麻豆约拍

Fi Glover presents the Sunday edition of Radio 4's series capturing the nation in conversation: in today's programme, we meet Jasmit and Jaswant from Lincolnshire, who prove, after 34 years of happy marriage, that arranged marriage can work. From Scotland a painful conversation between mother and son, Lily and Francis, about Francis' addiction to heroin and its terrible consequences. But it ends with a message of hope. And from Berkshire the dilemma facing dairy farmers; Michael and Don on whether or not to sell their herds. Also, a chance to hear an excerpt from the first User Generated Content to be uploaded to The Listening Project: Sophie wanted to ask her brother Oscar about his experience of living with autism.

The Listening Project is a new initiative for Radio 4 that aims to offer 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
