Perfect! Steven Fry develops a remarkable account of our brain with all its complexity and history and physiologic and consequences for our life

.....There should be an option- "SwitchOffStupidMusic" although it didn't spoil the interesting and accessible content.

Agree with other reviewer...........

A wonderfully accessible introduction to the brain. Lots of specific language used so if this is a new topic to a listener, it would be good to listen a few times to get to grips with the vocabulary. Would have been really helpful to have a vocabulary pdf and an image of the tree analogy from the beginning of the episode. Really looking forward to the rest.

Pitched at just the right level.

As always Stephen Fry is a complete joy to listen to. He could read a shopping list and I’d probably still enjoy it.
Add this to the subject matter which is so clearly explained and totally fascinating and you have a winning combination.
I can’t rate this whole series of podcasts highly enough.

Compelling and relaxing

Whoever thought it was a good idea needs someone to come round and nail their pets head to the kitchen table.

Stephen is brilliant as ever

Lose the dreadful infantile backing sounds

I noticed people complaining and the "background noise". I wanted to speak up and say that I find the sound scape a rather brilliant addition. It adds depth and interest to what, without Mr Fry's superb delivery, could have been quiete a dry narrative.

Fascinating - Great Content engagingly delivered

Marvelous and interesting. I only wish Stephen did more podcasts or even documentaries! To be honest he could do a podcast about the origins of bread and I'd listen.

Fascinating!

Stephen Fry is as great a narrator as there ever was, enough said there but the content of the podcast is just as compelling. I could, and most likely will, listen to the whole thing all over again. A quick note on the music as some seemed put off by it. I thought it was great. Perfectly in keeping with the subject matter and added some extra atmosphere and style to the deserving content.

Fascinating and entertaining.
