    Wow, you got Fry on!
    I watched 'a bit of Fry and Laurie' when i was a kid and loved it. Loved every role he has played since.
    Later i came across his books and his debates and really got to appreciate his mind. What a great guy. He is high up on the list of people I'd love to have a long conversation with.
    How nice that you got to do this, for all of us. Thanks to you both!

Theogony, Psychogony, and Cosmogony are taught to those who have the ability to listen and learn. Bring on your shows wise men like your guest today who unlock for us this wisdom hidden by the wretched so-called theologians.

      Thank you! I understood in doing this interview that this was not my time to shine but Mr Fry’s, which is why I didn’t interrupt. It is also just my interview style that I don’t interrupt my guests - I want them to feel comfortable and open sharing what it is that they want. However, I was particularly relaxed with this interview (more so than I usually am) not being a deep dive into Mr Fry’s mythology books for a very good reason … 👀
