0:00.0	Hi everybody, Andy here. Just before we start this week's show, we have two exciting announcements
0:06.3	to make. The first is about who our special guest is this week. She is a brilliant Canadian
0:12.3	writer, screenwriter, showrunner, now also a first time author. She is Monica Hisey, and her
0:20.2	debut novel really good actually is out within the last few weeks, and it is unsurprisingly
0:25.6	really good actually. It's all about the life and travails of a woman who has become a surprisingly
0:30.7	young divalcy. It is extremely funny. It's kind of, you know, accidentally, it's like snot,
0:36.1	milk, how do you know it's funny. It's great. Highly recommended, so we hope you enjoy the show.
0:40.9	Monica was great as you will hear shortly. The second announcement we have to make is that we are
0:45.6	doing a live show of no such thing as a fish. Very exciting, we are going to be at the hallowed
0:50.9	British Library in London. They are having a season all about animals and as part of that,
0:56.3	we are doing a show called Fantastic Beasts. It's going to be Dan, James, myself, and a special guest
1:02.1	to be announced. It's going to be on the 21st of April, and if you don't live anywhere near the
1:06.2	British Library, there is also going to be a streamed version of it. So just go to no such thing
1:11.6	as a fish.com slash live. You will see there the tickets are available for our British Library show.
1:18.3	Check it out. Okay, that's it. That's all of the announcements. I'll meet the show.
1:36.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of no such thing as a fish, a weekly podcast coming to you
1:42.0	from four undisclosed locations in the UK. My name is Dan Schreiber. I am sitting here with
1:47.9	James Harkin, Andrew Hunter Murray, and Monica Hisee. And once again, we have gathered around the
1:53.4	microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days. And in a particular order,
1:58.4	here we go. Starting with fact number one, that is Monica. So my fact is that in ancient Hebrew
2:06.4	times, men could get a divorce if their wife had been alone in a room with another man. And I was
2:13.2	really interested in this fact because my divorce lawyer told me that this may still be true.
