In our conversations we bring people together from around the world who are struggling to find somewhere affordable to live. We hear from Spain where the eviction of an 87-year-old woman has led to widespread protests, highlighting the country鈥檚 housing crisis. Young people in Ireland, Nigeria and India share their experiences of the difficulties they face finding a home, and 26-year-old Adam in the UK tells us about moving back in with his parents. 鈥淚t leaves you quite dreamless, you haven鈥檛 really got anything you鈥檙e working towards,鈥� he explains. 鈥淭he goal would obviously be housing 鈥� that鈥檚 hard to get because how out of reach it is, so it鈥檚 quite demotivating, upsetting and frustrating.鈥� Presenter: James Reynolds 麻豆社 producers: Angela Sheeran, Isabella Bull, Lindsay Brown and Ian Rosser Boffin Media producer: Richard Hollingham Editor: Harriet Oliver A Boffin Media production in partnership with the 麻豆社 World Service Outside Source team.
