Halifax moves in to the sound of URY
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.
Join URY all around campus as we broadcast live througout move-in days and Freshers' Week.
A mixture of fine beats and a tale woven across episodes of a movement that changed music – from its beginnings in the block parties of the 1970s to the golden age of the late '80s and modern day manifestations.

It's like Thane and Lucy: in for Steve, but better. This term we've given up on Steve, he was never there, emotionally or physically, so we moved on. We been so popular filling in for Steve that a few other people asked us to fill in for them. Here's a radio show about it.
Charlotte just wants you to all have a jolly good time. Oldies you can move your feet to in the library and chat you can enjoy whilst having a cuppa.
The History Programme explores a new historical topic each week with insightful analysis by presenter Jack Staples-Butler, a URY News veteran and history enthusiast. Visiting a new place on the timeline of human history every episode, the programme will feature investigation and explanation of diverse epochs, movements and personalities. From the late Roman Republic and the assassination of Julius Caesar, to Henry VIII and the Reformation, to the Second World War and the Swinging Sixties, The History Programme takes listeners to the heart of enthralling and divisive historical arguments and debates with the perspectives of experts and eminent scholars living and dead. History is the constant dialogue of past and present - come and join the discussion.
James Brookes (and the sometime producer Jenny) move from breakfast to brunch and get a lie-in on a Saturday! Fascinating facts, a look at the morning papers and general chat mean the weekend is finally here.
Who said rock needs to be moody and agressive? In this show I play radio friendly, fun rock music in an effort to encourage pop listeners to branch out. With occasional theme shows such as woman rock stars only, or a celebration of great Guitar Solos, this shows ams to deliver a fun way for the casual music consumer to discover a new genre!
The 'beards' of the URY Movember team will be 'Braving the Shave', live on air! The whole thing will be recorded for anyone that can't come down, and our cries of sadness as the beard comes off will echo down the airwaves. We'll be live outside James College and the YUSU building.

Playing all the latest hip-hop and R&B and pretending we found it first. Join Reece and Sophy for an hour of inane chat, poorly designed games and of course, some amazing music.
Fab journey to discover the wonders of the world and universe, without having to move from the sofa. Anything bizarre, magical, or exceptional analysed to bits - how it changes the world from fashion and design to politics and economy. Like Nautilius, we will submerge into the unknown and meander in phenomenal. With a bit of luck afterwards we will at least appear to be knowledgeable and enlightened individuals.
Every week a new topic with games, interviews and discussions!
