NYTimes piece on The Bugle, the fab podcast from Andy Zaltzman and John Oliver. Highlight: The author translating the common emailed cry of “Fuck you, Chris” into “sending Mr. Skinner e-mail and Twitter messages telling him off”.
Twice-weekly podcast of themed collections of cover versions of songs. HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS SOONER?
Things that are ace about it: 1) The whole songs are played without being talked over. 2) Even if you don’t know the originals, you get a mixed bag of styles of music, and will discover new artists 3) The iTunes version syncs program notes and artwork to your iPhone and uses chapters so you can skip dreadful songs. In summary: AMAZINGNESS!
