No Such Thing As A Fish is a rollicking trivia-fest where QI researchers gleefully swap the week’s oddest facts, turning obscure knowledge into rapid-fire wit. It’s equal parts pub banter and encyclopedia with punchlines—relentlessly clever, occasionally absurd, and charmingly British in its refusal to take itself too seriously.
"Knowledgeable, fun, and quirky British podcast from the researchers of the hit TV panel show QI (Quite Interesting). It's my favourite chat podcast to listen to while on a walk or on lunch, and feels like I'm hanging out with a bunch of my smartest friends."
- Kat Kourbeti, Strange Horizons
No Such Thing as a Fish is a brilliantly oddball podcast that delivers a delightful mixture of trivia, humor, and absurdity, all served with the same irreverence that made the British TV show QI a cult favorite. Hosted by the QI researchers, the podcast is an exploration of the bizarre facts that don’t make it into textbooks, the obscure nuggets of knowledge that entertain more than they inform. Each week, the hosts—a fast-talking, witty bunch—discuss their favorite "fact of the week," from the quirky to the completely bizarre, each one presented with infectious enthusiasm and a touch of mischief.
The appeal of No Such Thing as a Fish lies not just in the oddness of the facts, but in the camaraderie and infectious energy of the hosts. The podcast’s charm is its lack of pretension; it’s an education in the form of a chat between friends, laughing at the weirdness of the world and reveling in the strange joy of learning. It’s a light-hearted, endlessly entertaining look at the curious, the quirky, and the downright peculiar aspects of life—and it never fails to leave you with a smile and a fun fact to share.
