About this listen
Random House Audiobooks present The Audiobook of the Year, written and read by the team behind hit podcast No Such Thing As A Fish: James Harkin, Andrew Hunter Murray, Anna Ptaszynski and Dan Schreiber.
In a year when much of the news was believable but fake, comes an audiobook packed with stories that are unbelievable but true.
The Audiobook of the Year is a feature-length edition of the award-winning hit comedy podcast No Such Thing As A Fish. Each week, over a million people tune in to find out what bizarre and astonishing facts Dan, James, Anna and Andy have found out over the previous seven days. Now the gang have turned their attention to the news of the past twelve months.
You’ll discover the curious details behind the main headlines – how Donald Trump slept on the 66th floor of a 58-storey building, what effect Brexit had on Coco Pops, and why China’s president can’t stand Winnie the Pooh – as well as hundreds of stories you may have missed entirely, like the news that:
- Qatar built a refugee camp for camels
- 2,000 bees were stolen in Beeston
- The victim of Britain’s first ever shark attack ended up with a cut thumb.
From bizarre arrests to baffling elections, via a surprising amount of sausage news, The Audiobook of the Year is an eye-opening tour of the incredible year you didn’t know you’d lived through.
‘Jolly, packed with impressive and silly facts . . . hooray for No Such Thing As A Fish.’ – Observer
‘Knowledge-packed and riotously funny.’ – The Times
Would you listen to The Audiobook of the Year again? Why?
Yes. There is a lot to take in, and it moves pretty fastWhat did you like best about this story?
What story?What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
English accentsIf you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
I'd say it was written by Quentin Tarantino. I like him and his name will grab headlines. The film would make loads of money, and I'd get a promotion. In a few years I'd be in a position of power and would be making enough money to finance an impressive coke habitIts fast paced with plenty in it
