Description

British comedian Adam Buxton talks with interesting people. The rambly conversations are sometimes funny, sometimes more serious with funny bits. Adam makes the jingles and records the intros and outros for most episodes while walking with his dog friend Rosie in the East Anglian countryside where he lives with his wife and three children.


Adam has appeared in films such as Hot Fuzz, Stardust and Son Of Rambow as well as a variety of TV shows in the UK. Since 2007 he has hosted BUG, a live show that combines music videos and comedy that became a TV series on Sky Atlantic in 2012. From time to time he also does live shows featuring just his own material. Along with lifelong friend Joe Cornish he also is one half of award winning TV, radio and podcast duo Adam and Joe.


You can find many of the jingles Adam makes for the podcast as well as bonus material, merchandise and a selection of funny and brilliant YouTube videos on Adam's website: adam-buxton.co.uk


Yes, Adam is writing this himself using the third person.

George is an excellent and calm speaker and I share his views. I was also a Zoologist and have been an IT careerist, and see everything as 'systems'. Surely the ultimate driver for ALL our problems (which George did NOT mention) and affects nature, food, water, pollution, water as well as social issues etc., etc. ... is the sheer (and growing) size of the human population.

George needs to study regenerative agriculture. He also ignores that grazing land is largely less suitable for arable crops. ...and that methane story again. Absolutely , there are improvements to be made to the agricultural system. he recognises soil degradation... however regenerative agriculture is one of the best ways we can improve that situation...

Great chat, only (slight & amusing) disappointment was that I half hoped in the outro Adam would tell us that the pigeon from the intro was actually one of Fred's new sound effects. That would have been an amazing cherry on the cake of an already fab episode!

A great episode, only ruined by the unexpected appearance of Billy Bragg.
