The Bugle, audio Bugle is and welcome to issue 4,312 of the Bugle, the world's leading

and only audio newspaper for a world which whilst at least 99.94% visual

still can't actually see what it has become.

I'm Andy's Altman and on today's show amongst the infinite number of things we will not be talking about,

we'll be steering clear of the history of tablecloths great controversies in 1930s

motorcycling whether the Bible contains hidden messages revealing that rollerblades were invented in Babylon in

628 BC, Leonardo da da Vinci's characteristically avant-garde plans for an inflatable

helium-filled bouncy castle that could float around Italy for both military and recreational purposes

and the musculoskeletal structure of the snotavarian tree lobster.

But still plenty of other stuff to talk about with my two wonderful guests returning to the bugle from here in London Tiffany

Stevenson.

Hello Tiff, how are you?

Hello, hi, for my sweltering little book nook, not a euphemism. Family show.

Yeah, it's been a pretty damp cold summer.

So can we use the term summer? Yeah, but it is currently a little bit

loosely. I will not complain actually about this because I've been complaining about the lack of

sunshine. So the fact that we have anything

even vaguely resembling heat is very pleasing to me this is the weather I thrive in

I thrive in this kind of I grow it's there's a lot of growth for me in this I'm like mold.

Joining us from all the way over there and I'm pointing towards the west coast of the

USA in the city where Summer Never Sleeps, Los Angeles.

Welcome to the Bugle for the very first time, Jackie Kacian.
