BBC Radio 4 - The Listening Project, Alice and Adi - Growing Up with President Trump

Whether to be a midwife or a spy, an athlete or a PE teacher in a Trump-led future.

Friends who are still in their first decade of life debate their future careers and wonder what Trump in the White House will mean for the world.

Fi Glover with a conversation between friends who are still in their first decade of life, about their future careers and what Trump in the White House will mean for the world. Another in the series that proves it's surprising what you hear when you listen. 

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 BBC 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.
