Recorded live in Melbourne, this week’s Bugle is a full-throttle Rage Bait Special, with Andy Zaltzman joined by Lloyd Langford, Sami Shah, and Alice Fraser to chew through the year’s biggest stories with fury, confusion, and jokes of questionable legality.

🇦🇺 Australia: We confront the latest tragedies in Australia, and try (with limited success) to process them through satire, empathy, and yelling into the void.

🇺🇸 Trump News: Meanwhile, Donald Trump continues to do… whatever it is he’s doing now. We attempt to identify it, label it, and possibly quarantine it.

📁 Epstein: We dig a little deeper into what we do and don’t know — and why this story refuses to go away.

📆 And we rummage through some of the other best (and worst) stories of 2025, because there’s always more. Always. Angry, funny, cathartic — this is The Bugle doing what it does best, in front of a live Australian audience.

Recorded live in Brisbane, Australia, this week’s Bugle sees Andy Zaltzman joined on stage by Nish Kumar and Alice Fraser for a high-energy international tour of scandal, chaos, and cinematic derangement.

🇦🇺 Australia News: The country is rocked by the unthinkable — a Wiggles drug scandal. Plus, an Australian PM finally does something.

🇬🇧 UK Politics: Back in Britain, there’s fresh chaos and alleged racism in Westminster. Standards continue their long retreat into the sea (just off the coast of Clacton).

🇺🇸 Trump News: And in America, Donald Trump appears to be greenlighting movies. Yes, really. With Rush Hour 4 apparently on the table, Hollywood has reached a new constitutional crisis.

It's a Bugle live classic!
