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. Greed is right, greed works”. It’s easy to dismiss this. Your instinct might be to shake your head sadly, or scoff angrily. Yet... For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

S2 EP2 - Pride
For two thousand years Pride has stood at the very top of the list of the Seven Deadly Sins. Perhaps no longer. Perhaps a new sin is rising to replace it. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

I want only to point at the obvious. Mr Fry has taken the prudest, primest, most purist and pretentious-sounding theme of Cardinal Sins, and managed to make it fun. This is not supposed to be an essay, a sermon, or a treatise. You don't have to be a Marxist, a Randian, or a liberal to enjoy this podcast, any more than you need to be a Roman Catholic to study the Divine Comedy, which secularises everything and therefore nothing at all. Mr Fry is doing exactly the same thing that Dante did, however prone to Shakespeare-quoting he is.
Wow
For a uneducated man like myself,this podcast and man is a genius and so interesting

Execrable
The first episode was rather good, despite the gratuitous swearing which Fry seems to like but isn’t to my tastes. Subsequent ones have been Fry at his verbose worst, with little insight.
