How to Contact or Submit Content to a Show on University Radio Nottingham

Updated

University Radio Nottingham (urn1350.net) provides two on-site interaction points for listeners: Message The Show and Submit. Both appear on the station's main page alongside the current schedule and podcast listings. The exact process — what you send, where it goes, and whether it's read on air — depends on the individual show, so the practical next step is to open the page for the specific show you want to reach.

What the two actions are for

Action Typical purpose Where it leads
Message The Show Sending a message to a live or current show — requests, shout-outs, comments The active show's contact channel
Submit Submitting content or material to the station A submission route, which varies by content type

The station's homepage presents these next to Today's Schedule, View Full Schedule, and Podcasts, which tells you they are meant to be used while you know what is currently on air or which podcast you are responding to.

Step-by-step: contacting a show

  1. Go to urn1350.net.
  2. Check Today's Schedule (or View Full Schedule) to see which show is currently broadcasting or coming up.
  3. Select Message The Show if you want to reach that show directly.
  4. Write your message and send it through the channel that opens.
  5. If you are responding to a podcast rather than a live broadcast, open the podcast's own page first — the interaction route may differ from the live show route.

Expected result: your message reaches the show or station team through the site's own contact point, rather than a general email address you would have to guess.

Step-by-step: submitting content

  1. Go to urn1350.net.
  2. Select Submit.
  3. Provide the content or details the submission route asks for.
  4. If the form or page does not match what you want to submit, check the page of the relevant show or podcast instead — submission instructions are often show-specific.

Expected result: your material enters the station's submission process. Because the site does not publish a single universal submission specification, treat the on-page route as the starting point and confirm details with the show you are targeting.

Podcasts you can respond to

The station lists several podcasts, each with its own subject matter and hosts, which is useful when deciding who to contact:

  • URNgasm — a sex and relationships podcast hosted by Ben, Cora, and Izzy, described as breaking the stigma around the topic.
  • The Roundtable — an ideological discussion podcast covering big issues from left to right.
  • The Mellob Experience — host Ben explores iconic movies, music, and more, joined by co-host Jacob.

If your message or submission relates to one of these, go to that podcast's page rather than the general station contact point.

Common sticking points

  • No single published process. The site does not state one universal procedure for messages or submissions, so instructions can differ per show or content type.
  • Live vs. podcast. A message sent during a live show and a submission tied to a podcast may follow different routes. Confirm which one applies to you.
  • Timing. Message The Show is most useful when you know what is currently on air; check the schedule first so your message reaches the right programme.
  • No pricing or login details are given on the site. Nothing in the available page information indicates whether messaging or submitting requires an account or a fee, so do not assume either way — check the route itself when you open it.
