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.

Anti-Telly Time

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.

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.

Phonic Jukebox

Presented by Richard Trump (AKA Trumpy) playing all things punk, alternative, indie, 2tone, mod, new wave and ska.

The Miscellany Show

The Miscellany Show

Presented by DJ John M. I play a mixture of music and have studio sessions, interviews and spoken word. I talk about the music, chat with guests, and drop in other random general factoids! I play music to soothe and rock, to relax and hype, the unusual and usual.

Roots and Shoots

Roots and Shoots

Presented alternately by Martin Henning and Bully. We play folk and roots related/derived music from all over the world and just down the road, with guests and live music in the studio.

The Respect Show

The Respect Show

Bully, Paul Giblin, Helen Connole and Paul Barnes take turns to present the show. 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.

The Last Transmission

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.

Classical Journey

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 Edge of Jazz

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.

St David’s Hillbillies

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 Grunge Explanation

The Grunge Explanation

DJ Jim Finn is spinning the discs and comin’ atcha with what he hopes is a topical off-piste grunge show. Fortean news included…

Ditch Chickens

Ditch Chickens

Presented by Eleanor-Viola and Elle. Soul, funk, R&B, hip hop and all the good things in between! Special guests and occasional live music. The Ditch Chickens aim to promote the local music scene.

The Decades Show

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!

Emergent Unsigned Radio Show

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

Sounds from the Fun Bus

Sounds from the Fun Bus

Just me (Kerrie), with some great tunes, the occasional guest and the odd bit of live music. From blues to punk, country to dark house, classical to k-pop, I’ll be sharing some of the sounds I like and love.

Ja-Fu-Re! Collective Radio Show

Ja-Fu-Re! Collective Radio Show

With DJ Peachy and occasional guests. Jazz, Funk, Reggae and everything in between. The music played is the only topic and if a good mix is happening there’s no need to interrupt.
