About the Radio Station
Afghan Voice Radio is an online radio station that was founded in 2010 and officially registered as a non-profit community interest company in 2012. The station is based in London and is run by volunteers. It serves as a global platform for dialogue and debate, promoting peace and unity in Afghanistan. The radio station started off as an experiment in 2009 with the founder teaching themselves about community internet radio and media through online tutorials. Over time, it grew to reach a global audience of Afghans across the world, receiving song requests via Skype from Afghans living abroad for friends and family back home. The station broadcasts a wide range of programs, including a weekly discussion show named Hujra, which means \'guest house\' in Arabic. The show is a platform for listeners to discuss important issues, mirroring the public gathering places found in Afghanistan where people of all backgrounds come together to talk. Topics have ranged from arranged marriages to migrants’ journeys to Britain, allowing open and free dialogue across generations and borders in a way that is often not possible within most Afghan families.
