Orgers on Radio 4
No we haven't made a guest appearance on The Archers, but Chris 8886 and I did take part in a programme called The Listening Project which we recorded about ten weeks ago.
This 4 minute segment is part of a much longer hour long recording which will go into the British Library archive. Chris and I talk about how his brain injury has affected his life and our friendship. It was broadcast last week. Here's the link if you'd like to listen. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05xqbw6

Re: Orgers on Radio 4
I've heard some great little vignettes on 'The Listening Project' so listened to this. Great little conversation and shows your friendship shining through.

Re: Orgers on Radio 4
I heard this the other day on the radio driving home. It was a great listen.
I really like some of the stuff that's come from the listening project. Really nice snapshots of peoples lives |

Re: Orgers on Radio 4
Wow. I don't think I've ever had a friendship like that; the closest I've had to such conversations have been with immediate family and my wife.
I found that incredibly moving as well as impressive - how you could be strong enough to consciously decide to have that conversation is beyond me. |

Re: Orgers on Radio 4
I think the hardest conversation I had with Chris was when he said he wasn't going to sign the consent form to have the defib fitted. I told him that it was his decision, but if he didn't have it I was leaving the hospital that night and our friendship was over because at some point his heart would stop again and I would probably have to watch him die.
He signed it that night and had it fitted within a few days. It has since gone off several times and saved his life.

Re: Orgers on Radio 4
I can see that was difficult but it was presumably reactive. Planning to have a hard conversation is more difficult I think.
Chris, for the record, you're a ****wit! |
