Life-Changing
Four conversations about Halloween, endometriosis, noise from cars and private planes, and spiking women’s drinks. Fi Glover presents.
Four conversations between strangers presented by Fi Glover.
This week: Zach and Elly talk about the dark and dangerous phenomenon of spiking women’s drinks in pubs and clubs; Sophie, who is anti cars and private planes and pro public transport, exchanges views with Ed who loves cars and is learning to fly; Lindsay and Abbie share their experiences of living with the painful and debilitating condition endometriosis; and Kim, an American who loves Halloween, talks to Amanda who hates it.
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.
