A collective of music specialists trace and discuss political, rhythmical and cultural patterns in a journey around the globe through music which normally remains underneath the radioplay radar. World music, reggae, jazz, blues, anything new, alternative and exciting.
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.
The URY Panto this year, which can be revealed as Oliver Twist, or should I say we are going to put our Twist on Oliver Twist. (No the jokes don't get better from here)

The Big Sofa graced the York Uni airwaves all the way back in 2001, when Rach was a psychology undergrad living in a breezeblock prison called Goodricke C Block.
Since then Rach has graduated (hurray! They said it would never happen!), moved away (now living in Mordor (Morden), London), worked three different jobs (evil corporate advertising; bonkers Virgin Radio; the BBC), birthed three kids (two boys, one girl), become a stand up comedian (three years in, still haven't done Live at the Apollo) and QUIT RADIO (sob.)
This last one makes her incredibly sad.
So Rach is ecstatic to be back behind a microphone. Join her for this one off two hour show and listen to the joy plastered all over her face.

Grace and Jollan have always dreamt of opening a coffee shop on a narrow boat but until they finish their degrees and have £70,000 to buy a narrow boat, a radio show will have to do.
