Rachel and Mandy – Keep On Running
After Rachel's daughter Rosie died, the friends wanted to do something positive, but their route to the finish of the charity run wasn’t quite the same as that of the other runners
After Rachel's daughter Rosie died, the friends wanted to do something positive, but their route to the finish of the charity run wasn’t quite the same as that of the other runners. Fi Glover introduces another conversation in the series that proves 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 Â鶹Éç 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.
