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.
