  • Cringe!

    Used to absolutely love Adam, and I am from a similar background to him so can’t really legitimately join the criticism of him / his guests for being a ‘posho’ or whatever, BUT this latest Q&A episode with this young producer is AWFUL. It’s awful that someone who’s so famous for interviewing would allow himself to be effectively interviewed (obvs they’re listener questions, but he’s relaying them) by a hype man who is so clearly in awe of him. Also, the way Diggory(?) says ‘hmm, mmhmm, huh?’ whi... more

  • Wonderful interviewer

    Adam is so emotionally intelligent- he is such a natural interviewer and never highjacks conversations. He always puts his guest first and is a pleasure to listen to.

  • 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

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?
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.
