Adam Buxton

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

Adam Buxton talks to Louis Theroux about holiday buffet etiquette, then checks in briefly with BaaadDad (Adam's father Nigel) to get his facts straight.

EP.1 - 'HOLIDAY BUFFET' WITH LOUIS THEROUX

Adam Buxton talks to pop musician Lianne La Havas about hanging out with Prince & Stevie Wonder and she plays a version of her song 'Grow'. 

Watch the video of that performance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSTe_lYBd9s

There's also a rare clip of legendary American standup Guy Manguyman talking about doing a spot where he was worried about killing but ended up crushing.

CONTAINS SOME BAD LANGUAGE AND SOME STUPID LANGUAGE

EP.2 - LIANNE LA HAVAS

In episode 3 of his podcast, Adam Buxton takes you on a journey through a  week suffering from a cold via voice note diaries recorded during a recent bout of illness a few days before he was supposed to be doing a handful of live shows in London.

And before that Adam talks about recent developments in his (hitherto non-existent) relationship with one of his musical heroes: Brian Eno

EP.34 - ADAM & JOE XMAS 2016

RHLSTP #138: Adam Buxton - How Short Are You That You Can Not Reach? Richard has been gifted an almost free Twirl by the Universe. But has he been moral, immoral or amoral? To help us find out, the first ever three times returning guest on the podcast and multi-award winning podcaster, Adam Buxton. The pair discuss middle-aged confrontations and why the staff at WH Smiths in Cambridge station are maybe overzealous, how Adam appeared like a guardian angel when Richard was in trouble and telepathically summoned him, terror of mortality, what to name a dog, the frustrations of being considered small in stature, what it's like to play a head in a box, how to keep your family alive when everyone expects podcasts to be free, plus a musical finale, which has maybe come a couple of decades too late.
