Belief & the Wonder of Nature
Capturing the nation in conversation, in partnership with the British Library, to build a unique picture of our lives today. Presented by Fi Glover.
Fi Glover presents four conversations between strangers.
This week: Hannah and Matthew reflect on when the person you love, doesn’t hold the same faith.
Joanna living with Long COVID and Jay with M.E. share their experiences and the changing public perception of their debilitating conditions.
Paul and Coryn talk about the wild big cats they have spotted in the English countryside.
And Richard shares his joy of bright illuminations at night, with Ant, who is passionate about star gazing - a hobby only possible when all the lights are switched off.
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.
