Who Wears the Trousers? Tony or Katherine?

Fi Glover presents the series capturing the nation in conversation. In this edition, Tony and Katherine from the Lincolnshire Wolds debate whether or not it's time to retire.

Fi Glover presents Radio 4's series capturing the nation in conversation: today Tony and Katherine debate whether or not it's time to retire from their healthfood business in the Lincolnshire Wolds. Katherine usually gets her way... but will she this time? More from the Listening Project at 4.55pm this afternoon.

The Listening Project is a new initiative for Radio 4 that aims to offer a sort of 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 成人快手 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. Many of the long conversations are being archived by the British Library which they will use to build up a collection of voices capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade of the millennium. You can upload your own conversations or just learn more about The Listening Project by visiting bbc.co.uk/listeningproject
