Adam talks with Scottish journalist and broadcaster Kirsty Young about the danger of falling in love with the sound of your own voice, why social media isn't all bad (or is it?), whether you should trust the BBC, behind the scenes moments from Desert Island Discs, their respective encounters with Tom Hanks, when and if it's OK for broadcasters to get emotional, why the death of the Queen nearly tipped Kirsty over the edge live on air, what got Kirsty through her bout of ill health, and a few of the things she and Adam put in Room 101. There's also some unexpected Song Wars nostalgia. This conversation was recorded face to face in London on October 18th, 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?
Adam Buxton here reporting to you from a Norfolk farm track towards the beginning of November 2023.
Well, it's bonfire night, to be precise, as I record this.
A chilly Sunday evening.
The sun is going down.
Great sunset, absolutely terrific.
I'm giving it.
