Fi Glover presents four conversations between strangers.

This week, Dafydd and Huw come together from either side of the debate on Rewilding the countryside; Glenys and Leon share enthusiasms for their hobbies of magnet fishing, beachcombing and meadow trawling; Christine and Shane swap perspectives on ambulance wait times from the view of the patient and the paramedic; Archie and Owen discuss their relationship with body image as young men from different communities.

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.
