Fi Glover presents three conversations between strangers.

This week: Steve and Jonathan reflect on their experiences of school and on how their lives have been transformed as a result of learning to read as adults; Alison and Pete exchange differing views on the importance of grammar and punctuation; and Catherine and Hannah talk about the impact of delays in fertility treatment over the last two years on their lives.

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.
