Customer Reviews
My favorite podcast
A couple of weeks ago Andy was hosting the news quiz and someone bailed on the panel, but Neil Delamere was on, and I was like that means more time for neil and andy, yes please. So excited to have neil on the buggle this week. They only had to share with one other bloke, and he was pretty good too. I love the buggle, it’s my favorite podcast. I really appreciate staying up to date with global humor, or at least those former British colonies. Would love to hear from one of the African colonies while you are at it. Great comedians with diverse liberal takes on the world. Andy is a genius. Thanks for doing it.
Hysterical. In a good way.
Laugh outloud lefty news satire. I can’t get enough. Wish they wouldn’t use the cu__ word so much (I know it’s British but it’s still so sexist) but otherwise love it.
Chris: Zaltzman@Steel&@BillMaher
Dear Chris,
I’ve listened to every episode in the archive—most twice. When are you going to book Zaltzman on Mark Steel’s podcast. & as the Scottish 2nd referendum approaches next year, when are you going to book him (& take Steel & Kumar with him) to “Real Time with BIll Maher.” Those casting producers can only be contacted by someone like me through twitter (which I don’t use). But they are accepting virtual interviews all the time now since Covid. They did John Oliver this year from NYC to LA. It’s past time that the best British satirist meet the best US satirist. You can try to get Fraser on there too, but I fear that she’s too smart for the US audience (think the rural parts of Australia).
Thanks,
Lit Crit PhD (Dr. R)
