Andy Zaltzman

Next week, we will have Felicity Ward and Anuvab Pal.

Until then, goodbye.

Hello, I am Andy Zaltzman, as you may know.

The Bugle, as well as being the world's only ever longest-running and arguably best audio newspaper for a visual world, is one of the very few fully independent media empires remaining in this thus far very silly millennium.

Our voluntary subscribing listeners have made this possible, and you...

If you're not already one, can join them to keep our shows free, flourishing and independent for the rest of all eternity.

Disclaimer, eternity may not be completely eternal.

Get more of what you love, exclusive subscriber-only content, including the almost monthly Ask Andy show, in which I, Andy, answer your questions, plus fresh hits of Bugle merch.

We just sent our premium subscribers a jigsaw with my face on it.

If that doesn't sell it, nothing will.

I and my wonderful cohort of co-hosts will continue to blast the Bugle's trademark cocktail of satire, insight, puns, disinsight and unashamed high-grade drivel into your ears and all over the planet.

Here's to another 18 and a half years minimum.

The Bugle, audio newspaper for a visual world.

Hello, Buglers.

I am Andy Zaltzman.

This is Bugle issue 4378, sub-episode A, for at this very moment, the UK might be about to ditch yet another prime minister as it continues its headlong pursuit of full national failure, but we'll be back with a full episode next week to try to make sense of it all.

For this week's sub-episode, we have some choice satirical ramblings and rumblings saved up from the last few weeks.

In our first bonus clip,

Hewn from the last few days of the little-missed month of April 2026, I was joined by Nish Kumar and Alice Fraser, and we discussed the White House Correspondents' Dinner that thankfully did not end up how it might have ended up.
