Refugee Radio is a charity registered in England.
The organisation broadcasts a radio programme in partnership with Radio Reverb, a local radio station in the South East. The programme is syndicated on various internet radio stations and is based on the long-running BBC Radio 4 programme, Desert Island Discs. Instead of interviewing celebrities however, it features refugee “castaways” and plays the music they brought with them to the UK. The project also contributes to the Refugee Week internet radio broadcasts and the International Migrants Day broadcast.
Their adviser is Alexis Condon, a producer on the Today Programme.
