The Joe Crow Show, with me presents a wide spectrum of tunes – from the late 60’s to the present day – some rock, pop, folk-rock, britpop, electronica and some contemporary-classical – and with a ‘talky bit’ here and there, there is something for everyone!

Tommy S Sunday Show

Join Tommy S on a musical journey through the month with the Sunday Show, showcasing a blend of favourite hits and cutting-edge tracks, along with special guests and readings.

Ewan’s Mixed Bag

With Ewan James. Playing a diverse mix of tracks that really mean something to me, and maybe generate a bit of curiosity and inspiration for my listeners. I go back and forth in time, from the 60s onwards.

The sounds are rooted in underground indie, psychedelic and alternative rock. Not just things that sound good, but perhaps have interesting songwriting angles, challenge conventions, and have an emotional pull.

Most importantly I’m very keen to help make people happy, or happier, in some way. So my show is hopefully an interactive listener experience – with requests very welcome!”

7Deadly (AKA Chris Perkins) presents a broad mix of exciting and eclectic music.

Artist and cultural conversations and interviews will sit comfortably alongside listings and reviews of stuff going down in the locale.

Adrian Bull (aka Bully), Paul Giblin, Helen Connole, Tim Price (aka RJ Retsina) and Raj Prashar. The music is an eclectic mix of many styles from all over the world. The show aims to complement the annual Exeter Respect festival and celebrate diversity in the area and in the wider world.

Ungrateful Colonist Radio Hour

Presented by Tim Myers, a self-described music nerd and recent American arrival in the UK. On the show, Tim details an American’s experience in the UK and exorcises his immigrant homesickness with deep explorations of the music of various American scenes and other current and former members of the commonwealth. With a characteristically punk rock and DIY attitude, Tim channels the American settlers who came before him, creating a soundtrack for those livid over stamp taxes, ready to dump imported tea into harbors.

It’s a party and you’re invited.
