University Radio Nottingham is the multi-award–winning university radio station of the University of Nottingham Students’ Union. During term-time we broadcast locally on University Park Campus on 1350AM and worldwide via our website.

NEW BEGINNINGS

Rightio, giving this Tumblr thing a try. This will be the home to some of the longer ‘blog’-type content coming from Headbangers’ Hideaway (duh). It’ll be some longer album reviews, thoughts on shows past present and future and general ramblings.

Proper important to get this urn1350.net link up here as that’s where the show is, but also the home of really quality content in these here apocalyptic times- please check it out, I ain’t the only show on their let alone anywhere near the quality of the vast majority of the shows on it. Big ups Nottingham.

So, as I type this, getting ready for the second Canadian thrash show, going to have lots of good tunes from Obliveon, Infernäl Mäjesty and lots more! + We’ve got a review of the new Black Cauldron Ram LP ‘Slaver’, so you can tune in 01:00 GMT for that with the link. That review will be stuck up here but a tad more articulate. Rock on.

Hello! Here's another blogcast for all of you! This week, our panel (Mike, Ibi, Felix, Victoria, and I) discuss the cancellation of Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Tyler James Williams' meetings with Marvel, Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, and how Chris Pratt responds to outrage culture. They also examine Simon Pegg's blog post about geek culture and ask if it infantilizes consumers, whether or not the Game of Thrones TV show values its female characters, as well as how the Faith Militant are treated in that show.
