Hello, buglers, and welcome to... The Bugle, audio newspaper for a visual world.

Hello, buglers, and welcome to issue 4,370 of the world's leading and only audio newspaper for a visual world.

I am Andy Zaltzman in the shed of immutable truth.

And, well, let's be honest,

this is another one of those weeks in which if you happen to have a friend or relative

who chose to be cry genetically frozen in the year 1999

due to fears about the millennium bug,

I'll remember when that was the big worry facing humanity,

happier, simpler times,

and asked me woken up on March 26, but you misheard them as saying in March 26, instead

of on March 26th, anyway, they should have said 26th of March, if I meant 26th of March

2000.

The point is, if you've got a deeply frozen relative who you are just waking up now, 26 years into this millennium, good luck explaining the state of the world to your still de-frosting buddy or family member. They might need at least two cups of tea. But that is what the bugle is for. In fact, that's why we were originally commissioned by Times Online. Andy, John, they said, we need something to play in case, and this is a purely hypothetical scenario, the boss man ever wakes up from the freezer. There's obviously no truth in the rumor that there's been a body double playing him since the millennium. So, anyway, that's what we're here for. We're here to help explain the world to A, you, be ourselves. See anyone on the same train carriage as you whilst you play the bugle out loud on your phone speakers look ultra cool. D, your pupils, in case you're one of those bugle listening teachers, it just wax the show in the classroom when you want to properly educate your students and or can't be asked to tell them how stick in essence reproduce or why the war of Spanish succession has started, or why X is actually a number, if you say it's a number, or where the swimming pool is in French, or E, your aforementioned unfreezing fed. Where did this sentence begin? Oh, yeah, here to explain everything. I'm joined in this age of hyper and exaggeration by two of the wisest people in the history of the known universe. Ria Lina and Anuvab Powell. Hello, both of you. That is a lot of pressure that we're going to be here to explain everything.

Yeah.

I feel a lot of pressure.

Like, okay, all right.

I mean, can I explain it the way Trump explains stuff,

i.e. just make stuff up and decide it on a whim?

That's sort of how the show works.

In many ways, we set a very dangerous blueprint for the world through that.
