Fi Glover presents three conversations between strangers.

This week: a catch-up conversation between Fi and nurses Liz and Lucy about the trials of nursing during the pandemic (the original chat went out on 30.05.21); Francesca and Hannah both have Down鈥檚 syndrome and share a love of dance and a desire to live independently; and Tiegan and Martin reflect on their differing experiences of learning to manage their birth families.

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.
