Stepping into the Unknown
Four conversations on breaking through social barriers; the pros and cons of wearing clothes; the changing nature of the fossil fuels industry; and life after losing a loved one.
Fi Glover presents four conversations between strangers.
This week: Geoff and Kea discuss breaking through barriers in education and beyond; naturist Sue and fashion designer Arianne debate the significance of wearing clothes; Peter and Keith reflect on careers in the fossil fuels industry; and Sheila and Gil talk about life after losing a child.
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.
