Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast coming

to you from four undisclosed locations in the UK.

My name is Dan Schreiber and I am sitting here with Andrew Hunter Murray, Anatozhinsky

and James Harkin and once again we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite

facts from the last seven days and in no particular order here we go.

Starting with James.

My fact this week is that hagfish can eat by sitting inside the dinner and absorbing

the nutrients through their skin.

Isn't that amazing?

Wouldn't that be incredible if you could just sit inside your curry and just eat the food

like that?

There would be some foods that would be worse for or messier for.

Go on.

The way if you had to get inside a sausage before eating it, do you think you're very big

soft?

I think it's going to be messy almost whatever food you're climbing inside.

You're true.

I think with a sausage you might just rub it against your skin rather than climbing and

trying to strap the sausage to yourself.

I think so and then it's slowly absorbed.

That's what I would do if I was a hagfish.

I'd like to see a hagfish eating a sausage because they look a bit like a long sausage.
