Hello, I am Andy Zaltzman, as you may know. The Bugle, as well as being the world's only ever longest running and arguably best audio newspaper for a visual world, is one of the very few fully independent media empires remaining in this thus far very silly millennium. Our voluntary subscribing listeners have made this possible, and you, if you are not already one, can join them to keep our shows free, flourishing, and independent for the rest of all eternity. Disclaimer, eternity may not be completely eternal. Get more of what you love, exclusive subscriber-only content, including the almost monthly Ask Andy show, in which I, Andy, answer your questions, plus fresh hits of Bugle merch. We just sent our premium subscribers a jigsaw with my face on it. If that doesn't sell it, nothing will. I and my wonderful cohort of co-hosts will continue to blast The Bugle's trademark cocktail of satire, insight, puns, disinsight, and unashamed high-grade drivel into your ears and all over the planet. Here's to another 18 and a half years minimum. To become a true hero or just to join the voluntary subscription scheme, go to thebuglepodcast.com and click the Donate button.
