University Radio York's flagship Sunday morning show. (for a small amount of time)
I played some quiet jazzy songs.
But I got bored of the idea when I realised that having the Sunday morning slot wasn't very impressive even if it was quite funny.
And also I was half awake.
Very nice life experience being forced to talk into a microphone in an empty room :)
I should probably listen back to these to make sure these audio clips don't cancel me but... for the most part, I trust that my that my younger self wouldn't get cancelled.
Feel free to listen back to these shows but I warn you- they're bad.
William King is rounding off three years of student radio with 24 hours of non-stop broadcasting. Sailors picking up URY probably have something wrong with their radio, but they can consider this hour a public service.
Unlike Beyoncé, we make our own content. Join us as we exercise our contractual right to a maximum of 2 Beyoncé songs in an hour, plus as may features as we can find.
Millie and Harrison have been through it all. They are both broken wrecks, savaged by years of toil and misfortune. So, every Thursday, they will come together to depart their wisdom to URY. Have a problem you want advice on? These two will do their level best to give you the second-rate solutions you deserve. Message in while demand lasts!
"Our Dream Show" offers a deep and contemporary perspective on the subconscious experience. Every week, a new selection of dreams that we will explore, accompanied by great music!
Exactly what it says on the tin.
Not that radio shows come in tins.
But this one does, and it's a three decade old salted pork tin full of what will probably be recent London migrant and soon-to-be-former PhD student Matt Windsor's last ever show on URY before he finally stops being a student. Expect pretty much everything that can be expected from a washed up student radio DJ that was once referred to as URY's answer to Alan Partridge: an hour of awkward gaps between songs, awkward songs between gaps, and attempts to draw a close on 8ish years of somehow repeatedly being scheduled for shows despite having the radio nous of a loofah. Does anyone still use loofahs?
Will you still love us when we're 64? Richard and Kim did their last student URY show in June 1976. This show will be hair raising if they had any left.
A show to turn even the lamest of squares into far-out foot tappers.
Over the course of the show, extreme levels of rockabilly will be pumped through the airwaves of URY, from Elvis Presley to The Big Bopper, all with the intention of providing maximum satisfaction.
The show will consist of anecdotes relating to the music in question, explorations into the popular themes and concepts of rockabilly/rock 'n' roll (such as a show dedicated to 'Death Discs'), as well as interviews with individuals who remember watching the rock 'n' roll stars of the 1950s in their heyday. Playing the big hits of the 1950s, as well as with the secret 7" golddust that's been hiding in the attic, this show will provide a roster of early rock 'n' roll and rockabilly that will make you want to turn your fringe into a quiff, your Volkswagen into a Cadillac, and your Carling into a Cherry Coke.
'Page one (we don't explain names)' is an easy-going and fresh take on radio, featuring the brave Matt and handsome Will in talks about our lives and life in general. If you've ever wondered what radio sounds like, now's your chance. Do as everyone else will be doing: tune in and die!
Music will be peachy and brilliant.
Chef Will is back in the URY studio, bringing you a throwback to radios only cooking based quiz show hosted by a two times national student radio award winning chef on your radio this Sunday at 3pm.
Ever wondered what happens when you get 3 professional musicians travelling in a van for long periods of time to a gig with nothing else to do? Well this is a bit of an insight into that… Some of the things we have discussed in the past have included "How many grains of sugar do you get when you ask for "one sugar"?" or "What if you woke up, and you were a duck in a Foie Gras factory?" Or simply "What is reality?". Join us for two hours of deep discussions, or two hours of nonsense. You decide. ***PLEASE NOTE*** Some topics may be slightly contentious or sensitive, the views raised in this show are the views of the individuals, NOT URY, UoY or any other affiliated party. ***
Presented by: Will Pitchfork, Harry Garbutt & Chris Camm
The dynamic duo are back on the airwaves for another year to share with you their experiences and tales of life in the small apple. Shows will continue be a cocktail of light hearted humour and bad music choices.
Will and Fred play and discuss an assortment of their favourite alternative, psychedelic, experimental, and indie rock songs and deep cuts from a wide selection of artists spanning from the 60s to the late 2000s / 2010s.
Jordan and Tom and Jordan are alive and kicking in their second year! With the looming Spectre of work placements, will the guys take this uni thing a bit more seriously?
Probably not
URY’s established experts of dry wit and nattering sit down to discuss where the cards lie after the country’s first “virtual” A-Level results day. Expect irreverent giggling, massive amounts of ‘closet’ jokes and guest appearances from anyone who can guess the comically bad password to their meeting room.
This results day from 7 am to midnight, URY will be broadcasting LIVE coverage as people receive their A-Level results across the country. With fresh content specifically aimed at the University of York's offer holders and those on the clearing lines, tune in for a day of top (available) presenters giving you the true York experience.... or Yor-xperience... (don't worry, you'll get used to all the “Yor-” puns)
Are you sick and tired of listening to the same old music. Well you have come to the right place! Each week we offer a wide range of alternative music from genres such as Electro Swing, Chap Hop, Electro House and much more. We are always open to suggestions for songs to be played on the show. The show will consist of the top ten best pieces of music from the weekly genre. We have something for everyone!
William King's mix of news, conversation and music will ease you into the week.
My show revolves around music and as little talking a possible. I will play anything from 60's classics to alternative new exciting bands which I feel are pretty damn jammy and should be more widely known. If you're someone always looking for new bands to become obsessed with, or just a silly procrastination dance around your room to some nostalgic beats, then choon in and I will just keep whapping them choons out.
We've blinded YSTV!!! Mwhahahahah! Now they will only be able to make radio.... for the short span of 3 hours.
For 24 hours URY will be broadcasting non-stop to raise money for essential broadcasting equipment, as a part of the Uni of York's Challenge Week. To donate, or to find out how you can support us head here: yorkchallengeweek.hubbub.net
Chef Will's parents are visiting and they want to be famous and go on the radio, so they are here doing a desert island disks kind of thing whilst Will trys not to be embarrassed.
Join Tony for a variety show! anything can happen here, but he mostly plays music, with a rotating course of delectable dishes of sound for you to enjoy!
He focuses on listener interactivity, too - be sure to send in a message, and he'll get right to it!
Be warned; he will talk your ear off. There's no doubt about it.
Can't sleep? Feel the need to listen to some really odd music in the early hours of the morning? This is the show for you. Join me as I play an eclectic mix of underground music, ranging from brass house , to expermental hip-hop, to math rock and North African electronic jazz funk stuff. It will be eye opening. If you need someone to talk to and you don't want to ask one of your flatmates how to use a tin opener, I've got that covered too. Jim. x
