The Bugle, audio newspaper for a visual world.

Hello Buglers and welcome to issue 4,300 of the Bugle, the world's leading and still only

audio newspaper for a visual world.

I'm Andy's Altzman ramming this metaphorical megorship of a podcast into the nearest available

iceberg for the 300th time since we refloated it back in October 2016.

300 bugles since relaunch.

All told I think we're now heading towards 400 hours of content over the entire history of the bugles so we just

need to do that another 24 times and we'll hit the crucial 10,000 hours mark and that's when it will

start getting good today is the 19th of April 2024 I'm here in the

shed of uncontrollable veracity in South London the city where the streets are

famously paved with gold according to the story of the famous 14th century cat fetishist

London Mayor Dick Whittington or at least according to the daily terror

well they were paved with gold until Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan took over as

London mayor and replaced all the gold with supposedly carbon neutral

ethical paving slabs made up at the mulched up dreams of true Britannians and if you don't think the streets of London

were at one point paved with gold you're unpatriotic and you're

rewriting history, so I hope you're all proud of yourselves.

Still coming for that telegraph column mill, come from me one day.

Yeah, this is issue 4,300.

As I said, 300 episodes since this podcast came back from the dead.

Bit of a Jewish trend, that we can't really help it as God's chosen people.

But anyway, joining me, the man who was there at the very re-begin back in October 2016 when this world was a simpler place
