THE ADAM BUXTON PODCAST

Adam waffles with British actor Himesh Patel about misunderstood films and albums, whether he's as worried as he looks, the weirdness of making a TV show about humanity struggling to begin again after an apocalyptic pandemic (Station 11) just as a real pandemic was taking hold, filming the Odyssey with Christopher Nolan, what Himesh believes happens when you die and how it relates to Star Trek. And cocktails.

Adam talks with English actor and writer Maxine Peake about being filmed by The South Banks Show when she was only 21, why method actors make her sad, why Diane Morgan impressed her so much at drama school, growing up in household of harsh bants, comfort eating and body image anxiety and whether every artist should feel a responsibility to speak out on political issues.

Adam rambles with Irish stand-up comedian, writer, and actor Dylan Moran about why he hates facts, chronic pain, what it means to be a man of advanced middle age in the 2020s, how many gummies is too many, music and why he thinks our reliance on tech and online culture is fostering a false sense of urgency, constant judgment, and digital dementia. Plus Dylan plays one of his songs on the guitar even though he can't play the guitar.
