Tony and daughter Mandie discuss his ten stone weight loss. Teenage sisters Jess and Megan talk about the harassment they face and the choices they make. For Rachel and Helen, the best way to deal with pressure and stress is to walk into a cold sea. They share their love of swimming and the thrill of kicking back, breathing out and experiencing the exhilarating power of the natural world.

Fi Glover presents the omnibus edition of the series that proves it's 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 主播大秀 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.
