Description

Fi Glover presents three conversations between strangers and a catch-up with a husband and wife who were first recorded ten years ago.

This week: Kelly and Agy talk about being women in male dominated sports; Sonia and Funmi discuss their experiences of having Sickle Cell Disease; Sazida and Mel share their passion for going on pilgrimage; and, to mark the 10th anniversary of the Project, a catch-up chat with Tony and Michelle, husband and wife first recorded in 2012.

The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the UK volunteer to have a conversation. The conversations are being gathered across the UK by teams of producers from local and national radio stations who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation lasts up to an hour and is then edited to extract the key moments of connection between the participants. Most of the unedited conversations are being archived by the British Library and used to build up a collection of voices capturing a unique portrait of the UK in this decade of the millennium.

Producer: Mohini Patel
