Staying in Touch – Ken and Peter

The Listening Project

Available for over a year

Ken and Peter have known each other for over 50 years. They met on their first day of college in Southampton and since then their lives have followed a similar pattern; getting married in their early 20s, starting their own businesses in their 30s, getting divorced and later remarrying - they even have the same number of children. Through it all, they've been there for each other. They talk about the perils of using texts to stay in touch and reflect on the importance of their oldest friendship.
