Oh, my god! My mother tongue is Russian, and i know a little bit English. I've listened for about half an hour and i'm in awe of Sephen Fry's language. How can such a beautiful language flow so easily, so effortlessly from his mouth? He's a real artist! May you be happy, genius of language and philosophy!

Lovely man. These appearances are truly a delight, and Fry remains a relevant and sustaining presence onscreen. Thank you for making this one available!

It almost seems like Tim is fighting tears while Stephen talks so beautifully and knowledgeably. All I want to say is that I also was nearly moved to tears. Such eloquence is rarely witnessed these days. Thank you.

stephen fry is a global treasure ; an instution He strides the world like a collosus

As an Artist- Mr Fry I owe to you my sanity this past year, as your videos constantly give me a sense of peace & calm ✌️ - thank you. Your intellectual story telling and magical voice are a combination of calmness. 🌸

Thank you. That was so satisfying! Love Stephen's use of the English language. His wisdom is altruistic and warm....for me. His life story, very real.

Love the last section about the Regency period. During our (brief) Lock down in New Zealand, I read Pride and Prejudice to my children: as we were (briefly) the idle class, being paid (80%) by our government, with leasure time to read, take gentle walks, and persue artistic hobbies. :)

By the way you look marvellously healthy’ 😊 Your talks, and storytelling has got me through this year. The intelligent and calmness of your voice are magical ✌️

Great conversation. Thank you.

Very please to able to see this program. miss you Shaw Festival!!

Absolutely, Stephen. Let the audience work out and make sense of the moral of the myths, legends, and fables without spoon-feeding, lecturing or sermonizing them. I too have rewritten and retold and elaborated on the Jataka Tales with the aim of improving the poor and watered-down English translation (and have removed the awful karmic moral at the end). Interested? I should gladly share my work.

I will never forget in Mythos - just before the intermission - of that terrifying bird that was ostensibly after Prometheus’ liver - flying straight at the audience! How relevant can myth get?!!!!!

Delicious. Please come back soon. Stephen and the Shaw Festival. Miß you so.

Raises curiosity about parallel history of myths and writing in Asian cultures.

A great treasure to listen to as always. Now please treat yourself to a haircut Mr. Fry!

Some of us here in Savannah suspect that Stephen could easily be the reincarnation or recreation of Oscar Wilde. Fascinating to consider the connection for obvious and maybe even more subtle affinities.

Are you familiar with Eberhard Zangger's work "The Flood from Heaven"? His demythifying Atlantis and of the Deluge(s) and of the expurgated and warped knowledge of history (possibly to drown the traumas we suffered, but also to veil the next cyclic cataclysms, namely that which is to come in 2040 as Jason Breshears will unveil)? Worth looking into Archaix.

💯❤🤟

Please fix the audio. It is very poor.

Interesting discussion - I would like to get at that core element however that makes, for example, Conon Doyle's writing so intriguing - is it not just that he places man or the "best of man" at the center of what makes the universe go around? The complexity and beauty of language is to me almost like the fancy clothes that a queen or leader puts on - while underneath its just a biological organism thats being covered with pieces of cotton. Putting man at the helm, helps us to avoid addressing our utter helplessness - and our reluctance to admit the stunning beauty of creation all around us.

Stephen looks rather more aged than his usual impeccable self.

To interpret the Ancient words of The Mahayana This is a topic that needs consideration , not everyone has the opportunity to translate great works. All timeless stories, books need to be honoured by those interpreting. Interpreting from a purely logical perspective will miss all the other perspectives of the audience who Are there to stop thinking 🤔 for a while.

Joe Biden is going to be the adult is he? Well I hope you like what you're getting so far Stephen.

Those rhymes would make no sense in large parts of the UK as well.

Should have a knighthood

Sorry Stephen but Jordan Peterson can teach you a few things about life! You're a wise man but not at his level my friend.
