Love, Death and ADHD

Mash and Jen compare cultures, Bronagh and Claudine have a surprisingly funny conversation about a headstone and Roy and Sarah talk teens and ADHD. Fi Glover presents.

Married couple Mash and Jen compare notes on culture and community in their home town of Nelson in Lancashire. Bronagh and Claudine bring dark humour and a lot of love to a conversation about preparing for death. And Roy and Sarah consider the impact ADHD has on both teens and adults.

Fi Glover presents another omnibus edition of the series that proves it鈥檚 surprising what you hear when you listen.

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 with someone close to them about a subject they've never discussed intimately before. The conversations are being gathered across the UK by teams of producers from local and national radio stations who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're not 大象传媒 interviews, and that's an important difference - lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key moment 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 the second decade of the millennium.
