  Hi everyone, welcome to this week's episode of No Such Thing as a Fish.

• 00:03

  Now, before I remind you about our tour,

• 00:07

  which is about to begin in places such as Tumbridge Wells, Nottingham Richmond, Reading, Peterborough,

• 00:11

  and a whole load of other places, I want to tell you about the very,

• 00:15

  very, very special guest that we have on today's show.

• 00:19

  Anna is away at the moment.

• 00:21

  She's on holiday.

• 00:22

  I'm not sure exactly where she's gone.

• 00:24

  Probably somewhere very sunny.

• 00:26

  Last I saw she was removing lots of the holiday clothes from her bag and replacing them with 19th century literature,

• 00:32

  so I'm sure she's having a great time.

• 00:33

  But in her place, we have the incredible journalist and author Mary Roach.

• 00:41

  Now, I don't know if you'll know about Mary.

• 00:43

  You really should if you don't.

• 00:44

  She is, well, what I would say is if you were to take QI, the TV show, and No Such Thing as a Fish,

• 00:50

  and squish it all together in a tiny little ball, send it over to America,

• 00:56

  and then reconstitute it as a single human, then pretty much you're going to end up with Mary Roach.

• 01:01

  She has written some of the greatest popular science books in history, books such as Stiff,

• 01:08

  The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, Bonk, The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex.

• 01:15

  I think you can see probably why we get on very well with Mary.
