Paul and Rebecca - From Online to Reality
Fi Glover with an honest conversation between a couple who met online. They dated for 18 months, but it ended because Paul still hadn't taken his profile off the web.
Fi Glover introduces another conversation in the series that proves it's surprising what you hear when you listen between Paul, a soldier who lost his right arm in Afghanistan, and Rebecca, a single mother. They met online and dated for 18 months. In the end it wasn't Paul's disability that was the problem, but the fact that he still hadn't taken his profile off the web.
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 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. 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. You can upload your own conversations or just learn more about The Listening Project by visiting bbc.co.uk/listeningproject
Producer: Marya Burgess.
