Fi Glover presents three conversations about the shape of modern families, long lost siblings and living with flammable cladding.

Rachael and Clara share their horror and despair of living with substandard flammable cladding; Jade and Ellie reflect on the ever-changing shape modern families; and the joy of connecting with long lost siblings is at the heart of the conversation between half-sisters Brenda and Rachel.

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.
