Customer Reviews
Dear the bugle
I miss the American, the cryptic crossword (I was the one who wrote in about an error in it, which Andy felt was harsh, sorry), hotties from history, and especially amazing listener submitted emails and remixes and musical compositions. What talent from the listenership! Will Indy’s “Am Kaftan Flapper” will always ring in my head along with John Oliver’s “It’s like a Lewis Carroll nonsense poem.” Chavez and Berlusconi gave the Bugle so much hogwash fodder. I actually learned about the world and current events in my twenties through your podcast because you fed it in s way that was memorable, engaging, and silly. It hit the spot. Keep it up.
Punny
My poor husband knows when I’ve gotten behind & then catch up on The Bugle because puns WILL slip out. Be warned of this known adverse reaction.
Best show ever!
Love the satire and wordplay. Andy is a GENIUS!
