Members of this community may recall my mentioning that I've only seen one television programme since my childhood, namely the British panel show, QI. Similarly, I've only ever heard one podcast, which appropriately is the spin-off of the series dubbed, No Such Thing as a Fish. The weekly series is produced and presented by the researchers behind QI.
The title comes from a conclusion by biologist Stephen Jay Gould after a lifetime studying fish who reasoned that although there are many sea creatures, most of them are not closely related to each other. For example, a salmon is more closely related to a camel than it is to a hagfish. In each episode each presenter presents their favourite fact that they have come across that week. They discuss the information surrounding that fact, and the other presenters add in extra facts and information connecting to it. It's great fun for tidbits of weird and wonderful knowledge.
