Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast coming to you from the QI offices in Covent Garden.
My name is Anna Toshinsky and I'm sitting here with James Harkin,
Andrew Hunter Murray and this week we are with Ed Brooke Hitching,

Get it now, go to Ed's Twitter feed or any bookshop.
After the show.
