麻豆约拍

Fi Glover presents Radio 4's series capturing the nation in conversation: in today's last visit to the Listening Project, the story of a brother and sister united in their religious vocations: Mary became a Carmelite nun, Peter a priest. They talk about what they've missed and what they've gained across the iron grill that separates Mary's secluded religious community from the outside world.

The Listening Project is a new initiative for Radio 4 that aims to offer a sort of 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 麻豆约拍 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. Many of the long conversations are being archived by the British Library which they will use 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
