3CR would like to announce a timely and important new show to our grid - Refugee Radio. This new program aims to give asylum seekers and refugees a voice; a chance to speak out and let you know that they are just like us, people with hopes and aspirations, people who deserve to be treated as we would expect to be treated if, by the accident of birth, we found ourselves in their position. Refugee Radio is on air every Sunday at 10 - 10.30am on 3CR.
