I'm Sam
And I'm Neil
Recently I met up with an old school friend
who I hadn't seen for years
We talkedfor hours…
It sounds like you had a good chinwag –
a long and pleasant conversation between friends
which is great because in this programme we're talking about talking
We'll be discussing conservations –
the exchange of ideas thoughts and feelings that happens
when people talk to each other
