Description
"There's one thing I can't bear", writes Rebecca Stott, "and that's being talked AT".
Having grown up in a separatist fundamentalist Christian sect called the Exclusive Brethren, she says she's probably rather uniquely sensitised to this. She listened to her father and grandfather holding forth for hours - "3000 hours of male monologues before I was six" she reckons!
Rebecca reflects on the art of good conversation.
Producer: Adele Armstrong
