  • The real Richie
    Recycling Has Never Been Funnier
    Longtime listener, occasional commenter. I am enjoying revisits to older stories that no longer hit so hard, allowing me to laugh even harder at the mental plight of my past self who had to deal with his garbage world in the annoyingly linear present. Also endearing to hear John Oliver’s velvet intonements again. I don’t know where he ended up after The Leaving but wherever it is I hope he’s finding a way to laugh again.

    It's Wonderful!!
    It's not wonderful *only* because John Oliver is on a lot of them, but he *is*! As a latecomer to The Bugle, I'm so happy to have this look back at past highlights! ❤️❤️❤️

    Happilly dissociated helth worker
    Thanks from all us ADHD intellectuals looking for a dopamine hit but also DON’T want to forget how we got here to this *pick your unpleasant scenario*scape as a world...Mostly to our detriment, but we’ll go out happily cackling, thanks to this.
  • friendxo
    Makes me grateful that the buggle doesn’t have any ads!
    The buggle is my favorite podcast. Nice to get a little more andy. I even listen to the cricket now. He is brilliant and finds great talent, even that guy from last geek tonight.
