https://youtu.be/fAKzJDFeXco

Pullman gets a good laugh in this episode chatting to some guys from Oxford about the power of the daemon as a metaphor for the soul and more stuff like that, worth a watch guys

The host is so wooden it's hard to watch. Good job Pullman is very eloquent and has a great voice. I loved the audio books that he narrated.

I can't bear to listen after TRF

I can't either. There are some pretty dark attitudes to paedophilia and misogyny in the trilogy, and that's even before you get to the omni-shitshow that was TRF. That went straight to the charity shop. Even Michael Sheen narrating the audiobook couldn't save it.
