How To is a guide to the third kind of approach. It's full of highly impractical advice for everything from landing a plane to digging a hole.

Publisher's summary
Random House presents The Audiobook of the Year (2018), written and read by the team behind hit podcast No Such Thing as a Fish: James Harkin, Jane Hill, Dan Schreiber, Andrew Hunter Murray and Anna Ptaszynski.
Think you know what happened in 2018? Think again.
Following hot on the heels of the success of The Audiobook of the Year (or, more precisely, 12 months later), The Audiobook of the Year (2018) bravely delves behind the headlines to sniff out the best and most bizarre facts of the past 12 months.
Compiled and written by the creators of the award-winning hit comedy podcast No Such Thing as a Fish, all of whom are researchers for QI, it will establish - among other things - that:
- Britain’s first robot shop assistant was sacked after a week
- Donald Trump claimed the US sells F52 planes to Norway, even though F52 planes exist only in the game Call of Duty
- During the Winter Olympics, it was so windy during the Women's Slopestyle Final that every single competitor was blown off her snowboard.
- A snail racing competition in Plymouth was postponed because the snails were too 'sluggish' to take part.
Ranging from the distinctly offbeat to the wonderfully ludicrous - from the South Africans who were rationed to just one toilet flush per day, to the Nutella riots spreading across France, via the Miami bitcoin conference that stopped accepting bitcoin - The Audiobook of the Year (2018) promises a fact for every occasion and will prove the perfect Christmas gift for all trivia buffs.

if you know what you're getting, you're getting it
this is an extended fish podcast, straight up. It differs in; having chapter titles, more "layout"than their regular episodes, and written word puns (which are always explained by the narrators). it's also more current event based (or recently current) than their normal episodes, speaking moistly of things from the year in the title, rather than doing historic dives like they do on the podcast. All of their charms and quirks are present and on full display, if you enjoy the podcast there's very little reason to think you won't enjoy this "audio book" *cough*long form podcast.
I've always wanted them to have a Patreon setup, and I feel this purchase will have supported them, without the bonus of ad free episodes (there are no ads in this audio book, but I really wouldn't mind paying to have ad free no such thing as a fish podcast)

One of few good ways to remember 2018
All the nerdy joy of the annual compendium of facts, with so many hours of wit and silliness added that it’s like having three extra books. Perfect for driving or public transport (barring the odd bark of laughter), and the only retrospective of 2018 that I trust.

Perfect way to summarize a year
I mean, there is not much to review about this book other than to say that it was a 10 hour No Such Thing as a Fish Podcast which I can't complain about; makes a perfect way to summarize each year. The Audiobook version is 100% the only way to go for this particular book.

Excellent Listen
Am a big fan of the "No Such Thing as a Fish" and this year's book of the year has more of the feel of the podcast. Last years was the book read aloud - and enjoyable for that. This year has more interaction between the 4 and more of the podcast feel.

Great book but plagued with poor editing
I really enjoy the podcasts to a 9 hour version is great for me. It suffers from poor editing however with lots of repeated sentences not being removed and chapter titles inserted in the middle of sentences.

Like a very long podcast
Since it's written and narrated by the NSTAAF team, it's like a 9 hour podcast with the same demeanour and banter. If you're a religious follower of the podcast then you'll notice a few repeats, but the majority of the content is new and fresh. Unlike most current-event-based productions, this could be visited years down the line and still be interesting. NSTAAF did a great job producing a light-hearted review of the year's weird news,, exactly as I had hoped it would after following the weekly podcast.

Perfect for me
I Love random facts, especially when it's put in a fun format (I listen their podcast too). I'm fussy with what I watch and I listen to, yet I listen to this day and night (most days). Might help to say I have autism and have a special interest in learning about anything and everything

love these guys!
I love the Fish podcast, and this is basically like an extended episode of that. it's got all the best things about the podcast, especially Dan being an idiot and everyone else trying to work through it!

Amazing
Loved it. Listened to it in it's entirety during a road trip between Melbourne and Sydney. It made the trip so much quicker. I did the same thing last year with the 2017 edition. I hope NSTAAF put out a new edition every year so I can continue the tradition.

Not all facts/Trump Bashing
As you can tell by the cover there's a lot of trump bashing in this book. I would have given it a higher score, however, when they're quoting things Stormy Daniels says as fact I find it hard to believe everything their actually saying.
Generally I do enjoy there podcasts, but I'm just a bit over the Trump bashing and it appears they a bit one sided in there opinions.
