The Listening Project - Life Changing

Download Life Changing

Fi Glover presents strangers, friends and relatives in conversation.

This week, friends and organ transplant recipients Hannah and Sophie on beating the odds and then some; 11 year old Jude and 70 year old Colum on taking steps to campaign against climate change; and Jake and Amina on the perks of working remotely at home, as well as from sunnier climes.

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.
