No Such Thing As A Fish
No Such Thing As A Fish
SummaryIf you have ever wondered why a group of historical figures might name their plants after fictional characters, or how over a hundred hamsters once managed to ground an entire airplane, you have found your new obsession. No Such Thing As A Fish is the weekly ritual where hosts Andrew Hunter Murray, Dan Schreiber, and James Harkin gather to trade the most bizarre, useless, and fascinating pieces of trivia they have unearthed from the corners of history, science, and the human experience. Each episode is a masterclass in curiosity, blending high-brow historical investigation with the kind of lighthearted, rapid-fire banter that only long-term friends can pull off. Whether they are dissecting the intricate royal protocols of Elizabeth I, exploring the evolution of ventriloquism, or recounting the absurdity of an 18th-century wine poisoning scandal, the team maintains a infectious enthusiasm for the world’s most eccentric realities. They are frequently joined by guest comedians and experts who bring their own unique insights—from synesthesia to the nuances of occult mythology—into the fold. It is a show for the terminally curious, where the hosts act as custodians of the world’s oddities, proving that reality is almost always stranger, funnier, and more complex than fiction. Tune in to lose your heart to the overlooked, the obscure, and the delightfully nonsensical details that make our world tick.
