Get Involved

Subcity is a freeform radio station, a mycelial network that delivers broadcasting and parties throughout Glasgow. We are a community of volunteers split into two groups: contributors who provide the content we broadcast and team members who take care of the day-to-day work of running a radio station. Many team members also broadcast on Subcity, either with their own show or as part of programming like Soft Boiled, our breakfast show.

Team applications are currently closed and will be opened again in September 2023. Show applications are open year round.

The station is proud to host a diverse schedule of creative and boundary-pushing radio content. We are continually growing our line-up and welcome new and interesting show ideas. Show applications don’t require previous DJ-ing experience or technical knowledge, however our station is equipped with CDJs, turntables, a pair of broadcast microphones, as well as a simple aux in, so shows of any format can be accommodated. While pandemic restrictions were in place, we were accepting pre-recorded show submissions, however we will no longer be taking on new shows in this format and are in the process of moving back to entirely live programming.

We particularly encourage women, LGBT+, POC and unemployed folks to apply for both team and show applications. While Subcity offers complete editorial freedom to contributors, meaning you can say what you want on air, we expect everyone to treat people with respect and create a welcoming environment for marginalised communities. Shows that do not align with these values will not be accepted.
