Entertaining and Educational

I really enjoyed this installment of the British history that no one talks about in America.

A great podcast shouldn’t be a secret!

I’ve loved listening to the three “Secrets” of the age. Stephen Fry was perfection, and getting to hear what happened in Britain in the 1920’s was eye opening! Hopefully this won’t be the last!

Fry is perfect as usual.

The information is fascinating and well presented. Stephen Fry is, as always, perfection, striking the balance between entertainment and education.

Fry is always great

A fun listen. Very interesting. How can anyone NOT enjoy Stephen Fry as a narrator?

Always a fan of Fry

Informative and fun. I very much enjoy this series and can only hope for more!
