Higher English - Stephen Fry Stuff

Oh committed academic,

As you may have been aware, I am planning to get you to study a Stephen Fry podcast for your Higher English Paper 2 once we have finished Ethan Frome. So if you want to get ahead of the game, here's some stuff to help you do that.

I have included a link to the Stephen Fry podcast on language below, as well as the text version of the podcast, in case you wish to read it/listen to it in advance of studying it. How exciting is this? You now realise that by stealthily sneaking to this blog, you will get advance warning of work. Does that make me really sad that I find this exciting? Either way, here are the links:

Don't Mind Your Language Podcast - You can either get it via i-Tunes or click on the Subscribe via direct RSS link button and it will take you to a new page. There you can right-click the file you want and Save Location/Link As. This should allow you to download it. It is up to you whether you get the Audio Only version or the one with pictures too. However, the Audio Visual one is rubbish. It just means you get a still picture of Stephen Fry smirking at you for the entire episode. Unless that floats you boat, I would just plump for the Audio version and plonk it on your mp3 player of choice.

Don't Mind Your Language Text Version - This is the text of the podcast. It is this you will be studying. This is an early version of the resource, as it contains no notes yet. It will in due course, in the white space on the right-hand side of each page.

Knock yourself out.
