  • S2 EP9 - Wrapping Up
    I have been charmed and delighted to find that the comments that have come in for this series have been sound, friendly, helpful and informed. In this final episode for this series, I’ve singled out one or two. Thank you for your questioning, your listening — go on searching, asking and wondering. Wondering in both senses: wondering by wanting to know and wondering by marvelling. And here’s to madmen, hermits, heretics, dreamers, rebels and sceptics.

  • S2 EP8 - Sloth
    Yes, we’ve come to the seventh of the seven deadly sins. Sloth. Is it sloth as in both, or sloth as in moth? Whichever, sloth lives inside us all.

  • S2 EP3 - Greed
    Avarice, or Greed as we would call it today, now there’s a proper vice, one we can all surely identify with, claim and confess to. One of the defining quotations of the materialistic 1980s came from the fictional character Gordon Gecko, the junk bond pirate played by Michael Douglas in the Oliver Stone film, Wall Street. “Greed,” he tells a dinner of fellow financiers, “for lack of a better word, is good.

    Researched, written & read by Stephen Fry. Music composed and conducted by Guy Farley.
