Contents

Format

The first episode of The Adam Buxton Podcast was released in September 2015. [1] Most episodes begin with an introduction from Buxton as he walks through the Norfolk countryside with his dog Rosie, followed by a previously recorded conversation with the episode's guest. [2] [1] Interviews cover personal and cultural topics, punctuated with musical interludes from Buxton. [3] Christmas episodes feature the filmmaker Joe Cornish, with whom Buxton once formed the comedy duo Adam and Joe. [4]

Buxton described the podcast as "a confection ... a heavily stylised greatest hits of a conversation". [4] He told Wired that podcasts can "accommodate the rhythms and meanderings of a real conversation in a way that few other mediums are suited to do", unlike the tightly edited interviews and conversations on broadcast radio and television. [5]

Reception

The Guardian described Buxton's interviews as "a masterclass in softly-softly interviewing", and named episode 29, an interview with the documentary filmmaker Louis Theroux, one of the "ultimate podcast episodes". [6] The Irish Times wrote that "Buxton's interviews are gentle, funny, compassionate, interested – it's almost as if you could learn how to be a better conversationalist just from listening to him." [3] GQ wrote that Buxton "can be funny, flippant and throwaway, while also revealing a deeply personal emotional honesty and vulnerability". [7]
