The show is certainly an extraordinary example of effortless diversity that feels neither forced nor cynical.

Listening to Stephen Fry is always a pleasure. Even if it is only in the left ear.

I'm always amazed by the insightfulness of Fry, he seems to be two or three layers of thought ahead of others at any point. I was also enamoured with just how casual the queer representation in The Sandman was, it's so rare to see a show that simply mirrors how queer reality is.

This was such a terrific interview/ chat, thank you! ~ That Alan Moore name drop on Stephen Fry's part speaks to the heart of graphic novel fandom. He (Moore) and Neil Gaiman are IMHO two of the most important writers in the medium's history and literature. Mentioning Alice Oseman's beautiful and queer-joy affirming Heartstopper feels like a perfect bookend to the very important It's A Sin by Russell T. Davies. Wonderful that Stephen Fry has for so long been active in so very many queer-themed and queer-inclusive projects. Finally, enough cannot be said about Neil Gaiman's The Sandman both in its original 1980s graphic novel form and this amazingly realized Netflix adaptation. It always has been ahead of its time in terms of storytelling and no less so in its visible representation of the endless diversity of humans who live and know dream, desire, despair, destiny, destruction, delirium (who was delight), and, naturally, death. ~ Lovely interview by James Kleinmann. , k

Finally. A Sandman interview with Stephen Fry. I can’t believe there isn’t more interviews with him online. Stephen is a national treasure. Once I seen his name pop up on the starting credits, I couldn’t wait to see him.

Amazing review, you've earned a new subscriber! It's always a treat to listen to Steven Fry's insight and history, there was something quite harrowing about listening about his experiences through the HIV epidemic which characterizes it in a far more personal manner than I've had it told before.
