Oh hello, strangers. I'm Alice Fraser, your guide to the galaxies, goblins, dungeons and dystopias.

We'll be hurling ourselves into a weekly hero's journey through realms unknown into the dark but sensual heart of all our favourite speculative fictions.

We'll navigate the wild realms created by brilliant authors, filmmakers, game designers and more.

New episodes drop every week on your podcast app or on YouTube.

Do not resist the call to adventure chosen one.

Join me for Realms Unknown.

The Bugle Audio newspaper for a visual world

Hello buglers and welcome to

Bugal issue 4,330 sub-episode A for a week off

to allow the world some time to calm down and come to its senses starting now.

Also, we're taking the week off because all of our AI projections and technology suggested that

if we did record a bugle this week, it would just be 40 minutes of whimpering, screaming and occasional barking like a dog.

Such is the world. Instead, we have a bugle sub-episode with various choice morsels from

the bugleverse. Before we get into it, a quick plug for our bugle voluntary subscription scheme. Go to

the buglepodcast.com to find out more. We only exist because you, buglers, make it happen.

Please do continue support doing what we do and helping keep our show free, flourishing

and independent as we head towards the Bugle's 18th birthday. Later on, you'll be hearing a bit from

Alice Fraser's excellent new podcast, Realms Unknown, in which Alice takes the bugle universe

into the worlds of sci-fi and fantasy. You can also buy her book, A Passion for Passion.

The link is in the show notes, which I'm very reliably informed, you can quite easily find.

We will also be dipping into a moment from the bugle past, and what a moment that is,

but firstly let's start from something more recent, some boat news.
