Hello, and welcome to the Meet the 85% Audio Project, 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.Our ten episodes will drop every TuesdayPlease subscribe to make sure you don't miss the next episode of the Meet the 85% Audio Project go to meetthe85.substack.com for our newsletter.This series is presented by Mark Hadfield of Meet the 85%.
