Sunday Edition - Being Parents
Fi Glover with conversations ranging from whether to bring up your child as a vegetarian to whether to bring him up with wolves, with the highs and lows of fatherhood along the way.
Fi Glover introduces conversations ranging from whether to bring up your child as a vegetarian to whether to bring him up with wolves. And then there's whether to be a father in the first place, and the sacrifices and thrills involved if you decide you will. The Sunday Edition of Radio 4's series proves once again that it's surprising what you hear when you listen.
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 with someone close to them about a subject they've never discussed intimately before. The conversations are being gathered across the UK by teams of producers from local and national radio stations who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're not 麻豆社 interviews, and that's an important difference - lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key moment 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 the second decade of the millennium. You can upload your own conversations or just learn more about The Listening Project by visiting bbc.co.uk/listeningproject.
