    Adam doesn’t just do a podcast, he creates a vibe. Up+Adam is equal parts smart, funny, and surprising, with guests I didn’t know I needed to hear from until I did. It’s my go-to everyday and I don’t even live on the Central Coast even though I love to visit! I’m Up+Adam ♥️

Adam is the bomb!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Humanity Over Headlines: Reporting War at 25 Without Pretending to Understand It
Q: How did going to war change what home means to you?
Initially, I took home for granted. But after experiencing conflict, I realized that the ability to return home is a privilege many lack, emphasizing the value of every moment spent there.
Humanity Over Headlines: Reporting War at 25 Without Pretending to Understand It
Q: What's it like to show up to a war zone, Robert, not as a battle hardened reporter, but as a 25 year old dude with a backpack, a mic, and really no idea what you're about to walk into?
There's nothing that prepares you for it. I was playing beer pong on spring break just three years prior, and suddenly I was covering the invasion of Ukraine without knowing much about it.
How Far Is Too Far? Comedy, Cancel Culture, and Lenny Bruce at the Clark Center
Q: What can comedians today learn from Lenny Bruce's use of backlash?
Comedians should not prepare an act but rather be authentic and riff on current topics, as Lenny did, turning personal and societal challenges into material.
How Far Is Too Far? Comedy, Cancel Culture, and Lenny Bruce at the Clark Center
Q: What do you think we as artists, as audiences, have kind of forgotten about what it means to be brave in the creative space?
There's a low bar for creativity as many are taking the safe route to avoid offending anyone, making the art less impactful.
How Far Is Too Far? Comedy, Cancel Culture, and Lenny Bruce at the Clark Center
Q: If Lenny were alive today, what do you think he would like or dislike about the current state of comedy?
Lenny would likely be disappointed by the state of comedy today, feeling that while there has been progress, we've also regressed in some ways, especially with the rise of the cancel culture police.
