Fi Glover presents four conversations between stranger and friends.

This week: Bobby and Tasha share their passion for running and reflect on the difference between men and women runners when it comes to safety; Alexandra and Rachael discuss their feelings about being with partners who live and work away from home for months at a time; Dulcie, who made the decision to minimise the use of her smart phone, exchanges notes with Gemma Louise who couldn鈥檛 survive without hers; and Romina, who is disabled, and her partner Darren who is able-bodied, talk about how they met online and fell in love and their experience of online dating.

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.
