Phonic FM – Exeter's sound alternative

Downstream

Presented by Stuart Crewes, Creative Director of Art Work Exeter and former Co-Producer of the Culture & Review Programme here on Phonic, also wrangler of pixels and paper for Inky Fingers Workshop and spinner of discs as DJ Deadly Marvin (presenting SHAKE! on the 5th Sunday of the month, when there is one…)

Insightful Curiosity

I explore topics in philosophy, science and technology that I think listeners would want to know more about, plus there’s a sprinkling of my favourite tunes. My show is for anyone who’s curious about this strange universe we live in. You’ll be entertained, but also come out of the show feeling like you’ve learned something. You might end up seeing the world in a new light.

The Way of Things

Presented by John Tron Davidson, Dragon and The Spring. The Way of Things shares all the records that we’ve found, been told about, and loved.

The Edge of Jazz

(Dr) David Treharne plays jazz, and jazz related music, to an eclectic, esoteric and discerning audience of people who have an ear to spare on Tuesday afternoons.

Anti-Telly Time

With Chee. The main objective of Anti-Telly Time is to give listeners a giggle and a smile. There’s music from local bands through to obscure sounds, and music that makes you dance against your will. Sometimes spoken-word and other non-music delights will pop up, with guests on occasion. It’s a party and you’re invited.

The Friday Modulation

With Jim. Playing all the very best in mod, ska, punk and indie, it’s probably the best thing you can do on a Friday night with your clothes on.

The Coming

Greg Gould (the Ghoulish Groover) presents breakbeats and EDM. It’s for anyone who loves music. I’d like to captivate my audience.

The Last Transmission

Mark and Steve play the best new music, though we can’t resist throwing in some classic oldies. We like to have local musicians come into the studio to play live, and speak to national and international acts via the wonders of the telephone.

Living Better with Dementia

With local dementia champion, Gina Awad BEM. I showcase a wide range of guests from people living with dementia to care partners and families in addition to sharing innovative practice. I have a variety of guests from the local area and from across the country.

White Russian for Breakfast

I present an eclectic mix of music and comment, often with a guest or two. I will also play new electronic music from local producers. I’m a prominent member of the relatively new Exeter House & Techno community, and will draw attention to news and events relating to that.

Wallpaper Sounds

With Caroline Hart. A mellow start to Monday morning with chilled tunes including favourite album tracks, jazz, definitely some 80’s and the odd guilty pleasure.

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.

Classical Journey

Luch Càise-Dearg presents baroque, classical, romantic and modern music performed by solo artists, chamber ensembles, orchestras and choirs. Most recordings are made by local artists, many of whom discuss their work and perform live on the programme.

The High Fidelity Radio Show

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.

Tom Williams

Tom brings you a load of new alternative music.

St David’s Hillbillies

DJ Peachy and guests play lots of new music from Exeter and beyond. Touring acts and up-and-coming locals with a Q&A session on the phone when we can’t get someone in to the studio.

The Planet Fear Radio Show

Presented by Jude Fear with various guest hosts. We play an eclectic mix of various genres including pop, Americana and indie. We talk largely nonsense in an effort to make each other and our audience laugh.

The Respect Show

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.

Every Now And Then

Various musics with Matthew, every now and then, a bit of skateboarding, surf or bike chat, sometimes Devon related, sometimes not.

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 Decades Show

With Christian Brook. The Decades Show aims to find music from across the past ten decades that will appeal to anyone who was into the alternative scene in the 80s – basically anything from the 1910s to yesterday!

Happy Sundays

Hosted by Jeff Sleeman, Happy Sundays promotes and explores the creative and cultural life of the area with an emphasis on how the arts can contribute to wellbeing.

Niches and Nuances

Presented by Zoe Elston, Niches and Nuances explores musical sub-genres from around the world with interluding interviews with local people about places, hobbies and music in and around Exeter. This is a show for the curious; join Zoe to explore new music and stories from Devon and beyond that exist on the fringes of the mainstream and spark your intrigue in new and exciting ways.

Songs for you…

Presented by Katie Jones I play new music, old music, everything in between and many guilty pleasures. With occasional guests who have stories to tell, this is a relaxing entry into your Friday morning

Pete’s Sunday Show

Magazine style show – pop/rock/electronica music with intersticed segments: 1) Community Spotlight, featuring pre-recorded interviews with local good causes and interesting people 2) Tips and life hacks – quick and useful techniques or ways or doing things 3) Out and about: shoutouts for events and happenings in the local area 4) Ask Auntie Pete – ability for people to ask questions either live via email or in advance and get best answers on a range of topics. Tone is relaxed and fun – musical tone is upbeat and energetic without being too frenetic as it’s a Sunday. Nothing political and nothing likely to cause friction. We’re here to entertain and recognise folks doing good stuff out there!

Emergent Unsigned Radio Show

Presented by Jason Maddocks. Playing Unknown, Unsigned and Emerging artists from around the world.
