Adam and British writer, journalist, and environmental activist George Monbiot go for a walk around the parks and woodland of Bristol and talk about the harmful aspects of farming, what George does for a good time, why being sent away to boarding school was a disaster, responding to criticism of his work, why he changed his mind about nuclear power, and what gives him hope. This conversation was recorded on 26th April, 2023 Thanks to Séamus Murphy-Mitchell for production support and conversation editing.

Hey, Adam here with a shout out for a new podcast series that I'm acting in.
It's called up in Smoke.
It's a dark supernatural drama told in the style of a factual, true crime investigative podcast, written and directed by Guy Larson and Cambria Bailey Jones.
Up in Smoke.
The first two episodes are available now from your favorite podcast bin.
I added one more podcast to the giant podcast bin.
Now you have plucked that podcast out and started listening.
I took my microphone and found some human folk.
Then I recorded all the noises while we spoke.
My name is Adam Buxton.
I'm a man.
I want you to enjoy this.
That's the plan.
Hey, how you doing, Podcats?
It's Adam Buxton here and I'm reporting to you from a field in Norfolk county.
And I'm yomping through a dewy field with my best dog friend in the whole world, which is Rosie Buxton.
How you doing, Rosie?
Not too excited about being on this walk in the wet grass, actually.
Oh, dear.
Well, we need some exercise, so it's nice to be out.
