Fi Glover presents three conversations between strangers.

This week: Caroline and Pedro reflect on the financial hardships they are facing due to the increase in the cost of living. Patrick and Peter share two very different experiences of trying to keep a home warm through the winter. And Rosemary and Martin exchange opposing views on the environmental impact of windfarms.

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.
