I recently discovered a podcast that's very much in the vein of The Bugle, even having Helen Zaltzman guest on it sometimes: The Beef and Dairy Network Podcast It's sort of like Welcome to Nightvale only instead of being set in a universe where spooky weirdness happens, it's merely an alternate reality where cows are slightly more important than they are here. Also, unlike Welcome to Nightvale, Beef and Dairy Network realizes that in order to properly parody radio news broadcasts you need to be able to do a proper radio newscaster voice.

I love the Beef & Dairy Network--It's also rarely more than thirty minutes long which for something like this is really good. Keeps it tight and it doesn't wear out its welcome. The humor is absurd and deadpan and a welcome treat when I find it in my queue every...I think twice a month now? It even has a few ongoing "storylines".

Nish on this season of Taskmaster is killing it.

Alice is really really good as is Nish. To be honest most of the sub hosts are pretty loving good. Also gently caress you Chris.

I need to set up a Taskmaster thread in TVIV. Nish's complete failures on that show are the stuff of legends.

John's HBO show goes on break, and just a few days later, this happens: http://edition.cnn.com/2017/11/17/p...ampaign_id=A100quote:Washington (CNN) In case there was any doubt, the US Navy has confirmed that there is "zero training value" in drawing penises in the sky. I think it's a sign that it is time for a triumphant return.

Gosh, this thread got dusty. The Bugle continues on with a solid cadre of co-hosts. I don't think that comparing the current show to the old show is merited or useful-- while the double act had an obvious great vibe to it, the rotating co-hosts adds a freshness and variety to the show. I think they're both great. I'm bringing the thread back because the Guardian had an article on double-acts that split, and Andy and John are part of it. Here's their excerpt: quote:Whether due to rifts cleaved in the writers’ room, or secret ambitions, often one member of a double act begins to work on side projects. When someone is lured away by a career in Hollywood (Joe Cornish, who worked with Adam Buxton as Adam and Joe), or a hosting gig on TV, the jilted comic can feel a triple death: of a partnership, a brand, even a future. The full article is a pretty interesting read as well, and includes a picture of Andy sticking his head out through a golden curtain.

Great read, thanks for that! Nish was a guest on the London episode of Lovett or Leave It and did a great job. Evidently he'd been at a previous show and somehow volunteered to be on the panel. Which had to be an interesting conversation!

Every episode with Alice on it is an absolute delight. I mean they're all delights, but especially delightful.

There’s a slightly nervous air from Andy, not knowing what will happen. Like you have your sibling with you and aren’t quite sure what they’re about to dredge up.

Andy was on The New Quiz this week, thought I should say as he'll probably forget to promote himself on The Bugle. That's The Radio 4 Friday Night Comedy Podcast if you didn't know, sorry for when The Now Show appears in your feed.

For some reason I didn't picture Nish looking like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMfStd3v330 (I just more or less wanted to show this bit which is pretty funny) Also, didn't know that Nish did the UK Daily Show?

The Chinese leadership pun run caught me by surprise. My thought process while listening: "Wait... What is happening no he surely cannot, no... OMG he just did a pun about Deng Xiaoping"

Is there even any way to see Taskmaster in the states? I hear about it a bunch but I've never seen any of it.

Comedy Central have picked up the format and a US version is forthcoming (taped in July apparently) so maybe will have US distribution rights on the UK version? I expect the UKTV player ("Dave" is the UK station the show is on and part of UKTV) website is geoblocked but no harm in trying. Not strictly true as they could have seen any of series 1-4 and not seen Nish. Still good advice.

Andy was on the News Quiz this week, so you might want to pick up the podcast.

I went to the Portland show of the Bugle last week, with guest hosts Helen Zaltman, Martin the Soundman as guest Chris, and Alice Fraser via videolink from Tokyo. Great show, though the highlight for me might have been when Andy's free trial of Zoom.us died in the middle of the show. So Alice was talking and a giant warning came up that the meeting was about to end. He had to call her back, but not before she'd run off to go get a beverage. There was also a bit of Q&A at the end, which was nice. Some exceedingly deep cut references from Bugle listeners, too. (One referenced the town the Bugle had declared war on back in like episode 22 or so.)
