The show where Alex Towells and a guest sit in the studio for an hour and plan the show as they go: no pre-loaded songs, no jingles, no script!
Hi! I'm Towells. I'm currently self-isolating, because I was in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19. So, what better to do than to resurrect my old show about being at home? Join me for two hours of trying not to get FOMO too bad.
The sky is blue, the sun is shining, and you'd be able to see both really well if it wasn't so gosh darn cloudy - It's Friday Morning, and Welcome Week is drawing to a close. But what's it been like from a Fresher's perspective? Join Alex Towells and honest-to-goodness Fresher Scarlet Desorgher for a look back on Welcome week and a look forward to a year of university that's going to be full of new experiences for everyone...
The sky is blue, the sun is shining, and you'd be able to see both really well if it wasn't so gosh darn cloudy - It's Friday Morning, and the week is drawing to a close. Join Scarlet Desorgher, Claudia Milani and Alex Towells for a look back on the week, the weather and the quality of the tea they made that morning.
It is like Ronseal in that it does exactly what it says on the tin.
It's the middle of the week. You've been picked on in your webinar, the reading didn't make sense and even at double speed the lectures are beginning to drag. You deserve a break. Join Alex Towells for an hour of chill tunes and laid-back chat - go on, you've earned it.
Sleep is for the weak. Radio is for the strong. Join Towells and Q for a show that may or may not be an out-of-body experience for all involved.
Yeah this show is still called Thursday Night Fever Dream even though it's on Friday now. Deal with it, we're lazy.
Have you ever wondered how you can get involved in the world of football without being good at the sport? That's what this podcast is all about! Alex Towells talks to a different guest from the world of football each episode about what they do, how they got there and how you can do it too.

Keoni loves parody shows. So, he’s planned another! The twist? Every word, every pause, every mistake - all planned, all written, all seen by Towells for the first time as the mics go live. It’ll be crazy. It’ll be hectic. It’ll be scripted.
An hour event with Alex Towells and Keoni D'Souza

Hi! I'm Towells. It's Christmas soon, and here on URY you'll be hearing way too many Christmas specials over the next week or so. So, for this show, you can enjoy basically the opposite of that. What's the opposite of Christmas? Let's find out together...
Now the end of term has arrived, and we don’t have anything better to do with ourselves, we thought we’d ruin our sleep schedules for a laugh. Join the URY gang as we pull an all nighter for your amusement, and to prove that we can.
Alex Tant-Brown has been given the Early Late Shift - late in the day, but early in this all-night extravaganza. Grab a midnight snack and join us for two hours of sleep-deprived revelry.
Sleep? Where we're going, we don't need sleep.
Alex Towells gives two guests the daunting task of coming up with a radio segment, with the only prompt being a random word genrateed at the start of the show. Sometimes, it will go well, other times this will be an absolute car crash of a radio show. It's student radio, it'll be fiiiiiiiiiiiiine...
Listen to a show with two promises: 1) music, 2) Towells having a mild existential crisis about being done with the content portion of his degree.
Well. The time has come. Alex Towells is about to leave the University of York, and thus URY, and as such this is his final show.
Oh, and did I mention? He's going to do it for 14 entire hours. Because of course he is.
Tune in to enjoy(?) many an hour of Towells and friends giving literally everything they've got left to this silly little student radio station.
but he left!
Hi! I'm Alex Towells. I graduated last year, but I came up to help out with Roses and then decided to stick around for a week afterwards as a bit of a holiday. While I'm up here, I thought I'd have a look back at some of the best music that's been released since I graduated in July 2022. Enjoy!
