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.

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 Post-Punk and Alternative acts.

Blabber & Smoke

Brought to you by Gordon.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Mind The Gap

We are Rob and Tom. Mind the Gap is a show which could include pretty much anything and everything. We would like to believe that if we are having fun then hopefully you will too!

The Ricochet

With James, but anyone else who turns up is welcome. Massive music nerd with 3 different opinions on every song that gets played. Bring a bottle.

The Carefully Curated Show

Hosted by myself Stephen, I play electronic, electronica, electro pop and classic remixes from the early 80s up to the present day, along with some less well known tracks and the odd 12” remix thrown in!

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 Wild Show

With Chris Norton. A fun and entertaining daytime show.

7Deadly’s Tuesday Tantrum

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

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.

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!

We Don’t Know

We don’t know… but we like to find out. Jonathan plays mostly current pop music from his tablet, @will789gb plays R&B from CDs. We’ve an interest in tech to counter disability, starting with sound.

Onionheart Radio + Track 1, Side 1

Film On Phonic

In between playing big beats, banging tunes and beautiful serenades we deliver the latest film-world goods in the form of news and reviews, with further gabble about tv series, video games and more.

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.

Stragely 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.

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.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Show

The Electric Tortoise and Strangle Jim present a weekly instalment of the weird and wonderful, sometimes horrifying (but never boring) music of almost every variety known or unknown!

Between the Buttons

With Steve, from Exeter’s Vanished Rock Venues. I play a mixture of tracks that we haven’t had time for in our monthly EVRV show, together with tracks associated with local gigs, the occasional chat or interview, and any other stuff that I think people will like.

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.

The Lost Chord

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

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!

Resonance

We play lots of music and talk about anything – it just depends what’s happening! We hope everyone who listens enjoys what they hear!

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.

Restless

Restless is two hours of wild, raw and trashy tunes from the 50s and 60s brought to you by Syke. Expect garage, rockabilly, R&B, soul, freakbeat, surf, doowop, lounge and a whole bunch of genre-defying crazy stuff.
