The Listening Project - 18/10/2020
Fi Glover presents the longer weekly edition of the programme on the shared experience of being in lockdown and beyond.
In this edition three conversations between people who have never met before: Liam and Adrienne who are both in recovery, one from a period of self-harm and the other from anorexia; Lianna and Tre share their thoughts on racism, identity, education and the importance of teaching black history in schools; and students Amy and Chess exchange notes on post-Covid university life.
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.
