
Cold runna train on punk ho's that
Think they run the game

But I learned to burn that bridge and delete
Those who compete...at a level that's obsolete
Instead I warm my hands upon the flames of the flag
As I recall our downfall
And the business that burned us all
See through the news and the views that twist reality

Enough
I call the bluff
Fudge Manifest destiny

Landlords and power Doors
On my people they took turns
Dispute the suits I ignite
And then watch 'em burn

With the thoughts from a militant mind
Hardline, hardline after hardline

Landlords and power boars
On my people they took turns
Dispute the suits I ignite
And then watch 'em burn

Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn

Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn

It goes a-1, 2, 3
Another funky radical bombtrack
Started as a sketch in my notebook
And now dope hooks make punks take another look
My thoughts ya hear and ya begin to fear
That ya card will get pulled if ya interfere

With the thoughts from a militant militant mind
Hardline, hardline after hardline

Landlords and power oars
On my people they took turns
Dispute the suits I ignite
And then watch 'em burn

Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn

Ughh
Hey yo, it's just another bombtrack
Yeah
Ughh
