Andy is a thoughtful, hilarious comedian and social commentator, and this podcast is a monthly informal chat (almost one way, admittedly) with him at his most relaxed. Absolutely hilarious.
Offbeat, wacky fun

I’m a big fan of Andy Zaltzman, host of The Bugle and the BBC’s News Quiz, so it’s not surprising that I enjoy this show. The format is simple: Andy answers listeners’ questions put to him via the shows producer, Chris. I know that sound boring but if you are amused by silly irony, word play, and slightly insights into the varied topics thrown at him each month, you’ll love this!
