  • Just enough silliness!

    We are in the US and I used to download A&J podcasts and burn them on CD's. I was commuting at the time and they amused me mildly. Our son became a fan and I'd pass them off to my mother who would listen with my nephew. (Her grandson) We all became massive fans and parrots shouting A&J phrases at every opportunity. A recent visit from UK cousins allowed me to rediscover AB. I immediately texted (the nation, well across the nation) to my nephew in California. let joy be UNRESTRAINED! We are all ... more

  • Used to be my favourite

    This used to be one of my favourite podcasts as it was free and really entertaining. Not only has this podcast been pretty much none existent the last two years, It’s now no longer free so I find myself reappraising. Okay you have to make a living. Thats fair I understand it.

    But so do we and if it’s a choice between entertainment and basic living expenses then it’s a No.

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?

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?

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.
