  • 08:00–10:00
    The Morning After
    Will & McLeod play a mix of well-known and obscure funk, dance, indie, soul, ‘hits’ and even jazz, sprinkled with chat about their (often contrasting) music playlists.
    The Morning After
  • 10:00–12:00
    The Sunday Scribble
    Presented by Sketch and Rhod. We cover punk, post-punk, indie, industrial, electronic, experimental, folk, country, jazz, soundtracks – in fact if we like it, we play it.

  • 12:00–14:00
    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.
    Yan's Bangers
  • 14:00–16:00
    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.
    The High Fidelity Radio Show
  • 16:00–18:00
    Strangely Strange but Oddly Normal
    With Mark Armitage. The programme features a wide variety of music, well known and sometimes more neglected music from the 70s but also more recent releases and contemporary rock, jazz and folk. Occasionally I will indulge in some ancient prog-rock.
    Strangely Strange but Oddly Normal
  • 18:00–20:00
    Back to Back
    Presented by Jake and Bod. A diverse and eclectic mix of music: reggae/punk/funk/hip-hop/rock/electronica/ska and many other wonderful tunes for your ears.
    Back to Back
  • 20:00–22:00
    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 Planet Fear Radio Show
  • 22:00–00:00
    Extreme Metal Mayhem
    Extreme Metal Mayhem is presented by Jason Jackson, a long time fan of all types of Metal music and live gigs. The programme is dedicated to all fans of Metal and those that want to experiment and try a new genre. Its angry music for happy people.
