Thank you so much for a really inspiring episode - I need to go and explore a few of Kazuo's works now! Also very excited to hear more about the auction!

Great guest, great chat, would recommend to a friend.

Always loved Remains of the day and it was a joy to find out the writer is such a thoughtful, articulate and pleasant man. Lots of food for thought here!

Adam talks with British writer Kazuo Ishiguro (Remains Of the Day, Never Let Me Go, The Buried Giant, Klara and the Sun) about sci-fi, artificial intelligence, the nature of emotions and whether an AI Rosie would be as good as the real thing.

Recorded remotely on 7th December, 2020

Thanks to Séamus Murphy-Mitchell for production support and Matt Lamont for conversation editing.

British comedian Adam Buxton talks with interesting people. The rambly conversations are sometimes funny, sometimes more serious with funny bits. Adam 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 & Joe who have worked together since 1995. 

You can find many of the insanely catchy jingles Adam makes for the podcast as well as amazing bonus material, beautiful merchandise and a selection of his incredibly funny and brilliant YouTube videos on the free Adam Buxton app.

Adam is writing this himself using the third person.
