Hi everybody just before we start this week's show we know that Christmas is on the way and if you are hoping to do any

Christmas shopping for the fish fan in your life then we have some last minute

recommendations that will save your bacon and save Christmas.

Yes my first bacon saving recommendation is that you buy two books immediately by the sanctuary by

some random are called Andrew Hunter Murray. Yes, that's yeah that's this guy look I

it goes against all my principles to say this I don't even necessarily like the guy but it really

is a brilliant book it's got amazing reviews it's gripping it's about this remote island owned by a

mysterious billionaire it's very twisty-turny thriller it's fantastic and once you've done that

go and buy the theory of everything else by a certain Dan Shriver very different kind of book

it's like getting inside Dan Shriver's head but in a really fun way it's not as chaotic as you

imagine it's full of the amazing theories that geniuses have come up with that you definitely

won't have heard of it's a fascinating fact on every in every paragraph basically so get those

absolutely and alternatively you can get Christmas goodies from no such thing as a fish.com we

have just launched two new t-shirts along with lovely pin badges you can identify other fish listeners

in the wild slash public by getting yourself one of these two things there's also a lovely

tour book from the recent tour we've just finished which is a complete history and demonology

and future guide to fish and all its iterations they're all so much fun and you can get them

at no such thing as a fish.com yep that's right and now we will see his vlogging presence to you
