| No Kings, and Barely a Prince | 22 Oct 2025 | 00:44:04 | |
This week, Andy Zaltzman is joined by Tom Ballard and Ria Lina for another round of international nonsense. 👑 TOP STORY: Prince Andrew has officially been fired. We look at what happens when a royal loses his job — and his headed notepaper. 🇬🇧 OTHER UK NEWS: China has threatened the UK following the collapse of a major trial and some truly diplomatic chaos. But why are they targeting dweebs called Chris? And does this extend to The Bugle’s own producers? (We hope not, Chris.) 🇺🇸 US NEWS: No Kings! Americans are once again protesting monarchy — real, imagined, and symbolic. It’s a weird time to love liberty and hate coronations. 🤸 SPORTS NEWS: Indonesia has banned Israel from gymnastics competition, sparking debates that require some serious mental gymnastics to follow. 🎟️ Don’t miss The Bugle Live Stream!

| Can Russian AI get thrown out of Windows? | 15 Oct 2025 | 00:45:51 | |
This week, Andy Zaltzman is joined by Hari Kondabolu and Alice Fraser for another round of global absurdity and barely contained disbelief. 🕊️ We begin in the Middle East, where “peace” has apparently broken out — at least according to the press releases. But what’s Trump’s role in it all, and can a man who once tried to buy Greenland really solve millennia of conflict? 🤖 Then we dive into the weird world of AI, where influencer Tilly Norwood is reshaping tech headlines, ethics, and possibly humanity’s sanity. 🦁 In animal news, we meet pescatarian lions — proving that even apex predators can try a new diet (or are just really bad hunters). 👮♂️ And in South Korea, a holographic police officer is now on duty. Finally, a cop who can’t arrest you but can give you nightmares. 🎧 Support The Bugle!
