Fi Glover presents three conversations between strangers.

This week: Clare and Amy discuss what it鈥檚 like to work on the frontline - in a GP surgery; Joan and Joyce reflect on being healthy, intelligent and old, and how despairing they are of the stereotypes of old age; and Hannah and Tom share thoughts on his passion for caving and her dread of squeezing into tight spaces due to claustrophobia.

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.
