Fi Glover and guests reflect on Hull's momentous year as UK City of Culture, through the people and conversations gathered by 麻豆社 Radio Humberside in The Listening Project Booth
In front of a local audience in Radio Humberside's theatre space, Fi Glover welcomes some of those who contributed to more than 250 conversations recorded in Hull, East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire. Reaching audiences in market squares and country parks, housing estates and workplaces, the Booth was towed up and down the region, sporting the logos of Radio 4, Radio Humberside, and the British Library. It caused waves on social media and sparked new interest in The Listening Project and in the 麻豆社. Local producers worked with charities and employers to find conversations; contributors, intrigued by the small white caravan, stepped up to take part.
On stage with Fi is Kofi Smiles, the 麻豆社's 'Face of Hull 2017'. Also the 麻豆社 Radio Humberside producers who made it happen. Using some of the conversations recorded in the Booth, as well as the reflections of those who took part, Fi recalls an extraordinary year.
