Rage Bait Bugle (Bumper Edition!)

1 hr 13 min

Recorded live in Melbourne, this week’s Bugle is a full-throttle Rage Bait Special, with Andy Zaltzman joined by Lloyd Langford, Sami Shah, and Alice Fraser to chew through the year’s biggest stories with fury, confusion, and jokes of questionable legality. 🇦🇺 Australia: We confront the latest tragedies in Australia, and try (with limited success) to process them through satire, empathy, and yelling into the void. 🇺🇸 Trump News: Meanwhile, Donald Trump continues to do… whatever it is he’s doing now. We attempt to identify it, label it, and possibly quarantine it. 📁 Epstein: We dig a little deeper into what we do and don’t know — and why this story refuses to go away. 📆 And we rummage through some of the other best (and worst) stories of 2025, because there’s always more. Always. Angry, funny, cathartic — this is The Bugle doing what it does best, in front of a live Australian audience. 🎧 Support The Bugle! Become a Team Bugle subscriber for bonus episodes, exclusive video editions, and the righteous satisfaction of funding satire: http://thebuglepodcast.com 📺 Watch Realms Unknown on YouTube Produced by Tom Wright, Chris Skinner and Laura Turner.

Make Movies Great Again!

50 min

Recorded live in Brisbane, Australia, this week’s Bugle sees Andy Zaltzman joined on stage by Nish Kumar and Alice Fraser for a high-energy international tour of scandal, chaos, and cinematic derangement. 🇦🇺 Australia News: The country is rocked by the unthinkable — a Wiggles drug scandal. Plus, an Australian PM finally does something. 🇬🇧 UK Politics: Back in Britain, there’s fresh chaos and alleged racism in Westminster. Standards continue their long retreat into the sea (just off the coast of Clacton). 🇺🇸 Trump News: And in America, Donald Trump appears to be greenlighting movies. Yes, really. With Rush Hour 4 apparently on the table, Hollywood has reached a new constitutional crisis.

Andy's Random News Balls

48 min

As Andy prepares to fly to Australia for The Ashes, the big question is: is he even slightly focused? The evidence suggests no. 🎯 TOP STORY – RANDOM NEWS ROUND-UP: 🏆 Cheating Pub Quiz News — Move over Louvre heist! The latest great intellectual crime spree takes place in a British pub, and it involves phones, trivia, and moral collapse.🪙 American Coin News — The US Mint has been busy. Or weird. Or both. We examine America’s ongoing attempt to turn currency into a stand-up routine.🤖 Russian Robot News — Russia unveils a robot. Or a “robot.” Or a man in a tinfoil box. The details are, frankly, inconclusive.🇺🇸 Trump News — Because of course there is. A dizzying tour of the world’s oddest headlines — just another day at The Bugle. 🎧 Support The Bugle! Become a Team Bugle subscriber for bonus episodes, exclusive video editions, and a warm sense that you’ve chosen the correct timeline: thebuglepodcast.com 📺 Watch Realms Unknown on YouTube.

47 min

This week, Andy Zaltzman is joined by Helen Zaltzman and Josie Long for an episode awash with political upheaval, mild optimism, and existential dread. 🌊 The Blue Wave: Across the US, progressives are making surprising gains — including Zohran Mamdani’s win in NYC. But how long before the wave meets the usual breakwater of bureaucracy? 🎙️ Trump vs the BBC: In a glorious meltdown that will echo through press rooms for decades, Donald Trump loses it live on air. Andy brings us a world-exclusive “interview” with The Don himself — because if you can’t get him in person, you can always get him in parody. 🔥 The End of the World (Slowly): Climate, conflict, capitalism — the apocalypse is on layaway, but it’s still coming.

Space Junk, Big Trains & Hot Potatoes - Bugle 4359

49 min

The Bugle turns 18 — and we’re not done celebrating yet! In Part 2 of our birthday special, Andy Zaltzman is joined by Alice Fraser and Nish Kumar to take a sideways look at some of the week’s more alternative headlines. 🚆 UK News: Double-decker trains could be coming to Britain — but is it a great leap forward, or just a taller disaster waiting to happen? 🛰️ Australian News: Space junk keeps falling from the sky. Should we be worried, or is this just nature’s way of redecorating the Outback? 📚 Online News: Wikipedia turns out to be even stranger than you remember — and possibly more reliable than your uncle’s Facebook feed. 🥔 Bugle Hot Potato: Producer Chris Skinner finally reveals the results of our first-ever Bugle audience survey, and the findings are… troubling, hilarious, and statistically unsound. 🎉 It’s been 18 years of world events, weird news, and questionable analysis — and somehow we’re still here. 🎧 Support The Bugle!
