BBC Radio 4 has started a new series on the English language, titled Fry’s English Delight. In the second programme, which you can listen to below, Fry explores the subject of pronunciation. He is joined by experts of communication skills and elocution to dicuss the power of proper pronunciation. The radio broadcast will be available online for a few more days.
For more Stephen Fry, browse his website. I can recommend following him on Twitter and listening to his podcasts.

Turns out that not everyone’s impressed with the episode. Specifically, dialect experts. It’s interesting to hear differences in what people have to say on the topic.
