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.


Arctic News

Q: Where can you find an ocean without any water?
A: On a map! 

I solemnly swear it won't be as stupid as this joke. 


Nouse After Dark

Muse Radio Editor Jolie Whittingham and Nouse Radio Editor Isaac Wilson run through the topics and music that the Nouse team suggest in this laid-back, comical and more often than not dysfunctional evening radio show.


WK24: The Shipping Forecast

William King is rounding off three years of student radio with 24 hours of non-stop broadcasting. Sailors picking up URY probably have something wrong with their radio, but they can consider this hour a public service.


Bandcestors

LET'S PLAY A GAME: Guess today’s bands by their musical ancestors! We play music from bands/artists that have inspired this weeks chosen band... and you try guess who they are. Get it right? you choose next weeks band! 


Good Morning York!

Wake up and join Kory for a auditory morning pick up to get you going, hopefully one they'll arrive on time for more this time around.


Show? Show.

Yes, this is a show.


Matt Windsor's Almost Definitely Last Ever Show, Probably

Exactly what it says on the tin.

Not that radio shows come in tins.

But this one does, and it's a three decade old salted pork tin full of what will probably be recent London migrant and soon-to-be-former PhD student Matt Windsor's last ever show on URY before he finally stops being a student.  Expect pretty much everything that can be expected from a washed up student radio DJ that was once referred to as URY's answer to Alan Partridge: an hour of awkward gaps between songs, awkward songs between gaps, and attempts to draw a close on 8ish years of somehow repeatedly being scheduled for shows despite having the radio nous of a loofah.  Does anyone still use loofahs?


indie sleaze revival

feeling nostalgic? this energetic show features the best of#tumblrgirl music - electro-pop + electro-clash, indie rock, emo, and everything in between!!


Waldorf and Statler another 50 years

Will you still love us when we're 64? Richard and Kim did their last student URY show in June 1976.  This show will be hair raising if they had any left.


Freshen Up for Freshers' Fair

It's that time of the year again - there'll be one stall giving out bags for some reason, so make sure you grab the bag for all the other random freebies you get from stalls you pretend to be interested in just to get the pens.

Freshers' Fair 2021 is nearly upon us - join me as we build up to it with some great music and chat!


Mike Wallbank's Rockabilly Riot!

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.


this is not the best show in the world

this is just a tribute


Big Sister Hotline

This might be biased, but I think big sisters give the best advice ever. 

Hi, I'm Sarah and I've been a big sister for almost 20 years. I know my stuff guys. So, I'm bringing my advice to the airwaves.

Join me (and a guest) every week as we do a deep dive into your problems and help you solve them!

Literally just talking about beans for an hour. I have no idea why you'd listen to this.

Mmm, beans.


Out Of This World: <u>LIVE</u> from Northern Irela

Dan the Music Man
Sharing the music i love, mixed with requests, shout-outs, and chat from whoever's listening! Any style/genre of music, so long as its got a good tune or beat, i'm happy, and hope you are too :)
Fast Traffic

Some cars drive round in circles, probably breaking some speed limits. But for some reason we all love it and just pray nothing goes wrong. Here we react to the fast cars whilst being blatantly biased. This might as well be called 'The McLaren Fan Club', but you are still allowed to listen in if you support Red Bull (DUN DUN DUN DUN. MAX VERSTAPPEN.).
