Trail: A glimpse into URY's Speech output!

Below is an exclusive trailer showing just some of the stuff the

 URY Speech team have been up to in the past year

And you can find our content by following the links below or by going to the ((URY PLAYER))

Debate: Discussion and Debate with URY

The first edition of URY's new topical debate programme is now on the URY Player. Recorded on the 6th March we discuss the week's biggest news stories with help from campus experts.

This week's guests are Labour Society Vice-Chair Ben Dilks and York Vision's Adam Coe. We talk Libya, Thursday's by-election landlide for Labour, trouble at the NUS and Rupert Murdoch, plus: is Berlusconi really finished this time?

Produced and presented by Nick Duquemin and Paddy Evans the programme is on the
((URY PLAYER)) here now.

Drama: The Prince of Humberside - Coming Soon

Coming soon to URY, a new student written drama.

'The Prince of Humberside' by Tess Humphrey

The play deals with the serious issues of deppression in young people and is played out through a single dialogue between an aristocratic teenager and a worker on the NHS Suicide hotline who deals him some rather unconventional advice.

This gripping, moving and sometimes amusing black comedy will be on URY soon after Easter. Watch here for more details.

But you can hear the preview now on the ((URY PLAYER)) now!

Documentary: Life without Facebook

Since its establishment in February 2004 facebook has become an incredibly important part of our lives and most of us use the site on a daily basis.

But how dependent are we on Mark Zuckerburg's online creation?

URY's national award winning presenter Coco Cole spends a week without facebook for this fantastic orginal URY documentary told through audio logs over what may be a difficult 168 hours...

Will she make it without logging in?

Find out now on the ((URY PLAYER)) here.

Presented by Coco Cole and produced for URY by Nick Duquemin

Comedy: Got Booty and Beyond!

Hilarity from York's Comedysoc with 'Got Booty', the university's premier improvised panel show.

Comedy Soc's premier improvised Comedy show returns to URY for a special show as Chaiman Henri Ward and team captains Dan Wood and Tom Crowley embark upon an epic and hilarious sci-fi adventure. Who will survive, who will regenerate and how dirty is J.K. Rowling.

ALL WILL BE REVEALED!

Listen now on the ((URY PLAYER)) here.

Drama: The Matchstick Man

On the ((URY Player)) now URY's landmark orginal drama 'The Matchstick Man'.

Tom Crowley's superb play deals with the ethics of Artificial Inteligence through the eyes of a psycologist Dr Talbot who is sent to investigate 'Frank' a prototype of Herman Electronics range of 'Match'. But nothing concerned with Talbot's encounter with Frank will be straight foward...

Listen to the production on the ((URY PLAYER)) here.

This full cast dramastisation was completed in 2010 but is presented here as a standalone radio play for the first time.

Drama: URY's 'A Christmas Carol'

Although Christmas is over there is never a bad time to remind yourself of this classic tale.

URY's freshers production of Dicken's timeless tale was made late last year and is well worth a listen.

With a full cast the script was adapted from Dicken's own abriged texts for his public readings. Complete with soundscapes, music and some excellent performances this play is well worth a listen!

You can hear the production on the ((URY PLAYER)) here.

YorWorld

YorWorld is the weekly magazine show from URY.

The programme shines a light on campus culture, showcasing the best music talent at York University with live sessions as well as reviews and previews of Dramasoc's latest productions where we interview the cast and crew behind the many and varied productions that come to the dramabarn.

If thats not enough we also interview a celebrity every week and we've previously spoken to Mark Watson, Milton Jones, Brian Blessed among many others.
