I bought A Beginners Guide to Breaking and Entering by Andrew Hunter Murray on Apple Books UK after hearing the opening chapter on the audiobook on a Patreon Club Fish episode of the No Such Thing as a Fish podcast recently.

. Quite the podcast find. Great to squeeze in a couple of Eps for a spooky drive home after work. Addictive!
And is helping to spread out the final 64 Eps of which has been keeping me company all through the Pandemic years!

There's an interesting question by over on the site formerly known as (and to be honest, still known as) Twitter:

Right, in need of some

Can you provide us with the most unnecessary fact you've learned recently? Let us absorb your knowledge ...

So ...

Anything?

(Edit: Boosts for reach very welcome. I'm sure there are many people out there who have recently learned apparently useless or unnecessary things)

@ColinTheMathmo In 1950, the ballet/pantomime "Isotopia" was performed. It was a creation by Muriel Howarth, apparently a radioactivity enthusiast. It featured people portraying protons, neutrons, electrons and a Geiger counter. Apparently, this is what Time magazine wrote about it:

“13 bosomy A.E. Associates in flowing evening gowns gyrated gracefully about a stage in earnest imitation of atomic forces at work. An ample electron in black lace wound her way around two matrons labeled ‘proton’ and ‘neutron’ while an elderly ginger-haired Geiger counter clicked out their radioactive effect on a pretty girl named Agriculture. At a climactic moment, a Mrs. Monica Davial raced across the stage in spirited representation of a rat eating radioactive cheese.”

Interesting. The No Such Thing as a Fish podcast is now available on BBC Sounds.

I’d love to hear the backstory for this change. Id guess its part of a wider deal for the Qi TV show and other radio shows from the Qi production company.

Best quote from this weeks “are you on mastodon?” “No, that sounds like a mafia based porn site”.
