Summary

This week, Andy is joined by special guest John Oliver for a very special reunion episode of The Bugle.


πŸ›οΈ From the White House: The latest updates from the most powerful building in the world β€” still home to confusion, scandal, and policy made via impulse tweet.

🎨 The Louvre Heist: Art! Intrigue! Security guards on lunch! We break down the most stylish theft of the year and ask the big question: if you steal art ironically, does it count?

πŸ“» Bugle Nostalgia: Andy and John take a stroll down Bugle memory lane, reminiscing about the early days of international nonsense, awkward satire, and moments that aged about as well as a banana in the sun.


Expect high-brow theft, low-brow politics, and top-tier Bugle chemistry.


Bugle Christmas Jumpers/Sweaters are now on sale - this is a one time thing: thebuglepodcast.com


Produced by Chris Skinner and Laura Turner.


Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
