Cat and Katy are leaving URY. Something they are very sad about. So to celebrate they are going out with a trilogy of wonderful programming. Chapter 1 will see them tackle Eurovision with all the Scooch they can manage. Will they cry? Only time will tell.
Cat and Katy have made it to the end of their trilogy. They aren't so happy to have made it to the end of their time at URY. Whilst there have been no tears yet be prepared for a veritable tidle wave of tears as the girls prepare to say goodbye to the University of York and everyone who has made it so special.
In this time of increasing insularism two students of semi to full international status are here to introduce you to some of the tunes originating from around the world and continue their ongoing debate about the semantic differences between "bangers", "belters" and how exactly these fall under the greater umbrella term of "tunes".

The Big Sofa graced the York Uni airwaves all the way back in 2001, when Rach was a psychology undergrad living in a breezeblock prison called Goodricke C Block.
Since then Rach has graduated (hurray! They said it would never happen!), moved away (now living in Mordor (Morden), London), worked three different jobs (evil corporate advertising; bonkers Virgin Radio; the BBC), birthed three kids (two boys, one girl), become a stand up comedian (three years in, still haven't done Live at the Apollo) and QUIT RADIO (sob.)
This last one makes her incredibly sad.
So Rach is ecstatic to be back behind a microphone. Join her for this one off two hour show and listen to the joy plastered all over her face.
Possibly insightful and entertaining conversation with possibly listenable music from Rosemary and George. We realised we had no social lives to speak of and thought radio would be a fun idea because at least we can hide in a confined room for an hour that isn't one of our own bedrooms.
Join us as we put ourselves in the bin before we leave URY for good!
My girlfriend left me. I'm graduating with no plans. Here's some sad songs.
