Hello Bugleers, welcome to the Bugle Live online parts of the Unmute Podcast Festival.

0:22.0

How are you all? Good, we can't hear you, so I assume you just all responded.

0:28.0

We are at Best Atticure, it is the year 2020 after all.

0:32.0

Internship just some breaking news coming through. The bookies are already paying out

0:36.0

on 2020 winning rubbishest year of the decade award.

0:40.0

And still nine years and two months to go and at least four of those years could be under President Ivanka Trump.

0:45.0

So that shows you what a terrible year.

0:48.0

It's been I am Andy Zoltzman if you haven't met me before. It's 24th of October 2020 this show will also

double up as Bugle issue 4171. I hope if any of you unfamiliar with the Bugle, what are you doing here?

1:06.0

Welcome to those of you who've heard it before. We are up against strictly come dancing. I realise that.

It's going to be dancing with, wait for it, another woman. Now this is rocked British society to its foundation skeptics saying where will it end?

2:04.0

Well it'll probably end with a more tolerant and open minded society. But what if it doesn't end there? Says Britain. What if it ends with compulsory homosexuality classes in all schools?

2:14.0

But it will almost certainly not go quite that far. So anyway, thank you for not watching the social revolution that is unfolding on strictly.

2:22.0

And instead coming to the bugle for those of you unfamiliar with it, the bugle is so called because it's a cross between doogle the dog character from the hit Children's TV series The Magic Roundabout and The Bible.

2:34.0

That's where the name comes from. But anyway, joining me for this special live show and it's great pleasure to be part of the unmute festival.
