Guests are provided with ridiculous problems that nobody has. They have five minutes to design an original invention and then give their pitch. Three rounds, one winner, zero braincells. What could go wrong?
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.
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.
Kick off your Monday with an extra hour of Three 4 All to celebrate the festive season!
A Sci-Fi murder mystery podcast set in a dystopian city where a lone robot seeks to solve a 100-year old cold case created by a thrid year University of York Theatre student Reginn Kolbeinsson

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?
URY bids farewell to the end of term with a day of shows.
In this segement three contestants battle it out to complete tasks set by the Taskmaster.
Three girls having a quater life crisis, chatting rubbish about being in their 20s, playing a mix of tunes, and having a giggle!
A special broadcast celebrating three years at UOY including special guests, live performances and brand new features.
An hour of pure, unadulterated, auditory genius. #banter
Want to hear URY presenters' hot-takes on the Eurovision tracks the day before the final? Of course you do! Join Jack, Kaja, Will and special guests for three hours of unadulterated Eurovision joy!
It's time for me to finally leave. Three terms have now gone by with a lot of very poor quality shows under my belt. Let's end this farce: goodbye to all of me. Exeunt Keoni.
An hour long show filled with music, special guests and the best banter your ears will ever be seduced by.
Presented by Matt Ingram and Jack Spring
Live from Lancaster University we bring you three days commentary, reporting and updates from the biggest varsity tournament in Europe. Can the White Rose retain the trophy they won last year or will home advantage see Lancaster take it back?
Cat Soave and Michael Brennan return to the URY airwaves after over three years apart for more top tunes, top features and, of course, top chat.
A fun laid back show playing a combination of current chart hits and new music (from both new and already established artists) with a few segments - hopefully :D
In URY, legends are told of the mystical time of 13:50. This time, known to some as Time O'Clock, is a wonderous minute of every day where members of URY past and present come together to appreciate our great station. Join Alex and Michael as we build up to this great time, celebrate appropriately, and then try and think of something to do for the remaining 8 minutes and 45 seconds of the show.
William King is rounding off three years of student radio with 24 hours of non-stop broadcasting. Can he push through with only four hours to go?
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.
Doctor Who is back!!! Join us in analysing the three 60th specials and having many opinions.
William King is rounding off three years of student radio with 24 hours of non-stop broadcasting. Let’s chat is the space for a conversation about anything whatsoever!
