Stephen Fry: The Waterstones Interview

The font of all knowledge on QI for many years, Stephen Fry has the kind of voice and authority that makes listening to him such a joy. His latest book Mythos is a retelling of the Greek myths and in this exclusive interview he told us about why he finds them so enthralling and why these ancient tales still speak so clearly to readers today.

12 minutes just is not enough time. I wanted it to keep going on. I really could've sat listening to Stephen Fry talking about this for ages. As the other guy mentioned that he too felt like it too, I bet that many of you guys out there watching it also feels something similar, right ? Anyway, thanks for posting this. The book, Mythos, is fantastic. I listened to the audio book, read by Stephen Fry, and it's brilliant, truly. I'd highly recommend it.

Great interview - Stephen's passion certainly does shine through. I'm listening to the audiobook at the moment and loving it. Trying to take it slowly and savour it, though; I don't want it to end!

To interview Stephen Fry, basically all you have to do is say "mmm" occasionally.

[@WaterstonesTV]

terminal pictures/Andre Perkowski I worked on that ‘mmm’ for weeks.

[@terminalpictures]

@@WaterstonesTV It shows. Impeccable professionalism, sir.

Damn, I love Stephan Fry....

[@luker4101]

I like Norse mythology more, but this is awesome. Still love Greek myths

[@eyemoeba]

he talks of the fire without and the fire within as two different things. maybe our understanding, fascination and ultimately (some) control of fire equals consciousness. fire was here first and over time begat us our sentience? stephen fry is a brilliant and beautiful man and raconteur, one you could listen to forever (well, until you needed to go for your tea).

[@velociraptor3313]

I grew up on Greek mythology thank you Stephen Fry for creating mythos.

[@ConordeSmith]

Fair play to the interviewer here for letting Fry just... speak!

[@danecobain]

Amazing.

[@OldColesy]

Someone really needs to grade this footage

[@koitorob]

OK. 9/10 Would have awarded 10/10 if it had been longer...

Throughout my working lifetime it has been a noticeable common that whatever your purpose of work was .the more your level of importance for your employer increased the levels of separation from your colleagues when such a position should be a value for all. People are constantly in competition . Richs and power are destructive. Animals work together for each other.
