I listened to all of these episodes done by Stephen Fry. I throughly enjoyed the whole of the series of podcasts & learned a lot from all of them.

Intriguing

As always Stephen Fry is a complete joy to listen to. He could read a shopping list and I’d probably still enjoy it.
Add this to the subject matter which is so clearly explained and totally fascinating and you have a winning combination.
I can’t rate this whole series of podcasts highly enough.

Compelling and relaxing

I noticed people complaining and the "background noise". I wanted to speak up and say that I find the sound scape a rather brilliant addition. It adds depth and interest to what, without Mr Fry's superb delivery, could have been quiete a dry narrative.

Fascinating - Great Content engagingly delivered

Marvelous and interesting. I only wish Stephen did more podcasts or even documentaries! To be honest he could do a podcast about the origins of bread and I'd listen.

Fascinating!

Stephen Fry is as great a narrator as there ever was, enough said there but the content of the podcast is just as compelling. I could, and most likely will, listen to the whole thing all over again. A quick note on the music as some seemed put off by it. I thought it was great. Perfectly in keeping with the subject matter and added some extra atmosphere and style to the deserving content.

Fascinating and entertaining.
