Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast coming to you from our four respective homes in the UK while we're all on lockdown.
My name is Dan Schreiber and I am sitting here with Andrew Hunter Murray,
Anna Tijinski and James Harkin and once again we have gathered round the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days and in no particular order here we go.
Starting with you, Anna.
My fact this week is that P.T.
Barnum once tried to buy William Shakespeare's birthplace and transport it to America.
Would that technically have made Shakespeare American if his house where he was born was moved to America?
Yeah I think that's how citizenship works.
It would have been ideal for him.
He could have worked in America, it's a dream.
So P.T.
Barnum, the very famous 19th century showman, entertainer, circus man and businessman and great PR man above all.
Very famous guy, I think there was a film about him recently.
Was it The Greatest Show?
Was that about him?
The Greatest Showman.
Showman.
There you go.
It's all in the title.
