Fi Glover presents three conversations between strangers.

This week: Helene and Rose reflect on their experiences of being whistleblowers; Alex and Hamsia share their stories of being diagnosed with epilepsy in their youth and learning to live with the condition; and Julie and Meg talk about their love of acting and about ageism in the industry.

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.
