Amy’s Curiosity Carousel

Amy’s Curiosity Carousel is the radio show for people who can’t throw things away because what if they’re important later?

It’s a welcoming space for heart-headed hoarders, weird girls with tote bags full of inexplicable objects, and fandom-frenzied freaks who know that emotional-support trinkets aren’t “just junk,” but intricate keys to canon, and proudly headcanoned, lore.

Each episode revolves around a playful theme (like lucky charms, seasonal souvenirs, or obscure oddities). Amy shares her own curiosities, invites listeners to submit and discuss their most beloved items, and weaves in thematically related songs and artists along the way. The show celebrates thrift-store goblins, micro-collections, hyperfixations, internet obsessions, and that one tiny object you keep in your pocket just in case.

Expect silly games, dramatic object backstories, nostalgic spirals, chaotic joy, and music that feels like your inner monologue finally got a soundtrack.

If you’ve ever said:

“I’ll use this someday”

“This reminds me of a character”

“This song feels like a trinket”

“No, I can’t explain it - it just belongs to me”

…Then this is the show for you!

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.
