Who are we?
Fi Glover captures the nation in conversation about the nation itself, about being British, remaining British and the 'so-called' best and worst places to live in Britain.
Fi Glover presents friends, relatives and strangers in conversation.
This week: Laurie from Stroud, which recently came top in a 鈥榖est place to live鈥� list, chats to town crier Les whose hometown of Halifax featured in a Top 10 of 鈥榳orst places to live鈥�; Lee, a unionist from Belfast and Andrew from Glasgow who supports independence for Scotland, discuss the challenges of devolution and what being British means to them; and Shabir and Niki share the struggles they鈥檝e faced in applying for British citizenship.
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.
