Odds are if you listen to Radio 1's Screen Time - and if you're reading this, there's a decent chance you do - you're aware of the super soaraway podcast success that is No Such Thing As A Fish, where four QI elves get together to throw semi-incredible facts at each other. One of their number is Dan Schreiber, a friend of the show here at Screen Time, and he was kind enough to stop by Radio 1 recently to indulge in a fact-slinging match with Ali about troubled movie productions, inspired in part by some killer stories in his new book, The Theory Of Everything Else. So expect extreme geekery and a surprising reassessment of 2005's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Dan Schreiber discusses with Ivan six things which should be better known. Dan Schreiber is a writer, stand-up comedian, TV presenter, producer and podcaster.

Original broadcast date March 7, 2019. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2019/03/binary-system-podcast-167-welcome-to-night-vale-143-pioneer-days/ It's time for Pioneer Days in Night Vale again! Wow, has it already been a year since the last festival? The answer is: no, it hasn't, because Pioneer Days happen at random times whenever the Night Vale Utilities company shuts off all the power and water in the town, leaving everyone to sit in the dark while all the food in their refrigerators spoils. It's festive. Listen in as the Binary System Podcast talks this week about the Night Vale festival with time-traveler photographs, an Interactive Boardwalk in the desert, and a truly horrifying recipe for Cherries Jubilee. Plus, we'll ramble for a bit about fever dreams, photo exhibits, cosplay issues, and our very favorite podcasts (other than this one, naturally). This week's outro music is a clip from This Guy Is Falling by Sebon http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Sebon/Featuring_The_Advocates/Sebon_-_Featuring_The_Advocates_-_05_This_Guy_Is_Falling?fbclid=IwAR1vF99W1beNEoTR5-VpnY6GYKP3nlNmu4hXkAD_yZBmqmtIgLRuDQ9JSKw Here's links to some of the podcasts we're currently obsessed with (75% of which were suggested by Hannah): https://www.facebook.com/BananaHammer/ Worst Foot Forward https://www.worstfootforwardpodcast.com/ No Such Thing As A Fish https://www.nosuchthingasafish.com/ Swindled http://swindledpodcast.com/ My Dad Wrote a Porno http://www.mydadwroteaporno.com/

This interview episode of the Banned Biographies podcast is a great conversation with Jack Pop, founder of the Alcopop! Record label. I was made aware of Alcopop! at the beginning of the year when I spoke to The Stepney Sisters about the release of their debut album, 50 years after forming, which was put out by Alcopop!. I then did a bit of reading on the label's website and couldn't believe the story about its forming thanks to a bet on the result of a football match. If you've not heard of the label, British listeners will probably remember when the UKIP (UK Independence Party's) website was taken over and covered in unicorns and rainbows? That was Alcopop!. Putting the QI podcast, No Such Thing As A Fish, out as the first UK podcast on vinyl with a secret track by Slipknot's Corey Taylor, that was Alcopop!. The label has also released albums in a host of innovative release formats like on scarves, frisbees and even bicycles as well as some pretty genius political stunts as well. Jack is a real gent, he was a pleasure to speak to and has so many amazing stories. I hope you enjoy this chat as much as I had having it.  Alcopop! Records has some brilliant bands signed to it. Check them out at ilovealcopop.co.uk and give their bands a listen, buy some merch and reach out to them to let them know I sent you, they're on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram as well as Soundcloud , Bandcamp and YouTube.

This week, Ian was joined by Dan Schreiber and James Harkin from No Such Thing As A Fish to promote The Book of the Year 2019. Ginger Johnson was also in the studio.

It's Christmas! Joining Ian for the final show of the year (and the most festive) was some of our favourite guests from 2018, including The Chief from Channel 4's Hunted, Peter Bleksley, thespian and Queen of Ian's heart Harriet Thorpe, frontman of Towers of London Donny Tourette and Dan Schreiber and James Harkin from the No Such Thing As A Fish podcast! What a show! Also, intern Will gets feedback on his university paper about working at FUBAR.

Joining Ian this week was acclaimed author Anthony Horowitz, who discussed his career to date, his new book, and his role in creating the TV adaption of Midsomer Murders, proving Nat right and Ian wrong in the process. Hannah Spearritt was on the show this week to talk about I, Dog, which isn't quite what Ian and the team from the No Such Thing As A Fish podcast thought it was after their discussion a few weeks ago. Finally, actor Matt Corner was in the studio to talk all about Fiddler On The Roof. Ian also sang some songs from it, and tried to work out with Nat whether the Black Eyed Peas should rename one of their biggest hits.

Things we learnt on this weeks show: lots of things have happened, happening over a long period of time, happening all the time, and they never stop happening. Also, magic is fake. James Harkin and Dan Schreiber from No Such Thing As A Fish were Ian's first guests in the studio to talk about their new book, and they discussed a whole range of issues from beating Ian at an awards ceremony to pretending to be former S Club member Hannah Spearritt. Following James and Dan was magician Tom Brace, who was in the studio to discuss a couple of upcoming shows.
