Stephen Fry travels into the most remarkable place we know - our brain. The organ of knowledge and the one we know least about. Over 12 episodes Stephen explores just how much we’ve learned about this mysterious structure in recent years and tries to answer some of the most difficult questions that remain. To do this, we relay the discoveries and stories of neuroscientists, psychologists, anthropologists and even philosophers, to add illumination and perspective as we travel. Each episode will be full of brainy stories: some shocking, some thrilling, some scarcely believable.

Troja ist gefallen. Nach zehn Jahren Krieg lockt für die Griechen endlich die Heimat. Während Agamemnon zu Hause die Rache Klytaimnestras erwartet, ist Odysseus dazu verdammt, über die Meere zu irren.

In this utterly charming volume, Stephen Fry excavates his epic collection of neckties and shares the stories behind them. From the traditional "egg and bacon" colors of the Marylebone Cricket Club to the exuberant Dalmatian pattern of a 1980s Nicole Miller design, each tie tells a story.

Stephen Fry a görög mitológia kezdeteit elbeszélő "Mítosz" című könyve után a Héroszok történeteivel folytatja a mesélést. Az isteni származású hősök csodálatos kalandjai és halhatatlan hőstettei Fry könnyed, egyúttal lebilincselő stílusában hol humoros gellert kapnak, hol romantikusan szomorúak. Meghallgathatjuk Héraklész, Medusza és Orpheusz történetét is.

A görög mitológia történeteinek folytatása sem kevésbé szórakoztató, mint az első rész. Megtudhatjuk többek között, hogy miért kellett Sziszüphosznak bűnhődnie, vagy hogy milyen átok sújtotta Midász királyt. A szerző a maga humoros módján rávilágít, a görög istenek olyanok, mint mi. Erősebbek és bölcsebbek ugyan, de közben ugyanolyan esendőek, és ballépéseikkel, felfokozott szerelmi életükkel, veszekedéseikkel bármikor képesek felforgatni az isteni és az emberi világot.

Stephen Fry's 7 Deady Sins - I will take each one of the Seven Sins in turn, lay them out on the surgical table and poke, prod, pry and provoke in an attempt to try to anatomise and understand them; I hope and believe it will be, if nothing else, delicious fun and something of a change from the usual run of podcastery.

Bühne Fry für die großartigste Geschichte der Welt! Es ist die größte Geschichte von Heldentum und Hass, Liebe und Leiden, Rache und Reue, Verlangen und Verzweiflung, die sich die Menschheit je erzählt hat: Der Kampf um das legendäre Troja, das für Götter und Menschen gleichermaßen Segen und Fluch war und zum Schauplatz alter Fehden, sagenhafter Herausforderungen und verwickelter Intrigen wurde. Es sind jene menschlichen Leidenschaften, blutig in den Sand einer fernen Küste geschrieben, die heute noch zu uns sprechen.

In a fascinating collection of archive interviews with the celebrated writer, presenter and polymath, you can hear—in his own words—the beliefs and aspirations that have shaped him.

Saviez-vous que le fils d'Apollon a failli brûler la terre en jouant avec le char solaire de son divin père ? Que Psyché est entourée de deux vilaines belles-sœurs prêtes à tout pour ruiner son histoire d'amour avec Éros ? Ou que Sisyphe a passé les menottes à la Mort en personne ? La mythologie grecque racontée par le facétieux Stephen Fry est un délice.

Perhaps thanks to TV period dramas, the popular imagination may picture the Edwardian era as an idyllic window between the wars, a time of manners and tea on the lawn. But below the surface lies a frenetic and often bizarre age where scientific leaps forward went hand in hand with belief in fairies, and secrets of sex, lies and murder simmered. Across 12 episodes, in this sequel to his Victorian Secrets, Stephen Fry uncovers some of the startling and unexpected hidden histories of the Edwardians.

Can someone whisper Die Walküre in your ear? With opera, you do not think of whispers or sighs but of strong classical voices in grand, spectacular set pieces. But the composer and game designer David Kanaga has turned Richard Wagner’s famous opera into a podcast.

Friday Night Live was a late night programme that pushed comedy on TV to new levels. Most TV comedy at that time was a rather safe affair full of middle aged comics and impersonators. Friday Night Live brought in a new generation of comedians; some from the growing club circuit and some along the path from University. On Volume 1, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie can be heard alongside Lee Evans and Jo Brand. This was her TV debut whilst Lee Evans was also just starting his own phenomenal career.

Based on the format of the American TV show Saturday Night Live, this home-grown comedy production was an enormous success and bought recognition and fame to a great many performers, many of whom are now household names.
