Fi Glover presents friends, relatives and strangers in conversation.

This week: Duncan and Kai discuss the experience of 'coming out' as survivors of childhood sexual abuse; slacklining fan Glenn and virtual reality gamer Eoin debate whether the popularity of VR will drive people away from socialising through sport; and arts professionals Halima and Adie swap notes on the expectations around motherhood faced by women.

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.
