Daydreaming is harder for adults, who often require a prompt to think about something pleasant.

Why Are Adults So Bad At Daydreaming?

Semiconductors are in high demand, disrupting global supply chains, and more from this week’s science news.

A Year Of Staying Home Has Led To A Global Chip Crisis

New research finds that the brains of Alzheimer’s patients are less able to obtain energy from glucose.

Untangling Alzheimer’s Connection To Insulin Resistance

Hello, Adam Buxton here.

In 2006 Joe and I put out 20 short podcasts which included conversational moments from our first ever radio show, on London's Xfm, Saturday mornings on and off between 2004 - 2006. As pickings from the radio show were often slim, we'd record other bits in our own time. Even then we'd keep it short.

The final episode (from a commuter train) includes ludicrous talking about eating smelly food in public, how to keep love alive, Dragon's Den (featuring Joe's uncanny Duncan Bannatyne impression) and a sweary trip to the zoo.

Well, there we are. It was nearly ten years ago. In a couple of years, it will be.

THE ADAM & JOE XFM PODCAST 2006 - 20

Hello, Adam Buxton here.

In 2006 Joe and I put out 20 short podcasts which included conversational moments from our first ever radio show, on London's Xfm, Saturday mornings on and off between 2004 - 2006. As pickings from the radio show were often slim, we'd record other bits in our own time, hence the bad language.

This is a compilation of some of my favourite bits.

THE BEST OF THE ADAM & JOE XFM PODCAST 2006

CONTAINS BAD AND STRONG LANGUAGE (whatever the intro says...)!!! Adam enjoys another ramble chat with film-maker/journalist and long time friend Louis Theroux about putting on make up in public, cinema etiquette, heckling and the fun/annoying things that kids say.

EP.10 - LOUIS THEROUX

407 - Terence McKenna: “The Evolutionary Importance of Technology”

Polynesia

Adam talks with British comedian James Acaster about school, a teenage religious/existential crisis, listening to music in cars, James's quest to find the best music of 2016, the joy of sulking and much other enjoyable business. The conversation was recorded in November 2018.
Thanks to Séamus Murphy-Mitchell for production support and to Matt Lamont for additional editing.

PODCAST EP.92 - JAMES ACASTER

"as you become more keenly focused on opening to all that you are.. the fullness of your being begins to operate in an integrated fashion.. this requires you to shift from your local identity into your spiritual identity.. into your identity residing in your knowing of yourself as a divine multidimensional being"

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.
