Roses 2009: The Russell Truran Show
The LAST EVER series of The Russell Truran Show! Boo hoo! It's got all the usual silly features (and also the return of a silly feautre from the first series: Higher or Lower), Chris the Crow, me (Russell Truran- just in case you thought someone else would be presenting The Russell Truran Show!) and lots of silly emails as well if I know my listeners... So LISTEN NOW, while it's still on air...
Six Degrees of....
This show works off the idea that "every person in the world is within sex degrees of separation from any other person" but applies it to music. The aim of the show is to provide a variation of different music spanning different genres but still finding a link from one song to the next i.e. this band toured with, has a member who featured in one of the songs of, has the same record label as, appeared in the same soundtrack for a film as, has a member who is married to a member of....etc.
The Drop
The Drop is a showcase of the very best bass music around, with Dubstep, Drum and Bass, Breakbeat and Bassline, we'll be dissapointed if you can still walk straight!

Williams and Wong Show

A topical comic talkshow in which we discuss our campus encounters and other funny stories interspersed with the occasional song of our choice relevant to that which we discuss. Similar to the Ricky Gervais show and Richard Herring's 'As It Occurs to Me'. Genre: we're still trying to figure it out, although we think it's on for a winner.

A Tribute To Radio Free Europe

This show will pay a tribute to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, the propaganda station that started during the Cold War and is still on air in some countries. Eevery week we'll learn of a short interesting story from RFE's golden days. For each show we'll have music from a different decade.


URY:PM - The "What is the character limit for these show names anyhow? Is there one? Perhaps there should be one? I mean, this one is really stretching out the schedule table. And still it continues. Surely nobody will ever need a show name to be this long?" Show, the Absolute Last No-More-After-This Complete and Utter Final Show of All Time (Perhaps?!?!) of Eiron Page (with Naomi Gildert, Who - We Hope - Has Many More Shows to Come)

We break the schedule layout to bring you one last show from former programme controller Eiron Page, and pass the baton by way of radio to the new programme controller - Naomi - and also play some music, ostensibly chosen by you. The PM show Eiron always meant to do, but never did; because leaving things to the last minute is how he do.

*** The only show on URY to double as a bug report!™


Building Bridges - The Road to Rock and Roll

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 Night Call

A show dedicated to all things synthwave, the breakout electronic genre featuring old-school synths inspired by the pop hits and movie soundtracks of the 1980's. James and Bernie will drive you through the night across the genre's expansive indie scene, with the occasional genuine retro hit for good measure. If you're a fan of contemporary styles and still wish we used cassettes, then this is the show for you!


The Waldorf and Statler: 50 Years

The old guys are back, but will you still love us now we are 64?  For
tonight's show Kim and Richard are departing from their usual '50 years'
format for a looser themed selection.  There's still likely to be  plenty of
music that featured in their 1976 shows (yes, they really are that old), but
at least Richard will try to show they haven't completely lost touch with
current music. No origami this time.


Roger That: Over and Out
