The Bugle, audio newspaper for a visual world.

Hello, Bugleers and welcome to issue 4,230 of the Bugle, the audio newspaper which has

now chronicle over one-seventieth of this millennium.

That is the most we've ever done of a millennium, we hovered around the 070th in all previous millennia,

so a definite step up.

I'm Andy Zoltzmann, it's the 16th of May 2022 here as we record, whereas you, yes, you

stop whatever you're doing and pay attention, especially if you're doing, honestly, sometimes

I wish we couldn't hear what you bugleers are doing when you listen to the show through

the special customer research software we used to know exactly how to picture and choose

the marketing company.

Anyway, whereas you will be listening on a date between 1 and 365 billion days from now,

we have a 1 billion year limitation on this episode, so don't leave it too late if you

haven't listened to it yet.

Joining me this week from just up the road in South London, it's Nish Kumar and from just

down a tunnel drilled directly through the Earth's core from South London and out the other

side and then about a 1,500 mile swim to Tasmania, it's Tom Ballard.

Hello, both of you, are you?

Hello, Andy.

Hello, Bieglers.

Look at us.

Yeah, how's Tasmania?

It is beautiful, it's very cold.
