The Escape Pod: The Bugle



Another Week another Podcast review. This week I look at the highly acclaimed audio newspaper that is 'The Bugle'. A weekly podcast covering the week that was in international politics and world issues. Hosted by British Comedian Andy Zeitsman and the Daily Show's John Oliver (And of course Prof Ian Duncan from Community). The Bugle is a long running satirical podcast where John and Andy whilst under the careful supervision of their producer Chris, who is constantly berated but also runs marathons.

You should listen to this damn podcast. It is the benchmark when it comes to political commentary and satire. Andy's made up history lessons combined with John's careful and sarcastic scutiny no major world event will go unnoticed without a thorough dress down from the Bugle. The amoral compass to society and life in general.

While it is hard to say which one of their near 200 podcast episodes is their best I'd have to recommend one of their latest episodes #190. Andy's rant about the founding father of America George Washington would be spinning in his grave if he saw what the American political system has become. Andy then put the amazing image of George Washington flying around yelling at Democrats and Republicans screaming. "This wasn't the way it was supposed to go, RAWR GEORGEY MAD!!!"
