Capturing the nation in conversation to build a unique picture of our lives today as we adjust to the 'new normal' and preserve it for future generations. Presented by Fi Glover.

Fi Glover presents friends, relatives and strangers in conversation as we emerge from lockdown and adjust to the 'new normal'.

This week's edition is devoted to just one conversation - between 16 year old Lloyd and Ariba who have never met. He lives in rural Wales and she lives in Peterborough. They share and compare notes on their very different life experiences. They reflect on life in lockdown, the areas they live in, school and GCSE results, their hobbies and political interests - which range from the BLM movement and the importance of tolerance, to gardening and environmental issues. And they discuss the need to talk openly about the such everyday matters such as the menstrual cycle.
