Ruth and Jet - The Lone Ranger and The King

Fi Glover introduces a conversation about how being born with a cleft lip is part of a 9 year old's identity, but is no bar to achieving his dreams. Jet and his mother are both members of CLAPA, the Cleft Lip and Palate Association, which is supported by Children in Need.

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. You can upload your own conversations or just learn more about The Listening Project by visiting bbc.co.uk/listeningproject
