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 the 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 and a selection of Adam's YouTube videos on his website: adam-buxton.co.uk
Yes, Adam is writing this himself using the third person.

Adam talks with Australian comedian Sam Campbell as they walk around The Latitude Festival and get to know each other. Topics include whether it's OK for a Brit to do an Aussie accent, Sam's upbringing in Queensland, Adam's hat, the rules of stand-up comedy, whether AI is good at writing plays, why Kasabian chose their name, ear injuries, why painting sheep pink is the kind of thing conservatives do and creative angst. But mainly Sam makes Adam laugh.
