  • Awesome

    I love every episode. Always interesting. Great jingles. The Bowie specials really helped. I loved the Bowie cover by Gaz Coombes.

    Adam seems a genuinely lovely bloke, I'd happily pay for a daily podcast.

    Update. We saw The Adam Buxton Band last night in Leicester fantastic band and Adam was brilliant. Love to say hi after the gig.

  • I tend to disagree

    Love the podcast. Yes some are obviously better than others. Damon Albarn has a reputation for being a difficult interviewee and I think Adam manages to get him to be far more open and honest than most interviewers

  • Always great

    Always great, even when the guests are a bit twattish (see Damon Albarn). Adam did well to not take it seriously and to give as good as he got. In complete contrast with Damon, Rebecca Lucy Taylor was a delight. Open, honest, self-deprecating, human. The chat felt more like even sided chat between friends. More guests like this please!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP.272 - BRIDGET CHRISTIE & ALICE BOYD LIVE @ BRISTOL - BEACON THEATRE, 2024
Q: What are your thoughts on AI completely devaluing academia? Can she be tamed? Should we give up?
Bridget suggests it's not worth spiraling into anxiety; she's less fraught and believes it's easier to be happy if you don't overthink it, while acknowledging the ongoing impact and need to adapt.
EP.273 - PATRICK RADDEN KEEFE
Q: How did you approach turning a New Yorker piece into a full-length book without compromising the subjects' trust?
Keefe describes initial meetings with Zach's parents, the importance of sobriety and sensitivity, and the decision to avoid sensationalism or promising to solve a mystery, focusing instead on a carefully constructed narrative over time.
EP.273 - PATRICK RADDEN KEEFE
Q: What were you like when you were a teenage boy?
Buxton asks about Keefe's own adolescence as a contrast to his subject, prompting reflections on identity, risk, and the draw of glamour, which Keefe ties to his broader interest in how youth and reinvention play out in his books.
EP.267 - RICHARD AYOADE & FRANK BLACK (LIVE)
Q: What do you think about the conversation around Wes Anderson, especially post the memes?
Ayoade suggests that while Wes's originality is often penalized, the memes serve as an enjoyment of aesthetic rather than a true representation of his work.
EP.267 - RICHARD AYOADE & FRANK BLACK (LIVE)
Q: What's it like working with Wes Anderson?
Ayoade talks about Wes's preparedness, mention of his animated storyboards, and how the filming environment is pleasant and cohesive with long-term collaborators.
