Shaun welcomes Stephen Fry into the studio to chat about his new book - 'Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold'. Stephen tells Shaun "Retelling these stories has been the most rewarding labour of love I have ever undertaken. The Greek myths tell us more about ourselves today than any body of legend and lore that I have ever met with. The characters and their adventures live in our language, politics, history, psychology and art, and I hope that you will be enchanted to meet for the first time or renew acquaintance with the gods, monsters, heroes, titans, nymphs, demons and mortals that populate this matchless world"

All this plus Matt Everitt is here with the Music News which includes a chat with Steven Van Zandt and Shaun kicks off today's Album of the Day from Bootsy Collins.
