| 0:00.0 | Hello, Buglers and welcome to the first Bugle of 2021, a year that will surely see at least |
| 0:07.5 | some of the following things happen. The end of the Trump presidency, the first one at least, |
| 0:12.6 | maybe also the second, the re-legalisation of films that are not sequels or spin-offs, |
| 0:17.3 | an Olympics, the first Olympics to take place in an odd number of years since at least 393 AD. |
| 0:24.3 | Interesting to see how much difference that makes to the medals table at the end. We could see |
| 0:28.0 | more medals won by athletes born in odd numbered years, which might prove something or other. |
| 0:33.2 | We could see this year the resignation of the Covid virus, either in humiliating retreat at |
| 0:38.5 | having been vaccinated, shirtless, or having simply achieved all its career goals as a virus, |
| 0:43.3 | or through having had enough of Boris Johnson's stupid smoking face. And we will almost certainly |
| 0:48.8 | also see the full resumption of the British Empire. The planet is back people. 2020 has been consigned |

| 1:05.9 | this year here on the Bugle official podcast of record for the human race. And to begin with, |
| 1:11.7 | I'm joined to a finish off the bits left over from our review of 2020 show and be review 2021 |
| 1:19.9 | so far. Three in a bit days in to begin the beautiful year. I am joined for two purposes, |
| 1:26.0 | a to finish off the bits left over from our review of 2020 show and b to review 2021 so far |
| 1:32.2 | all three in a bit stroke for days of it depending on where you are in the world. By Alice Fraser, |
| 1:38.0 | who essentially lived through 2020s simultaneously via the last post and the real world. Alice, |
| 1:45.7 | I mean that's a shit year to do twice in one go, wasn't it? I mean, yes, Andy, except I played |
| 1:52.8 | them off against each other like the red robot and the blue robot and the rock and sock and robots. |
| 1:57.6 | And they sort of cancelled each other out. And I'm also joined by our fellow veteran of the review |
| 2:07.1 | of 2020 show from a few days ago. And my fellow Brit reveling in our new fangle found cosmic Brexit |
