It's the 4 year anniversary of our first episode! So to celebrate we thought we'd go right back to where it all started and re-edit Stephen Fry! In the early days we were a bit less confident than we are now and therefore our editing was a bit more ruthless than it is now, so we thought we'd re-edit Stephen's episode with a more relaxed ear. This has resulted in a much more relaxed conversation and plenty of unheard stories, jokes and a few more umms and errs. We hope you enjoy it!
