@cavyherd I think it was this recent episode of No Such Thing As A Fish in which they briefly discussed Emily Brewster discovering a new meaning of "a(n)": https://podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast/no-such-thing-as-gutter-ice/id840986946?i=1000747203795

Couldn't quickly find an original source for that claim, tho.

According to #NoSuchThingAsAFish ep 332, Stanton Avery, inventor of the self-adhesive sticker, lived in a rented chicken coop while studying.

I've only found one source, an obituary in the LA times. But set that aside and consider your next crazy inventor NPC: Stan lives and works in a ramshackle old shed where every surface is covered in chickens. He alone knows how to make sticky boots that let you walk on the ceiling. But first you must win over his 34 chicken housemates.

30/n I’m listening to the latest episode of No Such Thing As A Fish, and they have a fact about people believing for a long time that your arteries are filled with air (and that that’s even where the word “artery” comes from from), while they briefed that the airways were filled with fluids. In unrelated news: I bought an overpriced drink that apparently has extra oxygen?

@hn100 It must be Clean Room day to day. Was just listening to the #NoSuchThingAsAFIsh podcast where they mentioned bacteria surviving in the clean rooms they use to build sterile spacecraft sent to other planets. https://www.uh.edu/news-events/stories/2025/october/10082025-dormant-spacecraft-clean-room-bacteria.php

Had an excellent evening yesterday seeing #NoSuchThingAsAFish live at Hamer Hall.

Fantastic live recording of the No Such Thing As A Fish podcast at the Swedish Book Fair in Gothenburg yesterday! I asked the crew to come back again after the show, and they said it will probably happen! So let us hope Gothenburg is on the list of places they visit for the next tour! :-)

Any UK based No Such Thing as a Fish listeners here?

The last 2 episodes have been crammed with injected adverts, specifically for an Irish grocery chain.

The episodes have been downloaded via my ISP UK (@aaisp) so I assume their host is either not doing geo-loacation or it's very broken
