The Bugle, audio newspaper for a visual world.

Hello Bugleers, welcome to issue 4,277 of The Bugle, a show which has now been toothling

merrily into your pod brains for exactly 16 years, this week 16 years of pure, unadulterated

half truths from me and his ultimate and you're evolving, revolving cast of guest co-hosts

and on this truly historic occasion it gives me great pleasure to welcome as my co-host

this week as we begin the 17th year of this unremittingly, journalistically integrated

pure blast newscast to people who 16 years ago by the happiest of coincidences were also

just like this show, more than a decade and a half younger than they are now.

Firstly, in a desperate effort to promote some tour dates next year and shift some tickets

to our film it's Taylor Swift, sorry I'm just hearing that Taylor, named after Snookle

player Dennis of course, can't make it stuck in traffic, she's said she'd been working

on some sensational Middle East based puns but luckily we have the nearest like for

like replacement available in global showbiz, so joining us from Kolkata, it's India's

Taylor Swift himself, Anivab pal, hello Anivab, how are you?

I'm very good Andy, I'm about to embark on my e-rast tour, numbers are supposed to

be spectacular and until a Swift in her tour caused an earthquake, I planned to cause

an earthquake as well, but just for very different reasons that I haven't established it.

Also joining us from Melbourne, Australia, welcome back to Sami Shah, welcome back to

the Beagle, Sami.

Thank you very much, I consider myself more of a Rihanna than a Taylor Swift, but you know

whatever.

Well, we are appealing to pretty much 100% of humanity with this point.
