Michael lives in Stephanie's spare room. Michael knows everything about Stephanie. He knows how many pairs of shoes she has. And how often she has sex. But Stephanie doesn't know anything about Michael. She doesn't know that he's an asylum seeker from Eritrea. She doesn't know that Michael has recently had his last asylum claim refused, been evicted from his flat and lives on handout's from the local church. And she definitely doesn't know that Michael lives in her spare room. Until today. Today Stephanie and Michael will meet for the first time. The Spare Room is a 'Rapid Response' play (commissioned close to transmission) inspired by the Scottish Refugee Council’s report October 2012) stating that one in four asylum seekers in Britain will face destitution.

Radio drama, old-time radio and historic broadcasts from the Internet Archive (its Old Time Radio collection with the Old Time Radio Researchers' sets, WWII Era Audio Recordings, the Pacifica Radio Archives, the Radio Haiti Archive, German radio plays and listeners' uploads), Wikimedia Commons (with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision's broadcasts) and the Library of Congress. Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
