Fi Glover presents strangers, friends and relatives in conversation.

This week: Strangers Helen and Chris confront each others ideas about how holiday lets and second homes impact communities in parts of Wales; Elvis tribute acts Sal and Tony swap notes on what it takes to be the King; and Claire from Edinburgh, who’s mum is an alcoholic discusses the challenges of day to day life with Sarah, who’s a mother and a recovering alcoholic herself.

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.
