  Hello, and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,

• 00:18

  a weekly podcast coming to you from four undisclosed locations in the UK.

• 00:23

  My name is Dan Schreiber, I am sitting here with Anna Tyshinski, James Harkin, and Andrew Hunter Murray.

• 00:28

  And once again, we have gathered round the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days,

• 00:34

  and in no particular order, here we go.

• 00:37

  Starting with you, Andy.

• 00:39

  My fact is that after his death,

• 00:40

  Anton Chekhov was brought back to Russia in a refrigerated railway car labelled Fresh Oysters.

• 00:46

  Wow.

• 00:48

  So was he all nice?

• 00:50

  Oh, I don't know if he was actually all nice.

• 00:52

  I know that he was, he was pre-chilled.

• 00:55

  Was he?

• 00:56

  Before that, I think, well, he was,

• 00:57

  he was chilled because the last thing before he died was he had some champagne, which would have been cold as well.

• 01:03

  So yeah, this is a 1904, he was 44 years old,

• 01:07

  very young to have completely, you know, revolutionised Russian literature.

• 01:13

  And he was in a spa in Germany because he had tuberculosis.

• 01:18

  And the doctor arrived, and when the doctor arrived,

• 01:21

  because things were nearing the end, his tuberculosis was really bad at this point.
