Breaking Down Human Progress, One Podcast at a Time
Stephen Fry needs no introduction, but his new podcast just might. Great Leap Years is the exploration of how humankind has arrived to the here and now; how we’ve thought, worked, and invented our way to a world of iphones, Teslas, and Facebook.
This is a podcast for people who like history, who like to know what forces in the past shaped our today. It’s a podcast for people who like science, and diving into the inner workings of our machines and ourselves. And it’s also a podcast for people who like storytelling, as we trace human progress, the biggest story of all, from it’s beginning slowly but surely towards its end, with endless tension and a few climaxes along the way.
And if all that fails to entice you, there’s always Stephen Fry’s magical, perfectly-toned and timed articulation. It’s the type of voice you want to narrate your life. And in a way, that’s exactly what he’s doing.
Hope you enjoy it,
