Fi Glover presents strangers, friends and relatives in conversation.

This week strangers Kieran and Brigid discuss the effects of Brexit, the Northern Ireland protocol and lockdown on their food businesses; Heather and Aaron find common ground talking about mental health and exercise; and police officer Graeme and former criminal Kevin reflect on how they first met when Kevin tried to hold up a shop with a fake gun.

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.
