is a feature-length edition of the award-winning hit comedy podcast No Such Thing As A Fish.

Now the gang have turned their attention to the news of the past twelve months.

You’ll discover the curious details behind the main headlines – how Donald Trump slept on the 66th floor of a 58-storey building, what effect Brexit had on Coco Pops, and why China’s president can’t stand Winnie the Pooh – as well as hundreds of stories you may have missed entirely, like the news that:

- Qatar built a refugee camp for camels
- 2,000 bees were stolen in Beeston
- The victim of Britain’s first ever shark attack ended up with a cut thumb.


From bizarre arrests to baffling elections, via a surprising amount of sausage news, is an eye-opening tour of the incredible year you didn’t know you’d lived through.
