The Bugle, audio newspaper for a visual world!

Hello Bugleers and welcome to issue 4266 of the Bugle, the world's foremost audio refuge

from reality. I am Andy Zoltzman and today is the 5th of June 2023 and if I'm not very

much mistaken, this is the day on which in exactly 20 seconds time the planet will be struck

and destroyed by a giant asteroid shaped like a golf ball thought to emanate from a shank

drive in a distant galaxy during a game between Roman No. 1 ranked god Jupiter and a local

deity. The asteroid has taken around 1800 years to get here, that's when the game took place,

we assume Jupiter lost because we would never quite the same again and faded from prominence

thereafter and it should be hitting us about 3, 2, 1, now!

Oh well it turns out I was very much mistaken, oh well that's never nice to be proved wrong,

but it does however clear the path for me to record another issue of the Bugle of my two guests

today. Firstly, representing the entire continent of Asia and everyone and everything who lives there

comes from there, has any ancestral link to their once or a tv documentary about Asia or even just

occasionally thinks about it from Mumbai, it's Anuva Pal, hello Anuva Pal how are you?

Hello Andy, hello I am well, it just touched 42 degrees in Mumbai right now and this might be

shocking but there are actually no people on the streets of India because it's so hot, it's

about 5 in the evening here, when I say no people I mean we're down to the last million people,

there's still a few million people on your streets do you mean?

My street, correct, correct, so yeah that's been happening and very quickly I should also mention

that last week India got a new parliament, you guys had left one behind a while ago and finally

they decided that we should build one of our own, right? We talked about this in our BBC

so isn't it with the space based on an Xbox controller, isn't it?
