Has Fresher's week made you tired? Hungover? Vomiting into your bedsheets, wondering why, oh god why, you got yourself in this dour predicament? If you answered no to any or all of these questions, you might actually be awake enough to listen to the Indie-Go Breakfast Special at 10AM this Thursday. We'll be serving up a full English of rock and indie sausage, with a squirt of Entertainment Ketchup, topped off with... er... fried egg something. I dunno, don't do metaphors.
Always big.
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.
Acoustics is back!
A comedic (hopefully) and disastrous (definitely) student radio show, created in the midst of exam season to let out some steam with live acoustic sessions from upcoming artists and curious questions leading to impossible debates.
If you enjoy the sweet sounds of mental anguish, you'll love Dial M for Toby. With more features than you could conceivably shake a stick at, there's something for everyone, and a lot of The Cure.
URY News Special - Student Media: York Hitting the Headlines
Join the national award winning URY News team for a special edition of the Newshour with George Lane.
This programme covers student media on campus - With all the recent scandalus headlines and questionable reporting techiniques, is student media a useful and necessary outlet? Or are student journalists just in it for enhancing future career prospects.
We speak with the student media, York Universty Students Union, external 'student' news sources, and industry experts including BBCs Chris Smith.
Tune in at 6pm, Wednesday 26th November 2014, live on ury.org.uk
Claire and Alice endeavour to make it through an hour of music and questionable conversation without breaking the studio or each other.
Show comprising 3 final year undergraduates taking a look at that inevitable question of 'what next?'... through the medium of entertainment. Alongside a special guest each week (we'll sort these- people with varying weird and wonderful things lined up for them after uni), we'll look to sift through one more potential life choice every week as we count down towards the end of university. The planned format of the show will look to include an interview with our special guest as they join us for a whole host of potential silly features including:
- Helen and Judy's travelling tips. Being seasoned travellers of Asia, the pair will reveal another wacky story from their travelling experiences each week.
- 'Fit it in my Fro' - special guest will look to fit a different object each week into Joe's afro. Feature will also include leaderboard based on nature of object chosen and how many they managed to fit in his hair.
- 'Joe's chimes' or a title to that effect. Comic song, recorded specially for the show every week, written by Joe on a subject messaged in to the show/something to do with the idea of 'what's next?'
- Interview with our special guest on what his/her plan is for next year and/or what they are currently doing having now graduated. Many exciting people lined up!
- 'Decipher Judy/Helen' or title to that effect- feature involving Joe/listeners attempting to guess certain scottish accented words in English or Gaelic.
Show's music will probably be around 6 songs and will be a competition between Joe, Helen and Judy (2 songs each) on who has picked the best music for that day. Potentially based around the 'what next' theme for that show!
In a nutshell, light-hearted entertainment show looking at the serious question of 'what's next?'. Aimed then at current final years but also applicable for all years. Will also look to have jingle for the show- playing on idea of 'tweedle Dum' (Helen/Judy), tweedle De (Helen/Judy) and Me (Joe).
