The library where the books are people - a podcast by BBC World Service

At the human library you borrow a person you wouldn’t usually meet for a half-hour frank conversation. The volunteers have various book titles from polyamorous to former prisoner. The aim of these face-to-face chats is to break down our assumptions and prejudices. We explore whether simple discussions can make a difference.Produced and presented by Claire Bates.Picture: Ronni Abergel, Human Library
