Home Sweet Home

De Sian Carter

First broadcast – BBC Radio 4 – 04/09/25 – 14:15h UK time

‘Inflationship’. Noun. Neologism. To cohabit with a partner, or ex-partner, out of necessity in order to split housing costs and bills.

Aniyah and Kofi are done. After ten years their relationship has tanked. The only issue – they’re sharing a studio flat, can’t afford to move and find themselves in an ‘inflationship’. But now the landlady is selling and the writing is on the shared wall for their living situation. Is it curtains for cohabitation, or could new voyeuristic game show ‘Home Sweet Home’ provide a lifeline?

A darkly comic take on the cost-of-living (and loving) crisis for Gen Z and Millennials.
