About this episode

The episode explores various perceptions of leadership through humor and commentary.

Welcome to Top Stories, we’re heading back all the way to issue 129, where Andy and John Oliver ponder what you think of when you think of leadership, is it a brave blooded Terry Butcher, narcissist Kim Jong Il, or an Eastern European with a scar on his face stroking a hairless cat? Well, one of them has appointed their successor.  Enjoy that? Why not subscribe to the Bugle now through our voluntary donation scheme at the bugle podcast dot com Hosted on Acast.
