    The Final Edition

    Fi Glover presents the last ever edition of The Listening Project. This week: Eric and Neil share their thoughts on our power as individuals in a political crisis; Veronica, 81, and Eve,18, compare experiences of being young, single and pregnant; retired head gardener Tommy from Cornwall shares his enthusiasm with two 10-year-old urban gardeners from Liverpool; and Jonnie Robinson, Lead Curator of The Listening Project archive at The British Library, reminds us of its ongoing value. 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.
