Summary
It's the weekend, right? You may not have had time in your working week for a daily dose of A-grade satire but don't worry - you can hear the highlights right here, then go back and listen to the full episodes and ignore your families.
This week saw double appearances by Nish Kumar - from Public Takedown highlights on Monday, to Pyramid Schemes on Friday - and Nato Green, who covered US then Venezuelan politics on Tuesday and Thursday. Charlie George brought some meaty paranormal news to the sandwich on Wednesday.
And finally, we bring you the best of the stupid letters you insist on writing in to the editor, so stick around for some kind words from your beloved editor and host Alice Fraser.
This is a Bugle Podcasts production.
This episode was produced by Ped Hunter and Chris Skinner.
