The Bugle, audio newspaper for a visual world.

Welcome to edition 5 of the Bugle audio newspaper for the week beginning Tuesday the 13th

of November.

The Bugle of course is usually available at the start of the week on a Monday, but this

week actually begins on Tuesday.

It's something through the lunar cycle, happens about once every 17 years.

This week will also end slightly later than normal at 4am next Monday.

I'm Andy Zoltzmann in London and in New York City, USA, John Oliver.

John, how is the writer's strike going?

So are you able to do the show this week?

Well, that's Izzar relief in order not to break the picket line, all of John's words

this week have been written by Zambian child.

That Zambian child has been working his behind off.

I can either talk with his words or through Moscow.

The best counterattack from production companies at the moment to this right strike has been

regarding flushing the toilet so that you don't pay a plumber every time you flush

the toilet.

Let's say that your plumber had fixed it so that every time you flushed your toilet a hundred

pounds can flying out the top of it.

I think that plumber would be entitled to five pence of that.

It's time you flush.

That's all I'll say about this strike.
