Stephen Fry - October 2018

By: Holly Newson
Narrated by: Stephen Fry

Publisher's summary

Joining us in the Audible Studios to talk to us about his latest series, Stephen Fry’s Victorian Secrets, is the man himself, Stephen Fry.

A comedian, actor, writer and more, Stephen has narrated the full collection of Sherlock Holmes for audiobook, was one-half of comic duo Fry and Laurie and is well known for his many years presenting QI. His list of accomplishments beyond this would far exceed the word count here! Now he lends his smarts and his voice to delving into the mysterious world of the Victorians in new series Stephen Fry’s Victorian Secrets - looking at what went on behind their outwardly strict societal norms.

In this interview Stephen gives us a taste of what we can expect from the series, muses on how he might have reacted in Oscar Wilde’s situation and even gives his thoughts on that infamous Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction.

Fascinating. Who knew?

Apparently Stephen Fry does and is willing to share. Now I want to read the book! Also, compelling narrative.

I've always enjoyed Steven

I enjoy how Steven puts things together I may not agree I defy on everything with him but he is a masterful Storyteller on any era or any topic that he seems to be on and he's quite enjoyable to listen to and a delight I cannot wait to download his book on Victorian life.

A bit of Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry discusses, among other things, Victorian morals, acting in period pieces, Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction, and class behavior. All done with a sense of humor and realistic pragmatism.

quite interesting.

Difficult to hear

I found Mr Fry’s voice quite difficult to hear. His pitch was very low. I could hear the interviewer quite well but not so Mr Fry. I’ve never had a problem with listening to him in other instances.

Quite Eye Opening and Fun

Narration was good. The questions were ones I might have asked. The answers were intriguing. Enjoy.
