I am very curious about this little crescendo
Whenever I need perking up, I listen to these two clips, in this order:

Rory Albanese was on the most recent episode of Harmontown. He drank some fan-made absinthe and hoo boy, basically turned into The American.

Other Bugle connections: a brief mention of John's piece on transgender rights, and some really lovely puns.

I just listened to the latest Satarist for Hire about an hour ago, and I'm still giggling at the sheer audacity of the "El Greco roman rest link" pun. That's right up there with "cold and wet weaver". Andy's still got it!

I'd say that's mid-tier on the Zaltzman scale.

The puns are great, but his forced metaphors are equally preposterous. I've used the "like a German radiologist force-feeding his patients sausages before taking x-rays, we tend to see the wurst in people" line a couple times. Never fails to get a laugh.

They can't miss out on this. When a boy painted a massive penis on his parents house they were there to report it with the gravitas and maturity it deserved. The nation needs their services once again.

If John Oliver isn't available then at a minimum I hope Andy steps up with the pig-based pun run we all crave.

GodDAMMIT, Oliver & Zaltzman! The PM of the UK is allegedly a pigfucker. If you don't apply your unique brand of comedy to this, then how will we, the public, know how to react?

John returns and then Zaltzman filibusters him with a one hour long pun run, finally destroying their friendship forever.

I'd really be fine with Zaltzman doing a solo podcast of pun runs, but his Satirist for Hire shows aren't great.

The Satirist for Hire stuff was okay enough, but those clips from his book were borderline unlistenable. Andy plus anybody else, be it a co-host or an audience is fine. Andy left totally to his own devices is unbearable.

Andy with... Say, another British comedian and their producer, set to current events like the news, would probably be a good outlet for him.

Maybe he should try that sometime.

(I'd even take a different British comedian who hadn't made it, rather than John, if John is too busy.)

Just hotseat from the stable of stand-up comedians used for panel shows. It'll be entertaining, though perhaps not always in the way they would like.
