An exploration for Valentine's week of queer love poetry across the millennia, presented by renowned crime writer and proud lesbian Val McDermid. With the help of actor and writer Stephen Fry, the Makar (National Poet of Scotland) Jackie Kay and theatre director and author Neil Bartlett, they all choose their favourite poems that explore same-sex love. We discover that some of the most famous love poems in history from some of our most famous writers are actually about same-sex love. Of course, many of the poems are coloured by the struggles to be open or express love for your same-sex partner, the consequences of being caught in a queer relationship and the hostility shown to same-sex relationships over the centuries. But universal aspects of being in love and the unstoppability of LGBTQ+ people to continue having and celebrating loving relationships shines through. Val and her guests take us from the ancient Greeks to today, presenting from various symbolic locations including Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, taking listeners on a moving and witty poetry tour through time and place of secret and openly celebrated LGBTQ+ love. From Sappho to AE Housman, Aphra Behn to Carol Ann Duffy and Frank O'Hara to Edwin Morgan, the diversity of queer relationships and manifestations of same-sex love are painted in huge variety through the selected poems. With only a minority of countries and cultures in the world today actually protecting and celebrating same-sex relationships, this is a bittersweet exploration of the history of LGBTQ+ love poetry that shows how far we have come and how far we still have to go for queer love to be truly, freely expressed everywhere.

How many times have you said that you will finally be happy at some future date or when you have achieved some far off goal? Only once you reach that future time or accomplish that goal you aren't happy? In this moment Stephen Fry discusses how we madly chase for complex things that we think will make us happy or indulge in fake happiness, all the while ignoring the simple things right in front of us that give true joy. Stephen says that our feelings of self worth and fulfilment ultimately come from the way we treat other people.

Dennis Baron joins the conversation to discuss his forthcoming book ""You can't always say what you want: The paradox of free speech" (Cambridge Univ Press, 2022)" and the state of free speech in today's America. We get into conversation about all things free speech from government interference with social media companies to the impact of a changing understanding of the second amendment and its impact on the ability of groups and individuals to make their voices heard without threat of violence. We also get into the somewhat dystopian present and future of free speech! ------------------ Dennis Baron writes about the English language and the technologies of communication. In addition to his scholarly publications, he writes frequently on language and technology issues in the news, and his essays have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, and many other papers; he is regularly consulted by journalists and has appeared on CNN, NPR, the BBC, the Voice of America, and the CBC -- he's discussed the changing English language with radio hosts ranging from Stephen Fry to Joan Rivers. He's interested in language and the law, has consulted in a number of legal cases, and served as lead author of "the Linguists' Brief," a grammatical and semantic analysis of the Second Amendment in the Supreme Court case District of Columbia v.

The big wheel keeps on turningOn a simple line, day by dayThe earth spins on its axisOne man struggle while another relaxes~ Massive AttackBen and Tao are on a roll, fleeing the all flattening, deadening turn of the great wheel of time - or not time, just a massive, physics defying concrete cylinder crushing everything in its path for all eternity - aka The Eternal Cylinder. Your hosts try to make sense of the allegories therein, pondering metaphors and surrealism, story narration, procedurally generated landscapes, the perks of multiplayer gaming, and when an animal's trunk is not a trunk but a snoot. As usual the game's ending is outlined with some spoilers, but given the nature of the story, the gameplay impact would be minimal.Content Warning: PEGI 12. Swearing. Ranting. One offensively audible clip from the Teletubbies.Clarifications:* The UK's Teletubbies narrator was Tim Whitnall. This is a seriously disturbing show with an adult's eye.* Stephen Fry explains the story behind the ‘Pocketed It' compilation. (TL;DR - he stumbled over the phrase while narrating the Harry Potter audiobooks so JK Rowling inserted it into every subsequent book).* Ben enjoyed this take by Lewis Gordon of Vice: “I couldn't help but look back towards the gigantic cylinder, an image nearly bursting with allegorical possibilities. In a way, we're all the tiny Trebhum, doing whatever we can to postpone our eventual annihilation. In another, perhaps we—and I mean this in the humanity-encompassing sense of the word—are closer to the cataclysmic rolling pin, flattening and destroying everything we encounter.” And this one too: “For this time of gigantic crises we find ourselves in—none more so than that concerning the environment—it's a fitting allegory, a reminder of the power that resides in the collective, and that our differences are an asset, not a hindrance.” You can follow Lewis here if you haven't yet abandoned Twitter to the vultures and ashes.* If you nostalgia hard on the Zoombinis reference, we recommend this video ‘deep dive' into the game by GamesOnHardMode - it's worth it for the comments alone: * According to his Wikipedia entry, Peter Molyneux did not have any involvement in Creatures, Tao's memory playing up (again).

To call Stephen Fry a national treasure would be underselling him. One of the hardest working names in British media, you name it and Stephen has done it; writer, actor, director and comedian. The size of his contribution to British culture in over four decades as a public figure is staggering. However, behind this mountain of work and out of the spotlight is a side of Stephen Fry that many people will be completely unaware of, from a childhood of crime and loneliness, to severe mental health struggles and attempts at suicide. In this honest and revealing conversation Stephen discusses the scars he carries within him and which affect him to this day. But despite this he is constantly reinventing himself and striving to find joy in the smaller things in life, all the while spreading happiness and wonder with his work. Topics: Early context Credit card fraud - getting arrested Feeling like an outsider Going to Cambridge Why acting? Where happiness really comes from How can we change who we are? What has changed from the core of your younger self Lowest moment in your life Manic depression Your relationship with social media Depressive lows Why have you been successful Are we all artists?

Being Positive, Practical, and Peaceful I must admit that I get in trouble because some of the Scott logic that comes out of my mouth doesn't sit well with many folks these days - and they let me know.  One of the biggest comments… “You seem like such a positive guy, and then it's like something clicks in your head and goes negative and ruins my day.”  While I don't think I ever go negative, I've heard that many times.  Here's the thing… It would be easy for me to get caught in the feel-good trap of chasing positivity - if only for being positive. But I'm not interested in that. I am interested in the results. For me, that is a peaceful, content, joyful, and meaningful life. If you've been alive for over a couple of decades, you know all of that is found lurking in the truth. That's why I consider myself a practical positive guy, and you should too.  I believe an optimistic attitude is power in life; I also think that you can never be truly happy until you are willing to dig deep into the not-so-positive challenges in life. Until you do that, you'll you blocked. That's why you'll always hear me cover both sides. Frankly, I'm not interested in what we can and will do in our lives. I'm interested in the millions of interactions, decisions, and feelings we encounter daily that become the life we will have lived someday. Stephen Fry said, “sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Almost everything that freaks folks out begins with words from others and yourself. Keep that in mind because…  When you choose to be positive and practical and ground yourself in the truth, you will become at peace with everything around you - including yourself.

(Station Management's memo to Cecil about the stupid basement is the best.) We managed to stick to the highlights, but we went on frequent tangents about fish recipes, office blunders, replyallpocalypses, and the hive mind of the fan artists. After that we talked about The School For Good and Evil (meh?), Stephen Fry as Fiddler's Green (yay!), Christopher Walken in The Prophecy (skip past everything but him. And the coroner. Love a good coroner scene), dueling Black Panther reviews, and the Dragonfall Drawing Challenge. This week's outro is a clip from Black Lotus by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio.

'Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, we're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside ... '   A new branch of the Broken Oars tree, Broken Oars University was dreamed up over the summer as an occasional series for your two stalwarts to explore some things other than rowing ...   ... 'What?' I hear you cry. 'There are no such other things!   Well, ordinarily we'd agree with you, but the Northern One is working through some processes at the moment that mean that the subject matter of this one is pretty close to hand and heart ... and the best way to learn anything is to try and teach it, because then you're forced to break it all down.   The Broken Oars University tag was inspired by so many of our friends on Twitter et al heading off to University - which is an expansive experience, not just in terms of the teaching and the course, but also the new perspectives and understandings it can bring. We (he, Northern One) hopes that the Broken Oars University will be a similar experience, giving some fresh perspectives perhaps on some things that might be new to some.An occasional series, it'll introduce ideas that we're working through in our professional and other lives that might entertain, inform, tickle or make you throw things at the screen. It took a while to get to the starting gate, because the Northern one has been dying, again, but plus ca change ...   (Remember: He's the Northern Uncultured One. Never let the fiddle playing and Latin tags disabuse you of that notion ...).   So, in Episode One, the Northern One talks about stories in an age where narratives no long end but roll into the next content output.   In his usual fashion, he will self-deprecate his expertise in this area to the point where you'll think 'who the hell is this person', but essentially this opening episodes touches on the following points:    - Expertise: what is it, why is it more defined by knowing what you don't know rather than what you do.   - Polymaths: what are they, why he isn't one, and neither is Stephen Fry.   - Narrative: why stories have a beginning, middle and end, and why it doesn't matter what order these elements come in.   - Why this isn't a discussion of the pathetic fallacy of individuals and their output.   - What Netflix buying up Roald Dahl's Intellectual Property means and why they've done it.   - The 'Exploring the x Universe' idea: why it's a nonsense and a fallacy.   - Why the fact that stories have a beginning, middle and end is important for structure, motive drive, engagement, immersion and imagination.   - What happens if you disregard this and start endlessly colouring in the map.   - Tricks, licks and conceits - how and why they don't work if the narrative's motive force are lost, or the internal logic and consistency are lost.   - Why platforms need content, but content doesn't need platforms.   - Why we now live in the age of the never-ending story as a reaction to market mechanics. We're looking at you MC universe / DC universe / Tolkien Universe / never-ending everything universe.   - How a never-ending story leads to audience disengagement, a fall off in quality, and diminishing returns in all senses.   - Why stories that have a beginning, middle and end (in whatever order) are more emotionally and intellectually satisfying and more culturally representative - and why, as I work through my projects, I'll be keeping this very much in mind. And if you're thinking 'wtf!', don't worry. There'll be some rowing along soon. Get some!

A house-filling favorite in Las Vegas since she opened as one of the hottest tickets in town in June 2000, Rita Rudner is known for her epigrammatic one-liners. Over the course of a multi-year run she sold almost two million tickets, grossed over a hundred million dollars and become the longest-running solo female comedy show in the history of Las Vegas. She was named Las Vegas's Comedian of The Year nine years in a row and in 2006 received The Nevada Ballet's Woman Of The Year Award. In October 2017 she was given the Casino Entertainment Legend Award. Rita's first solo HBO special, “Rita Rudner's One Night Stand”, was nominated for several awards, as was her eponymous English BBC television show that later appeared in the USA on A&E. Rudner's two one-hour specials for HBO, “Born to Be Mild” and “Married Without Children,” were ratings standouts and she performed all over the country, filling Carnegie Hall in New York three times. In 2008 Rita Rudner: Live From Las Vegas was PBS's first ever stand-up comedy special. Rita Rudner has written five books; her bestselling non-fiction titles, “Naked Beneath My Clothes,” “Rita Rudner's Guide to Men,” and “I Still Have It…I Just Can't Remember Where I Put It,” plus the novels “Tickled Pink” and “Turning the Tables.” The audio version of “Naked Beneath My Clothes” received a Grammy nomination. She just released her autobiography, “My Life in Dog Years.” Rudner is a frequent collaborator with her writer/producer husband of thirty years, Martin Bergman. The couple's first produced film script was “Peter's Friends.” The film, starring Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie, Kenneth Branagh, Imelda Staunton, Stephen Fry, and Rita, won the Evening Standard Peter Sellers Award for Best British Film and was nominated for the Goya Award for Best European Film of 1994. The script was nominated for a WGA Best Screenplay Award and Rita won Best Supporting Actress at the American Comedy Awards. Rita Rudner moved to New York at the age of fifteen to become a dancer on Broadway. She appeared in several shows, including the original productions of “Follies” and “Mack and Mabel.” It was while in “Annie” on Broadway that she began exploring the comedy clubs of Manhattan. In the early ‘80s, Rudner took a full-time leap from chorus lines to punch lines and was soon a regular guest on both Late Night with David Letterman and The Tonight Show. In June 2016 Rita was invited and honored to speak about her career and technique in comedy at Cambridge University, England. In 2017 she was invited by Oprah Winfrey to appear on a cruise to Alaska that Oprah did in partnership with Holland America. In 2018, Rita's tenth TV special was released: “A Tale Of Two Dresses.” The special also featured Rita and Martin's singer/songwriter daughter Molly Bergman.

Highlights:     “Unfortunately for Fry, when it comes to the great classical conceptions of God – whether they be Jewish, Christian, the Platonists, the Islamic tradition, Hindu, Buddhist -- God is emphatically not ‘A' being. He's not a kind of being, God IS being itself.” “Fry is a huge fan of abortion. For him, abortion is a fundamental human right. The freedom to choose is a good that ought not to be infringed! And yet, when this supposed God that he's beating up on does the same thing, when GOD makes choices about life and death, suddenly this God is evil!” “These atheists think they're wholly separate and distinct from religion, and Peterson masterfully confronts them with their own unconscious and yet undeniable thoroughly religious instincts.”   Timestamps:        [01:11] Refuting Fry's idea that God is ‘such a being' or ‘that kind of being that people worship'    [04:50] Fry using the ‘argument from evil' that was famously employed in the novel The Brothers Karamazov [07:17] How the clenched fist against God --- the resentment and anger from all the pain and evil actually makes things even worse [09:37] How Peterson revealed to Fry that his yearnings for God are closer than he ever imagined     Resources:  The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky 1209 Jordan Peterson Leaves Atheist Sam Harris SPEECHLESS on God!!!

Flight Through Entirety: A Doctor Who Podcast

This week we're joined by Steven from New to Who to discuss one of the great loves of our lives — Dame Diana Rigg, whose astonishing performance makes The Crimson Horror one of the best episodes of the era. Notes and links So, Diana Rigg. As we all know, her breakout role was as Mrs Peel in The Avengers from 1966 to 1968. And so this is not her first appearance on Flight Through Entirety. Before discussing The Seeds of Doom, Brendan, Nathan and Richard discussed the Avengers episode that undoubtedly inspired it: The Man Eater of Surrey Green (see Episode 43: Sexiest Exposition Trope). Since then, on Bondfinger, we've discussed several more episodes of The Avengers that she starred in, as well as the 1969 Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), which also starred the recently-cancelled George Lazenby as Bond. Richard's Pick of the Week: the “almost unwatchable” German Super 8 films starring Diana Rigg — Der goldene Schlüssel (1966), minikillers (1969) and Diadem (1969). They're all available on YouTube, but we would completely understand if you decided not to follow the links. Mark Gatiss named Mr Sweet after his friend Matthew Sweet, the author of Inventing the Victorians (2001), which attempts to demythologise the culture of the Victorian era: turns out, they were just as much fun as we are, apparently. Sweet is also known for his probing interviews of Doctor Who actors which can be found as extras on many DVD and Blu-ray releases. We occasionally mention or allude to The League of Gentlemen, a sketch comedy series set in the fictional northern town of Royston Vasey, which ran for three seasons, a movie and a return season 15 years later. It doesn't totally hold up now, for many reasons, but it's certainly a useful text when it comes to understanding Mark Gatiss's interests as a writer. Richard points out that the opening scene of the episode echoes the famous Hovis Bread commercial from 1973, directed by Ridley Scott, which the people at Hovis (credibly) claim is “Britain's most iconic and heart-warming advert”. More about the ad here. Mrs Gillyflower's revival meeting reminds Nathan of Mrs Melrose Ape, the lady preacher from Evelyn Waugh's Vile Bodies, which we know that Mark Gatiss is aware of, because he plays a small role in Stephen Fry's film adaptation of the novel, Bright Young Things (2003). And finally, as a well-known Sherlockian, Gatiss ties this episode into the Holmes canon: in The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez, Watson briefly refers to his notes on “the repulsive story of the red leech”. Follow us Nathan is on Twitter as @nathanbottomley, Brendan is @brandybongos, Richard is @RichardLStone and Steven B is @steedstylin. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam. You can follow the podcast on Twitter at @FTEpodcast. Steven B is one of the hosts of the New to Who podcast, which discusses Classic Doctor Who stories and introduces the Classic series to new fans.

Carta de Stephen Fry sobre la depresión

Stephen Fry es uno de los comediantes y creadores ingleses más destacados de las últimas décadas. Además de su tarea como actor, escribió guiones, musicales y obras de teatro. Una producción marcada por su agudo cinismo y por esas características que el resto del mundo identifica como “el humor británico”. En 2006, protagonizó un documental llamado “La vida secreta del maníaco depresivo”. En esa película contó con valentía y mucha franqueza los efectos de vivir con trastorno bipolar. Lo hizo, según dijo, para eliminar los tabúes en torno a la salud mental. Con el tiempo, por supuesto, el escritor se convirtió en una suerte de embajador del tema. A raíz de eso, recibió una carta de una joven llamada Crystal, una admiradora de su obra y alguien que pasaba por un período de depresión. El escritor le contestó esta carta llena de humor y de la empatía de alguien que conoce de cerca ese infierno. Lee el actor, director y dramaturgo Alfredo Martín. *** 10 de abril de 2006 Querida Crystal: Siento mucho escuchar que la vida te está deprimiendo en este momento. Dios sabe que puede ser muy dura cuando nada parece encajar y poco parece satisfacer. No estoy seguro de que haya algún consejo específico que pueda dar que ayude a devolverle a la vida su sabor. Aunque sus intenciones sean buenas, a veces es bastante irritante que la gente te recuerde lo mucho que te quiere cuando tú no te quieres tanto.He descubierto que es de cierta ayuda pensar que los estados de ánimo y los sentimientos hacia el mundo son similares al tiempo atmosférico: Aquí hay algunas cosas obvias sobre el clima: Es real. No se puede cambiar deseando que desaparezca. Si está oscuro y lluvioso, es realmente oscuro y lluvioso y no se puede cambiar. Puede que esté oscuro y lluvioso durante dos semanas seguidas, pero un día hará sol. No se puede controlar cuándo saldrá el sol, pero saldrá. Un día. Creo que ocurre lo mismo con los estados de ánimo. El enfoque equivocado es creer que son ilusiones. Son reales. La depresión, la ansiedad, la desgana... son tan reales como el clima... E IGUALMENTE NO ESTÁN BAJO EL CONTROL DE UNO. No es culpa de uno. PERO Pasarán: realmente lo harán. De la misma manera que uno tiene que aceptar el tiempo, también tiene que aceptar cómo se siente la vida a veces. "Hoy es un día de mierda" es un enfoque perfectamente realista. Se trata de encontrar una especie de paraguas mental. "Hey-ho, está lloviendo dentro: no es mi culpa y no hay nada que pueda hacer al respecto, sino sentarse. Pero es posible que mañana salga el sol y, cuando lo haga, lo aprovecharé al máximo". No sé si todo esto sirve de algo: puede que no lo parezca, y si es así, lo siento. Sólo pensé en enviarte una línea para desearte lo mejor en tu búsqueda de encontrar un poco más de placer y propósito en la vida. Mis mejores deseos Stephen Fry

The British have described Stephen Fry as a national treasure possessed with a brilliant mind, a natural wit, and an extraordinary verbal facility. He's an English actor, broadcaster, comedian, director, and writer. In fact, he does it all. He is also considered the epitome of a renaissance man. He's also known for his virtuosic command and comical manipulation of the English language, both in speech and writing. “Why should we praise someone who's born, compassionate and dis-praise someone who is born callous, or narcissistic and malignant, like the last president, for example?”In this episode of Into The Magic Shop, Stephen shares his thoughts on the nature of suffering, why effective altruism is actually cold hearted, the enormous problem with capitalism at the moment, and delves into the question of what humanity really means. “Society could not survive unless the vast majority of people are kind. It just could not. But you get into this narrative that people will take advantage of you if you're kind.”To hear all this and more, download and listen to this incredible episode. On today's podcast: The nature of suffering Why effective altruism is cold-hearted The problem with capitalism What really is humanity

For the next few months, we're sharing some of our favorite conversations from the podcast's archives. This week's segments first appeared in 2010 and 2020, respectively.Jennifer Egan's latest novel, “The Candy House,” is a follow-up to her Pulitzer-winning novel “A Visit From the Goon Squad,” which came out in 2010. That year she appeared on the podcast and told the host Sam Tanenhaus how she had gone about organizing the book's centrifugal structure: “What I was really interested in was trying to move through time and work with the difference between private and public. We see people and they seem to be easily categorizable — sometimes they seem like types. And I loved then taking that person that we had seen peripherally and showing us that person's inner life in a really immediate way,” she says. “It happened very organically. … I just followed the trail of my own curiosity.”Also this week, we revisit the actor and writer Stephen Fry's 2020 conversation with the host Pamela Paul, in which he discussed topics including Oscar Wilde, Fry's own love of language and his book “Heroes: The Greek Myths Reimagined.” “It's a miraculous thing about Greek mythology that there is a timeline and a chronology,” Fry says. “It's probably reverse-engineered by Hesiod and Homer and the later poets, obviously. But nonetheless, it has a shape, a beginning and an end, which other mythic structures don't seem to have. And they're so deep in the — I hesitate to use such a cliché, but I can't avoid it — in the DNA of our own culture and art that it's part of who we are.”We would love to hear your thoughts about this episode, and about the Book Review's podcast in general.

Bianca and Mirandia are at it again, with episode number 3. Back to discuss something they both love so much, reading and all the things that go with it.  This month they decide to keep with the format of each of them reading long separate books to review and then go over and explain it to the other one. However, they are sticking to the same genre. So, this one is for all you YA lovers out there.  Bianca gives us a little insight and opinions on "A Darker Shade of Magic" by V.E. Schwab. Mirandia then brings in the old with the new when talking about "Mythos: The Greek Mythos Retold" by Stephen Fry.  After that, it's another fantastical round of “adaptation minute” where they tell you shows or movies they have recently watched or even highly anticipated ones that are an adaptation of a book.  Of course, as promised, here is a full list of books mentioned, discussed, or reviewed on this episode, in order of mention:  The Guest List by Lucy Fowley Southern Book Club Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendricks  The Dead Romantics by Ashley Postin  The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling  Our Lady of Mysterious Ailments and The Library of the Dead by T.

In 2019 the Leicester City Council granted preliminary approval to place a statue of Joe Orton in the city's cultural quarter. With the help of celebrities such as Ian McKellen, Stephen Fry and Alec Baldwin, the Joe Orton Statue Appeal raised over ₤100,000 in a short time. But in 2020 statues of problematic historical figures were toppled throughout England and Leicester found itself embroiled in a controversy over whether or not to remove a statue of accused racist, and sexual predator Mahatma Gandhi. The Gandhi statue was spared, but when word got out that Joe Orton was a sex tourist who made several trips to Morocco to sleep with pubescent boys, a debate erupted in the Leicester City Council. In this final episode of Season 2 we report what's going on in Leicester and contemplate the question: Must one have been ethically pure to be publicly commemorated in metal or stone?

Greg Jenner is joined by special guests Stephen Fry and Dr Bodie Ashton as they travel back to 18th-century Prussia to meet Frederick the Great. Widely known for making Prussia a military power as well as modernising and liberalising culture, Frederick was a complicated character, shaped by a tragic childhood ruled by his cruel father. We'll uncover why he wasn't the greatest ally to neighbouring countries, why forks enraged his father, and answer the crucial question of whether it's King of Prussia or King in Prussia.
