Strength in Numbers
Four conversations about the cost of living crisis, the changing nature of protest, environmental activism, and the power of voting. Presented by Fi Glover.
Fi Glover presents four conversations between strangers.
This week: Joe and Brian discuss the impact of the cost of living crisis on their lives; Ellie and Paula reflect on how the nature of protest has changed in just one generation; environmental activists Stephen and Liam defend some of the controversial methods used; and Sam and Bronte share differing views the importance of voting.
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.
