About Meet the 85%
The Meet the 85% Audio Project is a series of audio snapshots into the reality of people's lives. In this first season, we'll be chatting to people all over the UK, from different walks of life, about their passions, hopes, fears, and day to day realities. We'll be chatting to some who make up the 85% of people in the UK who live outside of London, and to some who make up the 15% who live inside London. The people we chat to are not known to us. They've been sourced by specialist recruiters with a simple brief - find a range of people who are comfortable talking about their realities. They've been given a pseudonym, and we've generalised their area, but each episode will contain their reality in their words. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.
