  • Iran bans puppies, and other stories from the Middle East
    Jun 17 2025

    🎧 Support The Bugle! Get bonus episodes, exclusive videos, and the smug self-righteousness of a Team Bugle subscription at thebuglepodcast.com


    This week, Andy Zaltzman is joined by Tiff Stevenson and Tom Ballard to untangle a world that's somehow too serious and too stupid—often at the same time.


    🔥 Top Story: Iran & Israel — tensions escalate, missiles fly, and peace remains as elusive as a rational online comment section.

    🐕 Also in Iran: forget cats with attitude—dog walking is now banned. We unpack the leash-tightening madness.

    ☀️ Meanwhile, the summer solstice brings light and… an AUKUS defence deal? Yes, nothing says sunshine like submarines.

    🎺 And in the USA, Trump’s latest parade blares its way through logic and decency—again.


    💬 Expect sharp satire, international nonsense, and at least one excellent pun.

    Produced by Chris Skinner and Laura Turner. And Chris's dog Daphne.
