I’m really surprised that he didn’t say Oscar Wilde haha

I don't have a favorite word, but my late brother had what was, for him, the most unpleasant word: MOIST. He never said why.

Stephen is so interesting. I love listening to him.

This interesting video/podcast deserves more than the 21 views and 2 likes that it has at time of writing (mid March 2024). Have just read and enjoyed Kate Dylan's Mindwalker on the page rather than as an Audiobook and greatly enjoyed it. I certainly want to explore the sequel Mindbreaker and shall try that in Stephanie's Audiobook version to see how the experience of reading and being read to differs. Mindwalker is set in a future in which, amongst other changes, technology allows one person to link to the mind of another, and temporarily take over directing their body. In the exciting extended climax to the novel, when a character appears we never know if they are being directed by their own mind or someone else's. I liked it even though I very rarely read science fiction. When I bought Mindwalker I did not realise it was classified as 'Young Adult' fiction, and am not sure exactly what that means. However, don't worry if you are not in whatever age bracket Young Adult is aimed at. I am sure I am not, but I still really liked it. I therefore hope booksellers will not ghettoize novels like this by displaying and promoting them in such a way that only a restricted age group are aware of them. I was also interested to hear what it is like to be a professional Audiobook reader and how it affects her own reading habits. So thanks for this podcast/video.

I love Jane reading Gaudy Night by Dorothy L Sayers. ❤ To me, she's basically Harriet Vane's voice, even though Harriet isn't the narrator.

I really did enjoy The Flatshare, and found the writing warm and witty. It's just that I find the recent books, such as The Road Trip, The Switch and No Show are becoming too overtly sexual and explicit, and I became disgusted somewhat. Perhaps Ms O'Leary can retain the wonderful story type of books as her earlier one. Thank you.

can i help you?

Steven Fry...you can not imagine how cherished you are by so many!!

I can help you grow your KZbin channel

Mr Fry is an amazing man, this is outstanding

Wonderful man! Lots of love from France!!

I want his voice to be the last thing I hear. I love him.

Thanks and always have watch you in many things but especially loved QI, pleased your here too.

His Speaking Volumes has been one of the most interesting and memorable memoirs I've listened to. You learn too so much about the world of audiobooks and narration through his own journey and I join Miriam Margolyes in designating him 'THE voice of the spoken word'. What an enjoyable and informative interview. It's good to have this opportunity to thank Gordon Griffin for the life enhancing audiobooks that I've had so much pleasure in listening to. (Patricia)

Arise Sir Fry

Nice and clear. Thank you

do you need a bank card to use this??

enjoyed the hitchhikers guide.. why hasn't he done the other two!? restaurant at the end of the universe.. And so long and thanks for all the fish..??!?

audiobooks really help me.. always looking for more with excellent readers

i love the audio jeeves and Wooster with Michael horden and Richard briers.. absolute top notch.. brilliantly done

just been listening to Michael Sheen doing Philip Pullman, fantastic reading.. he is an equal to Fry.. most definitely 🙂

is this an audio book company or channel? audiobooks really help me get by these days (blocking and distracting me from the noise in my ears) do you have a list?

Audiobooks are great, especially if they’re narrated by Stephen Fry :)

I love his books and have read all,BUT the latest are hard to listen too with all the brakes every few mins WHY so very hard so iv given up,you really spoilt them for me.O ne of the new one has 175 stops!!!!

Here are my belated questions for Mr Fry: Dear Most Marvelous Myth Mentor: - How old were you when you realized you had grown too tall to fit fully into the bathtub and would no longer be able to enjoy a hot soak on a cold day without some part of you remaining cold-and what effect if any did this milestone have on your emotional development? - How do you personally pronounce the word "forsythia"? - How shall we feel about pied bagpipers going forward (at the height of hurricane season, I might add)? Are we always to regard them with suspicion when the music is just that good? - Who do we think had the easier menopausal transition-Medusa or Pandora? So much love, An appallingly slow Canadian reader

Really enjoyed the booktalk by the slightly Foxed editors.

It would be nice for a change if someone said: 'No, I don't have a favourite word.' Excellent point about not dramatizing the reading (18:22). Too many actors are asked to read and then 'act' the text, which ruins it. Dramatised readings of TSEliot, for example, detract from the poetry, which is why, TSEliot himself never did it. Making a joke and then adding 'Joking, of course' (2:30) is not only patronising but ruins the joke. A common enough Americanism adopted now in Britain.

Trundle, I see a troll for some reason

Loved this Q & A from the wonderful Jenny Eclair. Thank you. What a voice - endlessly listenable... (Patricia)

ᑭᖇOᗰOᔕᗰ 🙏

J. I do agree that Stephen Fry is a tremendous treat...

Ask The Author : Why are you such a pratt...?

LOVE Simon Brett's books and narrating !!!

Thank you! :)

Hurrah! A thoroughly deserved award. So much enjoyed this book - keep checking in for a follow up. Hint, hint, Robert.

Brilliant work by Holdbrook-Smith - every character is uniquely voiced. Their voices don’t just have the correct accent but timbre, rhythm and essential character traits are conveyed. I’ve listened to all the books so far several times and haven’t noticed any inconsistencies in characters’ voices. In addition, he’s a terrific actor so there’s no need to mentally interpret the words in context to understand the feelings and attitudes of the speaker. Holdbrook-Smith brings every scene to vivid life. Can’t praise too highly, just outstanding!

Stephen Fry is my favourite person.

He can't stand up a little bit for J. K. Rowling, and reality? He's certainly courageous.

Kobna, LOVE your narration of Ben Aaronovich’s Rivers series! Thank you!

Love Kobna's work on Rivers of London!

Weirdly enough, I'm going through Fry's mythology books backwards. I started with the brand new (at the time of writing this) Troy, almost done with Heroes. So Mythos will be the next. I'm hoping there will be a full Odysee and Anaeid coming up! With Stephen reading his own books, it's arguably better than the print version. Apart from the fact that I sometimes laughed so hard, I nearly veered off the road while driving! 😲

Keep up the great work!!! You need more views. Why don’t you use promosm!? You should use it, it will help you get the views that you deserve!!

Thanks. Loved this interviene 🤩🤩

This is a really good video. Both for people who love Stephen Fry and for aspiring author.

You guys were great! I tried to pull up the site, but it said it was only for residents of the UK. I'm in the U.S. Is there a way for people from the U.S. to hear it? Do you guys do the entire musical? I heard that this was going to be made into a movie years ago. Does anyone know what happened?

Last question, I am trying to write a privacy policy that includes biometrics, and I, in all honesty cannot find a any way to make one sound truthful

I don't mean to sound vain, sorry.

I have tried to have hero's but eventually, I got so tired, I thaught it would be easier to be my own hero,.

You have surely read Angela's Ashes, I loved the fact that it was such an easy read, there was no he said, she said, No Punctuation.

Why do you never refer to Dorian Grey when to speak of Oscar Wilde book's?
