The Bugle, audio newspaper for a visual world.

Hello, Bugleers, and welcome to issue 4,141 of the Bugle the World's Only and Arguably

Best Audio Newspaper for a Visual World. I am Andy Zoltzmann, as is self in the case

these days, at least in 1974. And I am in London. Not here with me this week is Chris,

instead of Chris, debuting in the producer's hammock this week is the Standing Chris, if

you are the Antichrist, Harriet, welcome to the Vueville. Also joining me in London this

week, no one. Both of my guests are in Not London to narrow it down from the many Not

London's out there. They are in Los Angeles, where unless things have changed radically,

it is a sunny, be breakfast time and see ridiculous. So please be upstanding wherever

you are listening to this. For Tiffany Stevenson and Jennifer Edmund.

Hello. Hi, we're just here because we thought the social isolation of LA would be safer

during a time of a pandemic. We're in the hills when no one can find us. How is America

coping with the impending death of humanity? How is it coping with something it can't

shoot? It's a bad question. You could shoot coronavirus, it wouldn't be effective, but

you can shoot anything. I know in Florida they did set up a Facebook

group to shoot Hurricane Irma. So I'm hoping that someone's going to suggest getting a

microscope and goddamn it glades, get those tiny bastards. It's quite, we're being

quietly terrified, I think, is you know, I'm just watching the news from here and seeing

that people are being quarantined in Shanghai, Shanghai is in lockdown, apparently in some

households, one person is allowed out once a day, which is kind of like my dream to be honest.

I did that yesterday because I had a hangover. But genuinely, apart from that, terrifying.

We will touch on this more later in the show. We are recording on the 14th of February and
