The Bugle, audio newspaper for a visual world.

Hello, Bugleers, and welcome to another special sub-bugle to celebrate 15 years of the world's

leading and only audio newspaper for a visual world.

In this episode I'll be talking with the person with whom I shared the Bugle verse for eight years and almost 300 full episodes of this audio newspaper.

The one and only John Oliver. Hello John.

Hello Andy. Hello Bugleers.

It wasn't honourable to share the bugle with you for eight years, and it was like being on an international space station.

But on the ground and in two different countries. Honestly that metaphor fell apart instantly.

But it's still one of the most moving things anyone's ever said to me.

It was just a sense of being in a very confined space.

Just the remorseless futility and claustrophobia.

Yeah, the kind of aggressive silence occasionally.

That made you feel like you were truly alone in the universe.

It's a glorious eight years.

I think that that probably mirrored the aggressive silence we had at, for example, our Ed and the Preview in York.

I believe so.

I think I've had a lasting appreciation for the different kinds of silence due to the work that we were able to do live together.

I think we can always tell this is an interested audience.

This is an apathetic audience.

This is a very angry audience which is about to vocalise it.

And in the case, I believe you had three all three happening at once in different, on different tables in York, I think.

And I'm, I'm forget to believe course the space in Docklands.
