One of the worst thing about the extended break is how we've missed hearing them talk about Berlusconi calling Italy a "lovely country".

Fianlly! A fesh 'gle! You know it's been too long when they've run out of offcuts to use.
Though the opening minutes make me feel churlish for being impatient.

I'm pretty worried about that because Andy Zaltzman sounds nervous in recordings for The Now Show, which is a radio show recorded in front of 50 people, who knows what'll happen in front of a much larger audience. Although he held up in front of a similar crowd on Oliver's special, so I don't know.
Another BBC Zaltzman fact: for a show called 30 Acts in 30 Minutes, which is basically speed dating for stand-up, Andy did the Queen Victoria joke and did not get half-way through.

The bit after Andy's spurting about the Harlequin's winning the rugby? It's just John's last line ("Rugby was the winner Andy, Rugby and the 'Quins") repeated with some other effects on top. I think it's meant to evoke a cassette tape as you're ejecting it. Anyway some wanky transition Chris put in because apparently there weren't enough swears to keep him busy.

To people who've watched Political Animal, is it just like the Bugle? And is there a way to hear it?

Political Animal is a live show where Andy comperes a gaggle of political comics. A while back it had a Radio 4 show where in-studio John and Andy threw to clips recorded from the live version. The in-studio bits took the form of a condensed and bizarre story (only example I remember is their being shot out of a cannon at a swan), which had a very different energy to the Bugle as it was more tightly scripted and produced, rather than just two friends chatting. There are no legitimate ways to listen to that now, though 4 Extra could maybe might possibly replay it eventually. The live show might be recorded on a phone and uploaded to youtube, but nothing beyond that.

I hate the opening sting on every Bugle. Deafens me every time.

This week's bonusode reveals that John thinks that T.S. Eliot wrote The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

Andy Zaltzman is a team captain on Rory Bremner's One Question Quiz, a scripted satire in the form of a quiz show. I think it's quite good and on the second episode he does the analogy of the testicles and the George Foreman Grill, which is always good to hear.

Anyone who objects to the transformation of a comedy podcast into art can go gently caress off.
VVV Yes, Chris. VVV

I've always assumed the subscription number was 0 and they just kept on out of hope, habit and John's income and that of Andy's wife.

i was trying to think back to when I heard a weirder ad on a podcast and then I remembered years ago they were shilling historically accurate replica military helmets.
