What listeners will find here
The Bugle takes on bungled terror plots, AI Garbo, and moth mania
Failed terrorist plots, an AI revival of Greta Garbo, European protests, and UK political chaos all get the Bugle treatment this week. Andy Zaltzman is joined by Alice Fraser and Anuvab Pal for a wide-ranging satire that also finds room for Bogong moths and Manchester City.
Trump, Xi, hacked AI, and a football bombshell collide in The Bugle
Donald Trump’s meetings with world leaders drive this episode, from Xi to Burnham, alongside threats toward Iran and a joke-worthy bid to rename the Strait of Hormuz. It also swings through AI hacking chaos and a Manchester City verdict with Andy Zaltzman, Josh Gondelman, and Catherine Bohart.
Australia, space weapons, and a portable baptistery: The Bugle goes global and absurd
Australia’s supposed path toward Europe leads this Bugle episode, with Nish Kumar and Tom Ballard joining Andy Zaltzman for a run through space militarisation, pop-star controversy, AI poetry, and a particularly odd church dispute. It looks like a wide-ranging, fast-moving mix of politics, culture, tech, and religion news.
AI Armageddon, Trump in Ireland, and a failed Renoir heist collide
Humanity is Doomed throws Andy Zaltzman, Nish Kumar, and Sara Barron into AI-fueled apocalypse talk, Trump’s Ireland trip, and a bungled art theft in France. It sounds like a fast, chaotic Bugle mix of politics, absurdity, and side-feuds.
White House arcade chaos, vanishing islands, and a fraying Bayeux Tapestry
White House arcade games lead this Bugle episode, with Andy Zaltzman joined by Helen Zaltzman and Anuvab Pal. The conversation also ranges through generative AI in Quebec courts, a disappearing island in British Columbia, and quick-hit updates on tuk-tuks, flags, and the Bayeux Tapestry.
