niversity Radio York's national award winning team presents our most ambitious drama to date, which sees the English Civil war turned on its head when a third force enters the battle in this alternative history thriller. Six years have past since the events of Part 1 and an uneasy peace has been agreed. But with the arrival of The Dommonel and missionaries from Golekh englands peace stands on a knife edge. Based on the acclaimed novel and available to hear worldwide at www.ury.org.uk, with two feature length Episodes over two consecutive weeks!Speed of Life
A carefully curated selection of broadly "alternative" (whatever that means) tunes from the classic to the eclectic, with a special nod of fondness to the arty and pretentious. Yes, "classic alternative" is kind of a contradiction in terms, but here at Speed of Life, we embrace paradox to the point of meaninglessness. Occasional themed weeks provide welcome respite from the usual swirl of chaos.

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?

Playing music from the leftfield side of 70's 80s & 90s, for the final show of the term Stewart explores highlights of the NME Top 100 Albums, originally broadcast on URY in 1990.
What's the Alternative, Kenneth?
A true alternative mix of music from today and past decades. No music from the charts or music up its own arse. Bit of chat in between from its eclectic hosts. No fat chicks. or kittens.Rock Revival
Tune in for a trip back to the 60s and 70s classic rock & blues with Carlos and Floris. There might be occasional 80s/90s alternative rock songs here and there!.Time on Your Hands
Witness (through your ears) the competence of Jamie and Ruairidh at idle chit chat, profound wisdom and the occasional song.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.

The Kitty Chrisp Show
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.

music to dance to, music to cry to <3
listen for tonal whiplash between the most saccharine of bubblegum pop, the most gut-wrenching of post-punk ballads, and all the eclectic things which exist in between. whether the music brightens up your day or makes it a whole lot worse, it'll surely leave you with something new!
