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.

Bats in the Belfry

A traveller linguist, singer/songwriter, philosopher and photographer from Transylvania. Playing music that heals the soul and makes one a bit more aware about mental health issues. All this seasoned with friendly interviews with local artists regardless of how known or unknown they are. Live acoustic sessions. Live video streaming. I wish to make you feel connected, elevated and more aware.

The Lost Chord

There’s no plan, there’s no framework, there are no limits. Who knows, they might even rediscover…The Lost Chord.

The Vanishing Point

Vanishing point is a continuous mix show presented by Phil Cook. Its about playing music I love to anyone who will listen and is inspired by the shows I listen to and the mixtape culture I grew up with. The show has no plan so I go with my gut. Expect House, disco, funk, soul, jazz, afro and electronica but to be honest I could play anything at any time.

Station Well Raver

With Steve, aka Well Raver. It’s a rave music show under a wellbeing umbrella. This means I will have breaks within the music in order to talk about the latest wellbeing news in the local community.

Sounds from the Fun Bus

From a Basement on the Hill

Hi, Im James Hudson and I will be playing anything from Robert Johnson to Aphex Twin. I’m going to talk about the music I love, how I found it, the story behind the music and what it means to me. I want my audience to be everyone, anyone who loves great music. I want to make a connection with people through music and maybe introduce them to a song that they haven’t experienced before. I want people to be moved, excited and feel a wide range of emotions. I hope people can build memories with me providing the soundtrack.

The Joe Crow Show.

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!

The Inner Soundtrack with Nicole

The Inner Soundtrack is an introspective music and conversation show presented by Nicole, exploring the emotional relationship people have with music across different eras of their lives.

Blending alternative, folk, electronic, metalcore, singer-songwriter and emotionally immersive soundscapes, the focus is less on genre and more on emotional truth — the way music can hold us, reveal us, unravel us and sometimes help us reconnect with ourselves again.

The Old Wave/New Wave Show

Hosted by Vinnie Grist, the Old Wave/New Wave show features Post Punk and New Wave tracks from the late 70s and early 80s as well as earlier artists who influenced the New Wave sound and more recent Alternative acts.

A show for anyone open to the idea of getting their cabbage scrambled.

The Electro Vaults Show

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Show

A weekly instalment of the weird and wonderful, sometimes horrifying (but never boring) music of almost every variety known or unknown!

Yan’s Bangers

Presented by myself, it’s a light-hearted trip in the DeLorean through the 80s and 90s, picking only the best (and sometimes worst) music that the two decades had to offer. With a different featured album every time, I talk about the bands, the history of the tracks, and any fun facts that spring to mind. Full of nostalgia, I also cover the most horrific tracks from that time in my “Maximum Cheese” section. I also have a trivia quiz based on popular culture from the 80s and 90s. Anyone who loves a giggle and holds giant shoulder pads in their memory with fondness will love it. The aim? To leave people wanting to rush out, buy a Soda Stream, a Sinclair C-5 and a Remington Fuzz-away, and dig out their neon leg-warmers.

Good Things Show

Join Chloe for a vibrant mix of sounds spanning world music, rap, acoustic gems, and soulful grooves. At its heart, this show is about sharing music that moves people. As the show grows, expect interviews with local artists, musicians, and inspiring voices from the community.

Nick Burrow and Nigel Lowe, old friends from Exmouth Comprehensive Sixth Form days (1977–now), each create a playlist (Nick Hornby style) to share with our audience.

Anything Goes

Presented by Bully, playing anything from the history of recorded music, where the only limitation is taste. There maybe a punk-ish bias but you’ll still hear anything from Klaus Nomi to Harry Partch and Robert Johnson to Blurt.

Psychoactive Sounds

A deep dive into dub, trip-hop, ambient and other assorted psychedelia.
