But how long before the wave meets the usual breakwater of bureaucracy?🎙️ Trump vs the BBC: In a glorious meltdown that will echo through press rooms for decades, Donald Trump loses it live on air. Andy brings us a world-exclusive “interview” with The Don himself — because if you can’t get him in person, you can always get him in parody.🔥 The End of the World (Slowly): Climate, conflict, capitalism — the apocalypse is on layaway, but it’s still coming.

• Space Junk, Big Trains & Hot Potatoes - Bugle 4359

  The Bugle turns 18 — and we’re not done celebrating yet! In Part 2 of our birthday special, Andy Zaltzman is joined by Alice Fraser and Nish Kumar to take a sideways look at some of the week’s more alternative headlines.🚆 UK News: Double-decker trains could be coming to Britain — but is it a great leap forward, or just a taller disaster waiting to happen?🛰️ Australian News: Space junk keeps falling from the sky. Should we be worried, or is this just nature’s way of redecorating the Outback?📚 Online News: Wikipedia turns out to be even stranger than you remember — and possibly more reliable than your uncle’s Facebook feed.🥔 Bugle Hot Potato: Producer Chris Skinner finally reveals the results of our first-ever Bugle audience survey, and the findings are… troubling, hilarious, and statistically unsound.🎉 It’s been 18 years of world events, weird news, and questionable analysis — and somehow we’re still here.🎧 Support The Bugle!
