The BBC Proms is a classical music festival held every summer at the Royal Albert Hall in London, and in recent years has explored new venue spaces through the innovative Proms at… series of events. Its aim is to bring the best in classical music to the widest possible audience, which remains true to founder-conductor Henry Wood’s original vision in 1895.
Whether you are a classical connoisseur or think “classical music is not for me” there is surely something for everyone in the eight week stretch of concerts, workshops, talks and family events.

Two Bit News covers the latest stories in technology and business, and how seemingly small innovations can have an impact on society as a whole. Tracked by playlists of classic rock and alternative, Two Bit News aims to ease listeners into their Friday afternoons with a combination of facts, opinions, and most importantly, bumping and banging beats.
Two Bit News is hosted by Quinn Karm and Ryder Weston, 2 DJs with interests in both radio and technology. Both enjoy discussing the innovations of the world today and bring a lively yet informative atmosphere to the radio.
For as long as I can remember, I have loved movies. From Skyfall to Lord of the Rings, movies were just my favorite thing when I was younger. As I grew older, other interests developed along with movies, such as Rollercoasters, music, and writing, as I mentioned previously. So when creating my radio show, I sought to blend all of these things into an enjoyable listen. Not long after, “Reviewin’ with Rybo” was created, where I review and rank movies, books, and rollercoasters, along with playing my favorite music in between segments. The artists I feature most are Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and The Rolling Stones. Though I often diverge from these artists, I mostly remain within the genre of classic rock. In each episode of my show, I review one artistic medium, whether it be a movie or a book. Recent reviews have been of new cinematic hits such as Spider-Man No Way Home, Shang Shi, and No Time to Die. Each episode is one hour long on Thursdays from 5-6 pm. I hope to see you there.
