Fi Glover presents three powerful men-only conversations between strangers. This week: former soldiers Martin and Jon share their experiences of tours in Afghanistan, and of suffering from PTSD; Jack and Thomas reflect on what modern masculinity has come to mean to them, and the value of being part of a men鈥檚 group; and Patrick and Abdul discuss racism in sport in the light of recent revelations at Yorkshire Cricket Club.

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.
