Join Andy and Felicity as they obsess about people throwing and hitting a cricket ball around because whatever happens that’s way preferable than thinking about the actual world right now.

INTRODUCING | The Bugle Ashes Urncast
This 2021/2 Ashes series might be unbelieveable but it's not urnbelieveable.
However if you still want a podcast mix of comedy, cricket, Andy Zaltzman, Felicity Ward
and stats then do check out The Bugle Ashes Urncast available wherever you get your podcasts. -
S2 09 | England draw and Australia lose
A bonus Ashes 2019 souvenir containing Steve Smith, Ben Stokes, silly press conferences, stats, pregnancy anger and the last No Paine No Gain.
Thanks to all who listened and until next time, may the cricket be with you. -
S2 08 | Australia retain the Ashes
Felicity returns to the studio to celebrate Australia's victory and deliver an emphatic No Paine No Gain.
Trying to consol himself, Andy points out that Australia have retained the Ashes not won it.
And there's a bumper stat whack to pay homage to the great Steve Smith. -
S2 07 | In the Fourth Ashes Test it's Steve Smith v Ben Stokes
In a late substitution Felicity retired ill from the podcast field, so her Marnus Labuschagne is Declan Fay.
However from her sick bed she still brings you No Paine No Gaine and Sick Burns!
Andy is also joined by UK comedy legend Mark Steel to talk Ben Stokes, the return of Steve Smith and the best 1 not out in history. -
S2 06 | We owe Steve Smith an apology
Last episode Felicity offered various comedy ways to get Steve Smith out. One of them was to try and hurt him.
Jofra Archer clearly listens to the podcast and took this advice seriously.
We can only apologise by offering Nish Kumar, more Ashes sketches and a preview of the Leeds Test. -
S2 05 | How England will get Steve Smith out
The wonder of Steve Smith, Lord's Test preview, dodgy umpiring and Australian bush poetry references.
Andy and Felicity are back and together with Geoff Lemon they go through all of the above.
Customer Reviews
An Australian, a New Zealander, and an Englishman…
walk into a cricket comedy podcast. Currently pointing out the ludicrous of the 2019 World Cup. I can’t wait for the Ashes.
Everything you ever wanted but didn’t know you actually did
Cricket as it should be - funny, insightful, irreverent and full of meaningful and meaningless stats. Please do this every summer and winter! Ie. just do it all the time.
Finally a podcast treating cricket with the gravitas it deserves
Cricket is full of bull$€&t, it’s so nice to have some of the less sanctimonious but no less informative variety.
For those unfamiliar with his work, the comedic leanings of the least smurfy Bugler is an acquired taste. But it is well worth persevering through the initial pungent onslaught to get to the chewy nuggets of chuckle. I’m a long time listener, and this is some classic zalts. LOVING the co-hosts, can’t wait to hear more!
