The Bugle, audio newspaper for a visual world.

Hello, Bugleers! It's what a clock. Bugle a clock. That's not an officially recognized time zone, but then what is time?

What is the pain in the air? That's what my least favorite dimension. Anyway, it is what it is. Although what is it and when? I digress. This is the Bugle.

It's issue 4,130 on the 15th of November the 15th 2019. Now I did the dates, both British and American ways there in one because one of our guests only understands it.

All the way from the studio in New York, it's Harry Condabalu. I wasn't sure if you were talking about me or Alice.

No, we do the dates the proper time because of colonialism.

Well, colonialism, they have the courage to stick with, not like you, like 18th century splitters.

We wanted to do the pillaging ourselves. By ourselves, I mean the way people that were here, I think my people were doing something with rice, probably.

I guess we should take that as a compliment. Flattery is the...

What's the worst thing about flattery? It's been a long week. Also joining us from the future.

Later this evening in the Southern Hemisphere, but don't worry, we're playing the recording of Herbits of the show backwards so the words flow into your ear holes the right way around.

Alice Fraser.

Hello, Andy. Hello, Harry. I feel like I was interacting too early in this engagement. So people wouldn't have known who was speaking.

And you always was just a mystery voice.

You're in Sydney. I am in Sydney.

How's the rest of the day gone? It has been long. I've already done a satirical news comedy show today.

There was so much news in my head and so few jokes, Andy.

We are recording on the 15th of November by the time you listen to or audio read this with your ears.

It will be at the very least the 16th of November, which is international tolerance day.

So if you have any particular urgent bits of bigotry you need to get off your chest, please save them until Sunday the 17th.

Then you have another three hundred and six, you call them days.

The 17th of November is of course the anniversary of one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century in terms of sports broadcasting at least.
