Refugee Radio

97.2 FM in Brighton and Hove

Refugee Radio will broadcast special shows during Refugee Week on Radio Reverb and online via podcasts on their website.

It's a bit like Desert Island Discs, except instead of some boring celebrity talking about the records they'd take to a desert island, they will be interviewing different refugees from the local community and finding out what music they brought with them to the UK.
