Week two of the news digest that aims to do for current affairs what the popular QI podcast No Such Thing As A Fish does for facts: find interesting stuff, kick it about, explain it and then bask in the glow of human knowledge gently expanded. Hosting in front of a live audience, which must be a daunting step up from sitting in an office with some microphones, are the "QI Elves": James Harkin, Andrew Hunter Murray, Anna Ptaszynski and Dan Schreiber.
