Hello and welcome to another episode of no Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast coming to you from the QI offices in Holborn.
My name is Dan Schreiber.
I am sitting here with James Harkin, Andrew Hunter Murray and Anna Tashinsky.
And once again, we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days.
And.
And in no particular order, here we go.
Starting with fact number one, and that is James.
Okay, my fact this week is that L.
Frank Baum based one of the witches in the wizard of Oz on his mother in law.
I didn't know that he was a 1970s stand up comedian.
It sounds like such a sexist fact that, doesn't it?
Yeah, but if we tell you who the mother in law involved is, it won't sound sexist.
And also which witch it was and.
Which witch it was.
Yeah, that's more important.
It's the beautiful and benevolent Glinda who is the Good Witch of the North.
Yeah, gotcha.
You thought it was the green one?
No, I don't know what color she is.
