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.

Sunday Service Breakfast Broadcast

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.

URY Brunch: The Girl Power Hour(s)

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.


a very specific radio show

songs that fit a different theme every week, depending on the specific feeling i want to convey. some themes might include: homesickness, change, the ruins of love, pancakes and syrup, the freedom of singing loudly in the car, yearning, what a teenage summer feels like, self love, anger, and pride. basically i like words and i like songs.

Matt Windsor's Almost Definitely Last Ever Show, Probably

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?


Top Of The Drops
An hour of the newest, oldest and all round classic bass tunes. Stay tuned for the Drop of the Week!
Freshen Up for Freshers' Fair

It's that time of the year again - there'll be one stall giving out bags for some reason, so make sure you grab the bag for all the other random freebies you get from stalls you pretend to be interested in just to get the pens.

Freshers' Fair 2021 is nearly upon us - join me as we build up to it with some great music and chat!


Mike Wallbank's Rockabilly Riot!

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.

Complete Unadulterated Chaos

It's a show where I play quite literally any and every chaotic track I can think of. If you were expecting some kind of metric or order, then I'd stop reading now. However, if a snazzy mix of alternative tracks from all over the music-sphere is your kinda vibe, then tune on in.
