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.
Has Fresher's week made you tired? Hungover? Vomiting into your bedsheets, wondering why, oh god why, you got yourself in this dour predicament? If you answered no to any or all of these questions, you might actually be awake enough to listen to the Indie-Go Breakfast Special at 10AM this Thursday. We'll be serving up a full English of rock and indie sausage, with a squirt of Entertainment Ketchup, topped off with... er... fried egg something. I dunno, don't do metaphors.

Open The Pit: Hardcore music for hardcore people! + a tad of chill and acoustic when the time is right!
Show comprising 3 final year undergraduates taking a look at that inevitable question of 'what next?'... through the medium of entertainment. Alongside a special guest each week (we'll sort these- people with varying weird and wonderful things lined up for them after uni), we'll look to sift through one more potential life choice every week as we count down towards the end of university. The planned format of the show will look to include an interview with our special guest as they join us for a whole host of potential silly features including:
- Helen and Judy's travelling tips. Being seasoned travellers of Asia, the pair will reveal another wacky story from their travelling experiences each week.
- 'Fit it in my Fro' - special guest will look to fit a different object each week into Joe's afro. Feature will also include leaderboard based on nature of object chosen and how many they managed to fit in his hair.
- 'Joe's chimes' or a title to that effect. Comic song, recorded specially for the show every week, written by Joe on a subject messaged in to the show/something to do with the idea of 'what's next?'
- Interview with our special guest on what his/her plan is for next year and/or what they are currently doing having now graduated. Many exciting people lined up!
- 'Decipher Judy/Helen' or title to that effect- feature involving Joe/listeners attempting to guess certain scottish accented words in English or Gaelic.
Show's music will probably be around 6 songs and will be a competition between Joe, Helen and Judy (2 songs each) on who has picked the best music for that day. Potentially based around the 'what next' theme for that show!
In a nutshell, light-hearted entertainment show looking at the serious question of 'what's next?'. Aimed then at current final years but also applicable for all years. Will also look to have jingle for the show- playing on idea of 'tweedle Dum' (Helen/Judy), tweedle De (Helen/Judy) and Me (Joe).
The rivalry between York and Lancaster has a long history, full of conflict. Stemming from the War of the Roses that caused decades of civil war in the fifteenth century, this fierce rivalry lives on in the form of the largest inter-university sports tournament in Europe.
This year, #RosesAreWhite.
We break the schedule layout to bring you one last show from former programme controller Eiron Page, and pass the baton by way of radio to the new programme controller - Naomi - and also play some music, ostensibly chosen by you. The PM show Eiron always meant to do, but never did; because leaving things to the last minute is how he do.
*** The only show on URY to double as a bug report!™
The show will be discussing interesting evets that have occured within the press, tabloids and political sphere. It is really a way to inspire people to be more open with their views - and be able to share them without receiving judgement on their beliefs.
These little talks will be filled with bursts of music of all genres - ranging from the effortless glamour of Lana Del Rey to the psychedelic music of Arctic Monkeys. I have quite a wide range of preferences and there will most definetly be something for everyone!!!
Our show will feature totally original and groundbreaking games and segments such as: "Try to Accurately Ascertain the Piece of Music Being Simulated With Dissonant Noises by a Human Being", "Impartially in the News", "The G-Spot" (Guilty Pleasure Tracks), the audience participation-laiden "Awkward Questions", and "The Name Game", which carries a special forfeit for the loser each week, to be found on our Facebook Page here: https://www.facebook.com/JackandCat1/?fref=ts
Tune in for other, one-off broadcasting delights such as "Trump or Hitler?" and "Where's The Cheese?", as well as our unique brand of chat and mischief.

Record Store Day was conceived in 2007 at a gathering of independent record store owners and employees as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding nearly 1400 independently owned record stores in the US and thousands of similar stores internationally. The first Record Store Day took place on April 19, 2008. Today there are Record Store Day participating stores on every continent except Antarctica.
This is a day for the people who make up the world of the record store to come together and celebrate the unique culture and the special role these independently owned stores play in their communities.
