Summary

Random House Audiobooks present The Audiobook of the Year, written and read by the team behind hit podcast No Such Thing As A Fish: James Harkin, Andrew Hunter Murray, Anna Ptaszynski and Dan Schreiber.


In a year when much of the news was believable but fake, comes an audiobook packed with stories that are unbelievable but true.

The Audiobook of the Year is a feature-length edition of the award-winning hit comedy podcast No Such Thing As A Fish. Each week, over a million people tune in to find out what bizarre and astonishing facts Dan, James, Anna and Andy have found out over the previous seven days. 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, The Audiobook of the Year is an eye-opening tour of the incredible year you didn’t know you’d lived through.

I wish there were more letters in the alphabet, so this could have been even longer. It was brilliant!

Great fun!

If you're a fan of the podcast, you'll enjoy this! An extension of the team's show, they take you through each fact and (just like the podcast) will joke about what's been said and add their own extra trivia to the discussion.

While the sound quality isn't as clear as the podcast, and everyone sounds a little stilted when reading their fact, I wouldn't say this takes away from the enjoyment. You can tell from the occasional muffled, suppressed laughter that everyone enjoys what they're doing and makes for a great audio book.

Very good, very long
