44 分钟Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast brought to you from the QI offices in Covent Garden.
My name's Anna, I'm joined today by fellow QI elves James Harkin and Andrew Hunter Murray,
and also a special guest today, historian and horrible histories writer Greg Jenner, who has a book to plug, correct?
Yes, plug, plug, plug, plug.
It's called A Million Years in a Day and it's out, like, now, and it's quite good.
It's quite good.
Yeah, it is good.
Some of us have read at least bits of it.
It's amazing.
I wouldn't go that far, but it's all right.
It's above average.
I would say it's definitely sort of top 70 percentile, you know, like, you know, it's a two one.
Okay, a high two one book, buy it.
Okay, let's get on with the show.
And for fact number one, let's go to you, Greg.
Okay, so my fact is from my book because I am that unimaginative.
And my fact is, in the 1960s in America, there was one particular bus route that was only 35 miles long.
But during that time, passengers passed through seven different time zones.
Wow.
