0:00.0	Hi everyone, welcome to another episode of No Singers A Fish. This is another live show
0:06.3	which was recorded at the Soho Theatre in London and who is our special guest today.
0:13.5	Well, if you are a podcast fan, if you are a fan of amazing books, if you were a fan of
0:20.0	the TV show Horrible Histories, then you'll know who I'm talking about. Our guest was
0:25.6	the historian Greg Jenner. So like I say, Greg first came to prominence, I suppose,
0:32.6	as the historical consultants on The Horrible Histories, but he has since become a nerdy superstar
0:38.8	in his own right, thanks to his podcast Your Dead To Me, which you definitely, if you haven't,
0:43.7	I'm sure you've heard it, but if you haven't heard it, you definitely should check that out.
0:46.8	But he also has written lots of books, the latest of which are called Ask A Historian,

1:21.2	not be disappointed with this week's podcast, so let's just get on with it. I'm with a podcast.
1:38.2	Hello, and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast this week
1:45.0	coming to you live from the Soho Theatre in London. My name is Jan Schreiber. I am sitting here
1:53.8	with James Harkin, Andrew Hunter Murray, and Greg Jenner. And once again, we have gathered
1:58.7	around the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days, and in no particular
2:03.4	order, here we go. Starting with fact number one, and that is my fact this week. My fact is
2:10.1	when Virginia's Barter Theatre first opened in 1933, it paid playwrights their royalties
2:16.4	exclusively in Ham, except for George Bernard Shaw, who was a vegetarian, and managed to negotiate
