4. Roland Agbor was awarded as the refugee volunteer champion of the year 2005. He has been volunteering with several projects in order to “fill his five days a week”, as he calls it. But although his initial motivation was to get out of the house and live an active life, he has achieved a lot of respect in the community and is acknowledged widely. Roland talked to Refucast about his experiences in work and encouraged other refugees to be active and enjoy the things they do. Much like he does in his position as a refugee link officer.

5. Nick Booth runs a community based Podcasting initiative Podnosh in Birmingham. As the technology is still relatively new, Refucast wanted to chat with him about some of its strengths and limitations. According to Nick podcasts are ideal for targeted audiences as they are able to cater to niche material which is accessible, portable and engaging.
