Producer / writer / Q.I. ‘elf’ / podcast co-host Dan Schreiber speaks to Mikey about bringing his hit podcast No Such Thing as a Fish to our shores, live on the Bruce Mason stage, May 19th of next year.
Produced and presented by the researchers (or, as they are called, ‘elves’) from the hit Stephen Fry fronted BBC comedy panel quiz show, Q.I., each podcast episode of No Such Thing as a Fish sees Dan and pals share the most bizarre, extraordinary and hilarious facts they’ve found out over the last seven days.

Producer Dan talks to David Hines, spokesperson for the Secular Education Network, a group campaigning to remove the current legal loophole.
