In GBA 225 we get better acquainted with Frog. He talks about Daniel Barker's Birthday, glass aquariums, a love for natural history and the history of science, high and low culture and literature, the twitter-verse, the story of the family Tench and how he came to be writing a book about whaling. And he did all this whilst at the same time cooking a delicious meal for two.\n\nFrog plugs:\n\nChina_Mi\xe9ville: Iron Council: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Iron-Council-New-Crobuzon-3/dp/0330534203\n\nChina_Mi\xe9ville: Perdido Street Station: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Perdido-Street-Station-New-Crobuzon/dp/0330534238 \n\nTwitter: @gimzify: https://twitter.com/gimzify\n\n@FrogCroakley: https://twitter.com/frogcroakley\n\nThe Sea Hates A Coward (Tomes of the Dead) by Nathan/Nate Crowley: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Hates-Coward-Tomes-Dead-ebook/dp/B013I681P8\n\nI plug:\n\nStand Up Tragedy: Tragic Autumn: http://www.facebook.com/events/1453089018350037/\n\nStand Up Tragedy presents.... http://www.facebook.com/events/461679520679231/\n\n#ManSurvey: http://www.mansplainingmasculinity.co.uk/\n\nWe mention:\n\nSpark London: http://sparklondon.com/\nDaniel Barker: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-177-daniel-barker\nDaniel Barker's Birthday: https://storify.com/FrogCroakley/the-colelcted-daniel-barker-s-birth\nhttp://danielbarker.cogdiss.com/\nOn Buzzfeed: http://www.buzzfeed.com/alanwhite/a-guy-complained-no-one-had-wished-him-happy-birthday-on-twi\nGuy / @brainmage: https://twitter.com/brainmage\nChina Mi\xe9ville: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Mi%C3%A9ville\nShakespeare: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakespeare\nDickens: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Dickens\nStar Wars: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_wars\nTimehop: http://timehop.com/\nHelen Zaltzman: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-200-pt-1-with-helen-zaltzman\nLondon Aquarium: https://www2.visitsealife.com/london/\nLondon Zoo: https://www.zsl.org/zsl-london-zoo\nTench: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tench\nIzaak Walter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izaak_Walton\nThe Compleat Angler: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izaak_Walton#The_Compleat_Angler\nWhipsnade: https://www.zsl.org/zsl-whipsnade-zoo\nAmsterdam: http://www.artis.nl/en/artis-royal-zoo/\nNational Aquarium Atlanta Georgia: http://www.georgiaaquarium.org/\nWhale shark: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whale_shark\nSteampunk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampunk\nHis Dark Materials: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/His_Dark_Materials\nStudio Ghibli: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_Ghibli\nWarhammer 40k: http://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Warhammer-40-000\nGreat Exhibition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Exhibition\nDinosaurs in Chrystal Palace: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Palace_Dinosaurs\nMoby Dick: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moby-Dick\nASMR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_sensory_meridian_response\n\n\nFollow @GBApodcast on Twitter.
