Making a Different Future

Fi Glover presents friends, relatives and strangers in conversation. This week: Musicians, Kapil and H33ra discuss diversity at Glastonbury and other festivals. Ruby and Zakiyah who are both currently taking ‘A’ levels share their plans for the next stage of their lives. Mandy and Sean, both Kate Bush fans talk about her recent comeback. And to mark the tenth anniversary of the project we hear a conversation from 2014 between Father and Daughter, Leif and Raphie about memories of Raphie’s Mum who died suddenly in 2008. Fi catches up with Leif to find out how things have changed for them both over the past eight years.

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.
